Swallowed Souls: The Making of 'Evil Dead 2' functions primarily as a technical and historical retrospective. Because it is a 'making-of' documentary, the narrative is dictated by the production history of a 1987 horror film rather than intentional social exploration. The film serves as an archival record of a specific cinematic era. Consequently, the presence of diverse identities is incidental to the documentation of the original crew and cast, reflecting the industry standards of the late 1980s. Ultimately, the work lacks the narrative intent to engage with identity politics or systemic power dynamics, focusing instead on the technical lineage of the production.
