I did get a Frankenstein feel to the movie by the end of it. I wonder if this movie inspired whoever did Frankenstein Mary Shelley?
Movie was made in 1922. Frankenstein was written in 1814 (or thereabouts).

I suppose Shelley had heard of the Golem myth/legend?

It's only so similar to Frankenstein because James Whale adopted a few scenes of The Golem for his 1931 "definitive" version of Franky.
