What kind of rhetoric is the film using to portray the story? What effect does that rhetoric produce?
For example: The film uses lots of visual shadows which enhance the monster’s monstrous size, make the film feel more “horror”-like, and highlight Fritz’s deformity.

shadows.
In the film, the rhetoric is very "old fashioned". The effect that this has on the theme and feeling of the film is it gives the film the effect of it taking place in its time period. For example, if a character were to use a word such as "that's tight", or "that was ballin'", it simply wouldn't be appropriate because those slang phrases didn't even exist at the time. The rhetoric, in summary, helps achieve the theme of taking place a veryy long time ago.
I forgot the name of the film term but an example would be the camera would look at an empty doorway implying someone or something will soon fill it. This made the film more scary because in my mind I made a scene that only had a door and I foreshadowed the monster coming into it before it happened. The movie becomes scarier in your mind.
