"Victor Frankenstein" is a science fiction horror drama film directed by Paul McGuigan and written by Max Landis, based on contemporary adaptations of Mary Shelley's 1818 novel Frankenstein. The story is told from Igor's perspective, we see the troubled young assistant's dark origins, his redemptive friendship with the young medical student Viktor Von Frankenstein, and become eyewitnesses to the emergence of how Frankenstein became the man - and the legend - we know today.
