Victor Frankenstein

...Inspector Turpin is the most inventive and entertaining part of Victor Frankenstein...

Crackling with energy and fizzing with ideas, this fresh take on Frankenstein is a thrilling adaptation that reinvigorates a well-worn tale.

This fantastically silly but enjoyable horror reboot is a cavalcade of prancing steampunk silliness and muttonchop-whiskered overacting – and none the worse for that.

...McAvoy, who is the best thing about the film. His performance is truly deranged; an erratic, scenery-chewing throwback to every great mad scientist of classic cinema.
