[edit] The Frankenstein canon

The film is often compared with the Frankenstein cycle made by the Hammer Studios (1957-72), and may also have been an influence on Paul Morrisey's controversial Flesh for Frankenstein (1973).

[edit] Feminism

Di Lorenzo intended on presenting a feminist slant to the mad scientist genre.^{[citation needed]}
