Detailed Bias Analysis

Analyzing...
Leans Traditional

Primary

The film's central conflict and resolution are rooted in individual moral failings and supernatural consequences within a historical horror narrative, rather than engaging with contemporary political ideologies or systemic issues.

The movie features a cast that is predominantly white, consistent with traditional representations and its historical setting. The narrative focuses on a supernatural haunting and family secrets, without explicitly critiquing traditional identities or centering on DEI themes.

Secondary

The film portrays Christian religious practices as ineffective against the malevolent haunting, which stems from the unpunished abuse committed by a prominent, hypocritical Christian character. This highlights the faith's inability to address profound evil originating from within its own community.

An American Haunting does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative is entirely focused on a supernatural haunting and related family drama, resulting in no portrayal of queer identity.

The film "An American Haunting" does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. The narrative focuses on a supernatural haunting and family secrets, with no elements related to transgender identity or experiences.

The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.

The film adapts the historical Bell Witch legend. All major characters and historical figures depicted maintain their documented or established gender from the source material and historical record.

The film "An American Haunting" is based on the historical Bell Witch legend. The main characters, the Bell family, are portrayed by actors whose race aligns with the documented historical race of the real-life figures, with no instances of a character established as one race being portrayed as another.
