According to Derek Anderson of Daily Dead, the film is "A delightfully dark, Frankenstein-themed horror comedy about a re-animated corpse, made from the stitched together body parts of three murdered young women, that decides to go on a bloody quest to find their killer and avenge their deaths!"

Daniel Kurland of Screen Rant called the film "a cutting commentary on gender dynamics and female empowerment" that "is truer to the source text than the more modern narrative." [2]
