The Signalman

The film focuses solely on a heterosexual male character and does not include any LGBTQ+ identities or subtext.

The film adheres to traditional Victorian gender roles, centering on a male protagonist and lacking women's ability to drive the story or diverse gender expressions.

The film casts a predominantly white, Anglo-Saxon working-class population, reflecting the historical homogeneity of the Victorian era without introducing diverse racial backgrounds.

The story follows a standard supernatural narrative centered around duty and professional responsibility, without critiquing Western institutions or traditional morality.

Psychological trauma and mental instability are used primarily as horror clichés to create tension, rather than exploring lived experiences of neurodivergence.
