The film's central conflict and its resolution are rooted in universal themes of friendship, trauma, and courage against a supernatural evil, rather than any specific political ideology.

Its narrative focuses on the characters' struggle against a supernatural entity and personal trauma, rather than offering a critical portrayal of traditional identities or making explicit DEI themes central to the plot.
The film presents a complex portrayal, opening with a brutal homophobic hate crime that is unequivocally condemned.
