I watched this only because I got the title confused with a Lon Chaney Jr. film (The Electric Man) but it turned out being worth watching from a DC perspective. I think this poster perfectly encapsulates the problem that the filmmakers, and particularly the marketing people, had. 'Cosmic Frankenstein' is an eye-catching phrase but there's nothing to do with space or anything remotely Frankensteiny, while the blurb down the side all backs up the title with its talk of 'invisible mouths and a 'thing that came alive'. I've got to think that anyone going to see this movie based on the poster would do so expecting a monster. Well guess what; there isn't one. They didn't know what to do with this film and that isn't just a problem with the poster.
