New Showbiz Analysis

The film centers on the contrasting journeys of two women, moving away from traditional male-dominated horror narratives. However, it lacks depth in representing various aspects of diversity, such as LGBTQ+ identities, disability, and specific ethnic backgrounds. Ultimately, the film follows typical mystery and thriller conventions without clear signs of challenging societal norms.
