This documentary uses a mixed style with archive footage, interviews, and narration to explore the themes of religion, beliefs, death, and the power of media through a criminal investigation and the influence of Marilyn Manson on youth culture. It has an open narrative structure as the questions raised are not fully answered and follows a single, non-linear timeline. Camerawork includes tracking shots, handheld footage, and conventional interviews while the mise-en-scene contrasts religious symbols and iconography with Marilyn Manson's persona through lighting and clothing. Sound design incorporates church music, a translator, and a young male voiceover to tie the documentary together.

date order on the documentary.

long shots to show the area during the day the
comparison when the youths come out at night.

symbols, the iconography of religion really
creates the atmosphere.

their respects which was peaceful and is the
opposite to Marilyn's music which is played a lot.
