Innsmouth succeeds in subverting the typical male-dominated detective archetype by placing Detective Diana Olmstead at the center of the mystery. This provides a refreshing shift in power dynamics within the horror genre. However, the film lacks depth in other areas of representation. The absence of information regarding racial diversity and the ambiguity of the central female relationship prevent a more robust score. Ultimately, the film functions as a character-driven horror piece that prioritizes individual encounters over systemic or broad demographic representation.
