Detailed Bias Analysis

Center
Primary
The film's core conflict, a supernatural serial killer targeting teenagers and the protagonist's identity struggle, is inherently apolitical. The narrative focuses on individual confrontation with a malevolent force rather than promoting or critiquing any specific political ideology or societal solution.
The movie features a visibly diverse cast in supporting roles, though it does not explicitly recast traditionally white characters for DEI purposes. The narrative primarily focuses on its horror premise, maintaining a neutral or positive framing of traditional identities without explicit critique or central DEI themes.
Secondary
The film features a character whose gender identity (born female, identifies as male) is a central plot twist. This identity is problematically linked to a serial killer's spirit, which is depicted as suppressing the character's 'true' female self. The portrayal frames gender identity as a source of villainy and manipulation, resulting in a negative net impact.
The film "My Soul to Take" does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. Its narrative focuses entirely on a group of teenagers targeted by a serial killer, with no elements related to queer identity or experiences present in the plot or character arcs.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
My Soul to Take is an original film written and directed by Wes Craven. All characters were created specifically for this movie, meaning there are no pre-existing characters from source material or previous installments whose gender could have been swapped.
This film is an original story with characters created specifically for it. There are no pre-existing canonical or historical characters whose race could have been altered from prior source material or history.
