The film prioritizes classic slasher tropes and genre thrills over identity politics. Characters aren't really tokens for ideological messaging, and their backgrounds rarely overshadow their narrative roles. The film is more interested in horror gimmicks than checking modern Hollywood boxes, giving it a refreshingly non-woke vibe for those seeking pure entertainment.

There’s little attempt to undermine traditional values or subvert gender roles. Family, religion, and masculinity aren’t really topics of focus, the movie just wants to scare and entertain. Traditional masculinity is present via typical slasher archetypes, without excessive mockery or revisionism. This is a relic from pre-woke Hollywood, for better or worse.

Alternative worldviews aren’t the focal point, nor are they mocked for ideological reasons. This isn’t a movie where everyone agrees on political dogma; instead, it's a whodunit among a quirky, varied cast. There's no lecture, no groupthink, and no forced ideological alignment consuming the narrative.
