James McAvoy's Frankenstein and Daniel Radcliffe's Igor play things to the hilt in this new take on Mary Shelley's legendary tale.
Transplanted to mid-19th-century London, the story features enjoyably ripe performances from the stars, as the maniacal scientist obsessed with creating life and his (initially) hunchbacked assistant.
