The film lacks explicit evidence of non-cisnormative identities. It follows a standard period horror template without active engagement with queer themes or narratives that critique heteronormativity.

The story centers on a young male prison guard, a role typical of the 1930s setting. It does not demonstrate the subversion of gender hierarchies or the elevation of female agency.

While the prison setting implies a diverse inmate population, the narrative lacks specific details regarding the depth of characters of color. It appears to follow traditional genre tropes.

The film focuses on individual suspense within a state institution rather than critiquing Western structures. There is no evidence of moral relativism or a challenge to traditional social orders.

The narrative provides no mention of characters navigating physical, sensory, or neurodivergent experiences.
