Haunters

The film does not include any LGBTQ+ characters or stories. The plot revolves around a central conflict between two male protagonists.

The story focuses on masculine-coded conflicts typical of thrillers. Female characters are notably absent from high-stakes or intellectually dominant roles.

As a South Korean production, the cast is mainly Korean. While it avoids Hollywood’s Anglo-centric norms, it remains homogeneous within its domestic industry.

The film uses supernatural abilities as a metaphor for individual autonomy versus systemic control. It focuses on psychological confrontation rather than cultural or political commentary.

Special powers are framed as superhuman capabilities rather than lived experiences of disability. There is no portrayal of characters with disabilities having real ability to act outside speculative frameworks.
