Childlike in his innocence but grotesque in form, Frankenstein's bewildered creature (Cumberbatch) is cast out into a hostile universe by his horror-struck maker (Lee Miller). Meeting with cruelty wherever he goes, the friendless Creature, increasingly desperate and vengeful, determines to track down his creator and strike a terrifying deal.
