An American Werewolf in Paris

The film follows a traditional heterosexual romantic arc between Alex and a female counterpart. There are no queer narratives or non-cisgender identities present in the central plot.

Female characters function primarily within a standard romantic interest framework. While they possess some ability to act, they do not disrupt traditional gender hierarchies or masculine leadership.

The international setting provides a multicultural backdrop, but the film lacks characters of color in actively leading roles. It avoids techniques that challenge historical casting norms.

The 'fish out of water' cliché serves as a comedic device rather than a systemic critique. Portrayals of authority figures follow standard horror genre conventions.

The body horror of physical transformation serves as a plot device for terror and spectacle. It does not offer a nuanced portrayal of lived experience or disability.
