      What to Know

      Critics Consensus

      With an animation style that apes Tim Burton, and a slew of cultural references that aren't clear enough to reach the crowds, Igor's patched together antics make it hard to see who the film is trying to please.

      Kaida M This is one of my all time favorite movies, my husband and I watch it yearly at a minimum! I looked it up earlier and was STUNNED but how awful the reviews are!! Seriously, give it a chance. Also the comments saying it's a Burton rip off, I have NO clue where those are coming from because it's definitely not. If anything is was maybe inspired by the feel of Burton, but it isn't anywhere near close enough to say it "apes" the style. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/19/24 Full Review Mediocre S This movie was a banger, but that one evil guy looked like a dried-up banger. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/14/24 Full Review John L Absolute Banger of a movie Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/10/23 Full Review Kim R This is sich an underrated movie. Every time i watch it i find something else to laugh at. It's a wonderful witty movie. That is valueable in teaching younger people a lot of values and right and wrong. The word play and situations are perfectly put together. One of my all time favourites!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/05/23 Full Review Stephen C So humorous in 01 hour: and 26 minutes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Cyrus K i think this reviewer on Google puts it best (Alexandra harenberg): is it a masterpiece? i wouldn't go as far as to call it that. but is it a fun and creative film? you bet. if you enjoy universal horror films, steampunk, and some really fun comedy, this is the film for you.

Nov 8, 2019 Full Review Brian Orndorf BrianOrndorf.com Igor has charm but misses a grand opportunity to evoke the world of James Whale when it would rather crib blatantly from Tim Burton. Rated: C- Jun 2, 2010 Full Review James White SFX Magazine There's a lurking feeling that somewhere along the production line, nervous studio types ordered changes to make the movie more commercial.
