The film offers a fresh perspective rooted in Southeast Asian spiritual traditions. By placing the story in Thailand and featuring local characters, it sidesteps the usual Hollywood-centric approach to horror. However, it adheres to conventional social structures. The romantic dynamics are strictly heterosexual, and the female characters follow typical genre roles without significantly disrupting patriarchal norms. While the cultural and racial diversity is strong, the absence of LGBTQ+ identities and disabilities limits the overall inclusivity.
