Yes I'm pretty harsh on this movie. There is nothing wrong with the visuals of the movie they are pretty good and the costumes and setting are very fitting for the time. However the plot are rather dull and not that much is happening. The characters show little to no depth. The events are stretched in such a way that it became tedious to watch. Links to the Frankenstein story are inevitable but here you have a monster made out of clay put to life by magic. The monster looks pretty good but not really threatening. The plot and the solution it is all rather simple. No this was pretty much a stinker compared to the awesome Cabinet of Dr. Caligari that came out in the same year.
