Detailed Bias Analysis
Analyzing...
Center
Primary
The film's narrative is entirely focused on supernatural horror and the fight against a demonic entity, which are inherently apolitical themes, leading to a neutral rating. It does not engage with or promote any specific political ideologies or societal critiques.
The movie features some visible diversity within its ensemble cast of orphaned girls, though without explicit race or gender swaps of traditionally white roles. Its narrative maintains a neutral or positive framing of traditional identities and does not incorporate explicit DEI themes into its horror plot.
Secondary
The film uses Christian iconography, practices, and themes (nuns, orphans, prayer, demonic possession) as a central framework for its horror narrative. While characters face immense evil, their faith is consistently portrayed as a source of strength, comfort, and a means to combat the demonic entity, aligning with the virtues of the faith.
Annabelle: Creation does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative is solely dedicated to its horror plotline, resulting in no portrayal of queer identity within the film's scope.
Annabelle: Creation is a horror film centered on the origin of a demonic doll and the terror it inflicts. The narrative does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes, nor does it explore gender identity in any capacity. The film's plot is entirely focused on supernatural horror and the backstory of the Annabelle doll.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
Annabelle: Creation introduces new characters and expands on existing ones within the Conjuring universe. No character established as one gender in prior canon or history is portrayed as a different gender in this film.
Annabelle: Creation is a prequel that introduces new characters whose races were not previously established. The origin of the character Annabelle Higgins is consistent with her later portrayals. No characters were canonically established as one race and then depicted as another.
