Spoilers ahead

In the vibrant city of London, an ambitious medical student named Victor Frankenstein (James McAvoy) finds himself captivated by a circus performance. During the show, he steps in to rescue Lorelei (Jessica Brown Findlay), a talented aerialist who has been injured. In the process, Victor also helps a nameless hunchback (Daniel Radcliffe), who serves as a slave to the circus’ cruel ringleader and harbors a secret affection for Lorelei. Recognizing the hunchback’s extensive knowledge of human anatomy, acquired from countless stolen texts, Victor decides to rescue him. After treating the cyst on the hunchback’s back, which is the source of his deformity, Victor crafts a harness to enhance his posture and names him “Igor,” in memory of a roommate who recently passed away.
