Perhaps the people who named the film did not see it? Aside from inane titling, the viewer is in for a twist on the Frankenstein motif that adds absolutely nothing to the horror genre. The giant Frankenstein monster is done fairly well for its time though the viewer might wonder why anyone would go to the trouble to super-size him. Although the idea that Frankenstein is composed of corpses is totally lost, the Japanese version of the monster retains the original monster's ignorant innocence. The film is less an exercise in bringing Frankenstein under control than it is an exercise in retaining this spark of humanity for no real reason. For the viewer, the exercise is simply staying awake.
