The Possessed

The film does not include characters with non-traditional gender identities or narratives that question the assumption that everyone is straight. It follows a traditional approach to morality and gender roles common in 1970s religious horror.

The story centers on a male protagonist who exercises authority over a predominantly female space. While female students are part of the conflict, ability to act is vested in a male figure, reinforcing patriarchal hierarchies.

There is no indication of a diverse or non-Anglo-Saxon majority cast. The production appears to adhere to the homogeneous casting standards of the era, centering on a Western-centric conflict.

The narrative is rooted in singular Christian morality, positioning religious authority as the primary defense against evil. It reinforces traditional Western institutions rather than critiquing them.

The film provides no evidence of characters with physical or neurodivergent disabilities. There is no information regarding their presence or portrayal within the narrative.
