The film successfully challenges traditional gender hierarchies by placing a female protagonist at the center of the story against skeptical male-dominated institutions. It uses horror to critique the failure of scientific and legal systems to validate individual truths. However, the film lacks diversity in terms of race, ethnicity, or LGBTQ+ identities. Its narrow focus on a homogeneous social environment limits its broader impact.
