The film heavily emphasizes identity factors such as race, sexuality, and gender over traditional slasher character arcs. Diverse characters often get spotlighted with little exploration of skill or individual growth, and these traits tend to dominate their roles and presence. There’s a clear prioritization of inclusion over narrative coherence, which some viewers feel disrupts immersion and classic tension.

Traditional family and moral structures are largely sidelined or depicted in a negative light. Authority figures are ineffectual, and the story often subverts typical gender roles, with traditionally masculine traits being lampooned or portrayed as toxic. The film leans heavily into revising the horror genre’s usual tone to align with modern sensibilities.

Alternative perspectives, especially anything less than affirming of modern progressive ideals on race, gender, and identity, are either villainized or ignored. Traditional worldviews typically get reduced to caricature bad guys, and genuine debate or pluralism is essentially absent from the narrative.
