What people are saying
- Dr Nostromoβ 6/10
57/100 Every so often, it behooves someone to, yet again, re-tell the story of Frankenstein. This one is predominately centered around the tortured psyche of Victor Frankenstein and his rescued, and thereby, loyal assistant and friend, Igor, giving Daniel Radcliffe and James McAvoy a vehicle to show off their talents, which they do in an outstanding fashion. In fact, everyone's performance was excellent. The creation of the monsters was secondary to this rendition of the story but the characters demand for your attention makes it quite compelling. -- DrNostromo.com
