James McAvoy and Daniel Radcliffe star in this sci-fi horror based on the contemporary adaptations of the 1818 novel by Mary Shelley. Told from the perspective of Igor Strausman (Radcliffe), young apprentice of the brilliant but troubled scientist Victor Frankenstein (McAvoy), the story follows the journey the pair take as they embark on one of the greatest scientific experiments ever known: creating life out of death.
