Detailed Bias Analysis

Leans Progressive
Primary
The film's central conflict and the origins of its supernatural horror are deeply rooted in themes of environmental exploitation, economic decline, and intergenerational trauma, which align with progressive critiques of societal and systemic issues.
The film incorporates visible diversity through a significant Indigenous character who provides cultural context to the narrative's folklore. While exploring themes of environmental impact and intergenerational trauma, the story does not explicitly critique traditional identities or center DEI themes in a critical manner.
Secondary
The film adapts Nick Antosca's short story "The Quiet Boy." In the source material, the primary adult protagonist concerned with Lucas is a male teacher named Frank. In the film, this role is taken by a female teacher, Julia Meadows, constituting a gender swap for a significant character.
The film 'Antlers' does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. Its narrative focuses on horror, trauma, and folklore, with no elements related to queer identity or experiences.
Antlers does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes within its narrative. The film's plot centers on a supernatural creature and its impact on a family and community, thus no specific portrayal of transsexual identity is present for evaluation.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The film "Antlers" is an adaptation of the short story "The Quiet Boy." The source material does not explicitly establish the race of its characters, making it impossible to identify instances where a character's race was changed from a canonically defined baseline.
