The canon of these movies is so confusing. The second film introduces Hans Kleav, a new assistant for Frankenstein. He appears again in the third film, though the actor has changed, as well as his apparent origin story (and that of Frankenstein’s for that matter). In this one, Frankenstein has an assistant similar to Hans, but it’s not him. Inexplicably, there’s a new character named Hans who has nothing to do with the previous character, and the titular WOMAN in this is named Christina Kleav. Is… is there relation? Why do these names keep recurring if they don’t mean anything?
Anyway, this one isn’t bad. It takes far too long for Christina to begin her killing spree, and I largely prefer when Frankenstein works with brains rather than souls. It turns a sci-fi idea into a fantasy one, which isn’t as fun for this world, and it gives a bit more credence to the villagers who constantly accuse him of being a witch. If he’s stealing souls now, he quite literally is a witch.
