Selfie from Hell centers its narrative on female protagonists, diverging from traditional male-dominated horror archetypes. This provides a baseline of gendered representation within the genre. However, the film lacks depth in exploring multi-layered identities. The international element is limited to a single European protagonist, and the narrative focuses more on digital-age psychological terror than on broader social or cultural diversity. Ultimately, the film operates within conventional mystery-horror frameworks without actively challenging social hierarchies or offering diverse representation across other key categories.
