Primary
The film explores psychological tension, the ambiguity of the supernatural, and the corruption of innocence through a governess's unraveling mind.

Secondary

Her fervent belief in sin and possession, while not condemning Christianity itself, leads to tragic outcomes and psychological torment for the children, suggesting a problematic application of faith.
