Victor Frankenstein

Victor Frankenstein (2015) is a British-American sci-fi thriller you can watch online on iFILM. Director Paul McGuigan retells the classic monster story through the eyes of Igor — played by Daniel Radcliffe — rather than the obsessive scientist himself. James McAvoy brings a manic, brilliant energy to Frankenstein that veers between genius and recklessness.

Igor starts the film as a circus freak, dismissed and invisible. Victor sees something no one else does: a gifted anatomist hiding in a hunched, broken body. He plucks Igor from the sawdust and pulls him into experiments that push further than science should go. Andrew Scott plays Inspector Turkel, who believes this particular line of research must be shut down before it goes catastrophically wrong. Jessica Brown Findlay and Charles Dance round out the cast.

The screenplay by Max Landis reframes Mary Shelley's novel as a story about ambition, loyalty and what it costs to follow a brilliant man into the dark. Stream Victor Frankenstein (2015) in good quality on iFILM.
