Igor and Victor attempts to follow Sherlock and Watson footsteps

There have been so many versions and retellings of the “Frankenstein” story. This year’s Victor Frankenstein movie may have sprung from Mary Shelley story but it seems more an homage to Mel Brooks’ 1974 film Young Frankenstein where the doctor now has his faithful assistant “Igor” by his side.

Igor the hunchback, of course, is played by comedian Marty Feldman, best known for his big bug-eyed look. It also borrows from the 1931 Frankenstein with Boris Karloff playing the monster with his flat head and screws by his neck.
