Produced by Toei Animation and\u003cbr\u003edirected by Yugo Serikawa (THE LITTLE PRINCE \u0026amp;amp; THE EIGHT-HEADED DRAGON,\u003cbr\u003eCYBORG 009), the film opens on images of a ruined graveyard and a castle lab with\u003cbr\u003egruesome animal heads and bone saws – and never lets up from there, as Dr.\u003cbr\u003eFrankenstein (voiced by Nachi Nozawa), his wife and daughter are followed by the\u003cbr\u003etormented creature (voiced by Hosei Komatsu), who is barely able to mutter his own\u003cbr\u003ename (he’s known as just “Franken” in the film.) The hulking, shambling “Franken”\u003cbr\u003eultimately emerges as a pitiable and despairing figure on par with Boris Karloff’s\u003cbr\u003eincarnation from the 1930s (and watch for the scene where he staggers into a church\u003cbr\u003eand compares the wound on his hand to the stigmata on the crucified Jesus!).
