Detailed Bias Analysis
Analyzing...
Progressive
Primary
The film's central thesis explicitly promotes a progressive critique of conservative, far-right ideologies, directly satirizing "MAGA" rhetoric and portraying associated values as toxic and violent.
The movie features a strong female protagonist who challenges traditional genre roles and centers its narrative on a critique of generational conflict, portraying the adult community as antagonists who scapegoat the youth for societal problems. While the film lacks explicit racial or ethnic diversity in its described casting, it uses socioeconomic and age-based dynamics to explore themes of marginalization and power.
Secondary
Clown in a Cornfield portrays LGBTQ+ characters as well-rounded individuals naturally integrated into the narrative, avoiding stereotypes. A gay male character and a queer romance subplot contribute to the story's themes respectfully. This progressive approach normalizes queer identities within a diverse community, marking a positive and nuanced representation in the horror genre.
Based on the available information, Clown in a Cornfield (2025) does not appear to feature any transsexual characters or themes. The film's narrative focuses on the slasher horror genre, generational divides, and economic decline, with no references to transgender or transsexual identities. Therefore, there is no depiction to evaluate.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
All principal characters in the 2025 film "Clown in a Cornfield" are portrayed with on-screen genders that align with their established descriptions in Adam Cesare's source novel. There is no evidence of any character's gender being changed from the source material.
The source novel does not specify the race of any character. While some supporting teen roles are cast with actors of different races than the implied historical demographics of the setting, this does not contradict any explicit racial descriptions from the source material, thus not meeting the definition of a race swap.
