The Empty Chair: Final Exam

The film does not include explicit LGBTQ+ characters or non-cisgender identities. It focuses on a supernatural threat within a student body, sticking to traditional social groupings.

Though the cast includes prominent female performers, it is unclear if these roles challenge traditional gender hierarchies. The story centers on student survival without showing women taking a leading role.

As a regional Indonesian production, the film offers a localized, non-Western demographic. However, race is not a central theme in the story.

The film explores local spiritual frameworks through themes of possession. However, the school setting upholds traditional institutional structures rather than deconstructing them.

There is no mention of neurodivergence or physical disabilities in the character arcs. Possession narratives can sometimes use mental health issues as horror plot devices.
