The Garlock Incident adheres to the conventional boundaries of independent found-footage horror. While the casting reflects some diversity, the narrative remains tied to traditional genre clichés. The focus on survival in a remote desert setting limits opportunities for storytelling that reflects multiple aspects of identity. Diversity is present through cast composition but not through narrative intent.
