Center
Primary
The film primarily explores supernatural horror rooted in Thai folk beliefs, presenting a core conflict that lacks inherent political valence and refraining from championing any specific ideological solution, thus resulting in a neutral rating.
The movie features an authentic Thai cast, reflecting its cultural setting without engaging in explicit race or gender swaps of traditionally white roles. Its narrative centers on local folklore and family dynamics, and does not include critical portrayals of Western traditional identities or explicit DEI themes.
Secondary
The film features Mac, the protagonist's gay brother, whose sexual orientation is acknowledged through his relationship with a male partner. This depiction is incidental, serving as a minor character detail rather than a central theme. It neither uplifts nor denigrates LGBTQ+ identity, maintaining a neutral stance within the narrative.
