What is distinctive and surprising about the look and feel of this film, in terms of decor (the hospital), lighting (harsh and crude), camera angles, camera movement, and the use of different sorts of footage?
How does Fuller edit the film? To what extent does he observe, and to what extent violate, the rules of continuity editing? How does he use various sorts of noticeable edits, or cuts that call attention to themselves--including rapid, violent cuts in certain scenes--to convey emotional effect?
How would you describe and categorize this film in terms of genre? Is it an exercise in harsh realism, or a flight into fantasy? Is it a kind of horror or adventure film (concerned with evoking excitement, danger, and visceral effects in the audience)? Or is it a symbolic or allegorical film (concerned with conveying a larger message)? Is it a sleazy exploitation feature, or an avant-garde art film? Obviously, in proposing such alternatives, I am suggesting that the answer, on some level, is "both"; but how is such an odd combination possible?
What point of view does Fuller set up? Where are you, the spectator, placed in relation to the events of the film?
Is there a moral, or didactic message, to this film? If so, what is it, and how is it conveyed?
