A Dragonfly for Each Corpse operates as a traditional 1970s genre exercise. While the premise of targeting 'deviant' individuals touches upon themes of social exclusion, the film lacks evidence of a deeper systemic critique. The narrative appears to utilize social transgression primarily as a plot device to drive horror and tension. Without specific character arcs, it is difficult to determine if the film offers any progressive reclamation of the identities it depicts. Ultimately, the film seems to adhere to the conventional frameworks of the era, focusing on the mechanics of a thriller rather than challenging the social hierarchies of the time.
