Detailed Bias Analysis

Leans Traditional
Primary
The film's central conflict revolves around an existential alien threat and human survival, which are largely apolitical sci-fi horror tropes. Its narrative does not explicitly promote or critique specific political ideologies, leading to a neutral rating.
The movie features primarily traditional casting with no explicit DEI-driven recasting of roles. Its narrative focuses on a science fiction horror plot without critiquing traditional identities or incorporating explicit DEI themes.
Secondary
The film portrays Christianity through characters like Father Hargreaves, who earnestly attempts to combat the alien threat with spiritual understanding. While traditional religious methods prove ineffective against the unique cosmic evil, the film does not ridicule the faith or its adherents, treating their beliefs with respect and sympathy rather than portraying them as foolish or hypocritical.

Lifeforce (1985) does not feature identifiable transsexual characters or themes. The film's alien antagonist possesses human bodies of different sexes as a predatory act, a sci-fi horror trope unrelated to human gender identity or experience.

No other female characters engage in or win physical combat against male opponents.
