Albertini appeared in several "strong man" films that became popular in the wake of Bartolomeo Pagano's role as the muscular slave Maciste in Cabiria (1914).

[6] Writing in his 1973 book The Frankenstein Legend: A Tribute to Mary Shelley and Boris Karloff, Donald Glut was unable to outline any substantial details about the film other than "there is a confrontation between the creator and creature in a shadowy cave.

"[7] Russ Hunter stated these assertions come from a Belgian flyer for the film that shows a hand-drawn sketch of Frankenstein's monster in what appears to be a cave.

New negatives, promotional materials and title cards for the film were being ordered as late as December 1924 in Italian, French, English and Spanish.

[5] Critic Guglielmo Giannini stated that "the authors have missed a great opportunity for making an excellent film [...] because they haven't taken into account the formidable material they had at their disposal or they only used it sporadically.

[10] In 2017, Russ Hunter wrote in the Journal of Italian Cinema & Media Studies that Il mostro di Frankenstein was increasingly identified as Italy's first horror film.

[11] Hunter argued that the supposed nature of the subject mater, based largely on the title is seen to automatically qualify it as a horror film.
