The Cannibal Club is a surrealist horror-comedy that focuses on critiquing systemic issues rather than explicit identity politics. By using the horror genre, it exposes the predatory nature of the ruling class and capitalist structures. While the film doesn't deeply represent LGBTQ+ or disability categories, it disrupts conventional narratives through cultural commentary. The portrayal of a powerful congressman and a cannibalistic elite highlights institutional corruption.
