Igor is about, well, Igor! After his master, Dr. Glickenstein (John Cleese) dies in an explosion due to inserting a high-wattage light bulb, Igor (John Cusack) along with his friends, Brain (Sean Hayes) and Scamper (Steve Buscemi), create a living being for their kingdom's annual evil science fair/competition in hopes for Igor become the evilest scientist hunchback in all of Malaria. 

This movie takes the cliche hunchback/minion, as well as the mad scientist trope, that was originally adopted from the 1931 Frankenstein movie that wasn't featured in Mary Shelley's 1818 novel. However, I do enjoy the twist this movie takes despite the mostly negative reviews this movie has accumulated.
