Detailed Bias Analysis

Center
Primary
A Haunted House is a parody horror-comedy focused on supernatural events and relationship dynamics, with its humor derived from genre tropes and character interactions rather than any discernible political commentary or ideological stance.
The movie features a predominantly Black lead cast in a genre often dominated by white actors, contributing to its diversity. However, the narrative is primarily a comedic parody and does not explicitly engage in critical portrayals of traditional identities or center DEI themes.
Secondary
The film "A Haunted House" features a gay character, Dan, whose identity is predominantly used for comedic effect. The portrayal relies heavily on harmful stereotypes, presenting his effeminacy, fears, and relationship as sources of ridicule rather than depicting him with dignity or complexity. The net impact is problematic.
The film satirizes Christian clergy and exorcism rituals, portraying Father Doug as incompetent, easily scared, and morally compromised. Christian practices are shown as ineffective against the demonic entity, contributing to a negative comedic portrayal.
The film depicts Jewish demonologist Dan and his assistant Rosa as opportunistic and ineffective. Their 'Jewish exorcism' is presented as a chaotic, money-driven spectacle, satirizing Jewish religious practices and figures in a negative light.
The film "A Haunted House" does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. The narrative focuses on parodying horror tropes with a heterosexual couple and a demonic entity, without engaging with transgender identity in any capacity.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
A Haunted House (2013) is an original parody film that introduces new characters for its narrative. It does not adapt characters from pre-existing source material, previous installments, or historical records where their gender was established. Therefore, no gender swaps occur.
