Victor Frankenstein (2015) is a movie I recently watched on Hulu. The storyline follows a young man named Igor in the circus who is admired by a scientist who cures him of his hunchback and takes him as help for his science experiments. Due to a troubled past the scientist becomes obsessed with creating life regardless of the depths he needs to pursue to make it happen. While Igor would prefer to not sink to those levels he feels compelled to help to not seem ungrateful.
This movie is directed by Paul McGuigan (Lucky Number Slevin) and stars Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter), James McAvoy (Split), Jessica Brown Findlay (Brave New World), Andrew Scott (Spectre) and Daniel Mays (Rogue One: A Star Wars Story).
The storyline for this is actually pretty entertaining and has a great look and feel. This reminded me a little of Penny Deadful (Seasons 1 - 3). The cast was really good as were the sets, props, attire and makeup. The circus scene opening was very well done, the dinner and date scenes were hilarious and the monkey at the school was absolutely awesome. The ending was perfectly done and sets up nicely for a sequel (that will never come).
Overall this isn't perfect but it is entertaining and worth a watch. I would score this a 6.5/10 and strongly recommend it.
