Rhyme or Die employs a high-stakes survival scenario to examine systemic inequalities. By featuring a multicultural cast in a tense environment, the film diverges from conventional homogeneous casting practices in horror films. The film demonstrates a strong commitment to racial diversity, with a predominantly non-Anglo-Saxon cast that challenges traditional horror clichés. However, the limited runtime and focus on immediate threats may restrict the development of deeper identity arcs. Additionally, the narrative's impact on specific LGBTQ+ and gender dynamics remains undefined.
