Lust for Frankenstein

The film touches on themes of desire and obsession that go beyond the assumption that everyone is straight or cisgender. However, it doesn't clearly confirm specific LGBTQ identities or non-traditional gender expressions.

Moira Frankenstein challenges traditional gender roles by becoming the mad scientist. This places a woman in the leading role of scientific discovery and intellectual dominance.

The film follows typical casting patterns common in late-20th-century European horror movies. There is no indication of a diverse or non-Anglo-Saxon majority cast.

The film focuses on individual obsession over communal or religious ethics. It portrays scientific transgression and the pursuit of forbidden knowledge as a primary motivator.

While the story involves bodily alterations, it's unclear if these are shown with real control over their lives. There is a lack of nuanced depictions of neurodivergence or physical disabilities.
