Artefacts operates as a standard genre piece, focusing on the suspense of the doppelgänger cliché over social or systemic critique. The narrative structure revolves around survivalist mechanics rather than exploring identity politics. The film does not show intentional multi-layered representation. It adheres to established horror frameworks that do not actively dismantle social hierarchies or offer diverse perspectives. Ultimately, the film serves as a plot-driven science fiction thriller. It does not delve into the complexities of identity, culture, or systemic representation.
