Childlike in his innocence but grotesque in form, Frankenstein’s bewildered creature is cast out into a hostile universe by his horror-struck maker.

Meeting with cruelty wherever he goes, the increasingly desperate and vengeful Creature determines to track down his creator and strike a terrifying deal.

Directed by Academy Award-winner Danny Boyle, featuring Benedict Cumberbatch as the creature and Jonny Lee Miller as Victor Frankenstein.

Directed by Charlie McDowell
NR; 90 minutes

“Attentive to characterful details of accent and posture, [Glenn] Close plays this tender-tough old bird beautifully, resisting twinkly sentimentality while maintaining a palpably affectionate rapport with [Emily] Matthews.” — Guy Lodge, Variety
