Absurd

The film does not include characters with non-binary gender identities or narratives that question the assumption that everyone is straight or cisgender. It uses typical character types seen in early 1980s horror movies.

The story focuses on a male-dominated conflict between a priest-doctor and a mutant. It follows traditional genre conventions without challenging gender hierarchies or power structures.

The film likely sticks to the usual casting practices of 1980s Italian genre cinema, which typically feature a homogeneous cast. There is no indication of diverse casting to break historical norms.

Themes of science and religion are explored through the priest-doctor and medical lab settings. However, the film does not explicitly criticize Western or capitalist systems.

Supernatural regeneration is used as a plot device rather than a detailed look at disability. Physical differences are used to create a scary spectacle.
