The film lacks any indication of non-heteronormative identities. The plot centers on traditional interpersonal conflicts like jealousy and inheritance, which align with conventional social structures.

Female characters drive the conflict through archetypes like the jealous wife. While they possess agency, their roles are largely defined by their relationships to men and patriarchal inheritance.

The setting and production suggest a homogeneous European demographic. There is no evidence of diverse casting, focusing instead on localized, regional tensions within a Scottish village.

The story leans heavily into Western Gothic traditions, such as spooky villages and will readings. Supernatural elements like zombies introduce chaos into these traditional social institutions.

There is no evidence of characters with physical or neurodivergent disabilities. A gravedigger is described as unstable, but it is unclear if this is a nuanced portrayal.
