Category Breakdown

LGBTQ+ Representation

Minimal

The film provides no evidence of non-heteronormative identities. There are no character arcs present that critique or explore LGBTQ+ narratives.

Gender Representation

Fair

The story centers on two male protagonists, Jesse and Jacob Warner. Because female characters are absent, there is no opportunity to evaluate gender agency or subversion.

Racial & Ethnic Diversity

Minimal

The narrative lacks details regarding the racial identities of the protagonists. There is no indication of a diverse or non-Anglo-Saxon majority cast.

Religious & Cultural Diversity

Fair

The film explores modern digital culture and the performative nature of social media. However, it lacks explicit anti-Western or secularist frameworks.

Disability Representation

Minimal

There is no documentation of characters navigating physical disabilities, neurodivergence, or mental health conditions as central plot drivers.

Strengths

  • The film offers a contemporary critique of modern digital culture and the performative nature of social media consumption.

Areas for Improvement

  • The narrative lacks demographic breadth, focusing almost exclusively on a male-centric perspective.
  • There is a complete absence of diverse racial, ethnic, or LGBTQ+ representation within the known character profiles.
  • The story provides no opportunities to explore disability or neurodivergent experiences through its protagonists.

AI Analysis

Project Eerie is a genre-focused horror film that relies on a found-footage, live-stream narrative structure. The story is tightly focused on the disappearance of two male characters, Jesse and Jacob Warner, during a social media broadcast. This narrow focus results in a lack of intersectional representation. The film operates within traditional horror tropes and digital culture themes rather than engaging with systemic identity-based storytelling or progressive narrative design.
