Trying to review a film like Frankenstein's Army is an arduous task indeed because half of the events that take place in this film are so hard to make out that it feels as though you have watched half a film. When a group of Russian soldiersTrying to review a film like Frankenstein's Army is an arduous task indeed because half of the events that take place in this film are so hard to make out that it feels as though you have watched half a film. When a group of Russian soldiers are sent to find and capture Dr Frankenstein, an illusive and sociopathic doctor hidden away in a remote village. However when they arrive they find dangerous creatures inhabit the homes and streets of this sleepy place and getting out alive may prove impossible. The found footage phenomenon has been responsible for some excellent movies from last years Chronicle to Cloverfield but it has also created such colossal tripe as The Devil Inside, Quarantine and this piece of ridiculous rubbish. Built from discarded Dead Snow ideas and inoffensive yet poorly thought out historical satire, Frankenstein's Army isn't interesting at all. It's vision of creating a new kind of horror film is one fostered by a director who sadly thinks he is smarter than he actually is and has apparently been living under a rock for several years. Impossible to watch, especially when things actually start happening because the camera is never stationary for enough time for the events and supposed horrors in the film to really sink in as they are glossed over as the characters (and by association, the cameraman) run for their lives in the opposite direction to the action. The creatures they run from are odd looking and badly imagined Dr Who villains. For a horror film its light on the horror, intrigue and excitement as it doubles down on pretentious historical relevance that makes absolutely no sense.… Expand

What a stupid movie. Where to begin?... The first thing I hated about this movie is the fact that it's yet another "found footage" piece of garbage and worst of all it's set in WW2 and somehow it's all in fantastic vivid colours!.. The nextWhat a stupid movie. Where to begin?... The first thing I hated about this movie is the fact that it's yet another "found footage" piece of garbage and worst of all it's set in WW2 and somehow it's all in fantastic vivid colours!.. The next thing that I didn't like in this movie is the stereotypical character who is way too aggressive and out of control. This type of character is what makes these movies excessively bad by making you wish that they would just shut up and go away which distracts you from the movie thereby losing the immersive feeling altogether.
The movie should have ended with everyone either dying or escaping. Instead, at the end, it drags on and on... rather like this review except I know when to stop.… Expand

Vengo por los alegatos del director sobre como los creadores de Resident Evil Village le copiaron el diseño de una de sus criaturas con total descaro, la inspiración es un tanto obvia, tal vez sólo fue una coincidencia, pero una cosa si esVengo por los alegatos del director sobre como los creadores de Resident Evil Village le copiaron el diseño de una de sus criaturas con total descaro, la inspiración es un tanto obvia, tal vez sólo fue una coincidencia, pero una cosa si es 100% seguro, que el director se quiso colgar del rotundo éxito de un videojuego para que volteen a darle atención a su olvidado y mediocre trabajo.… Expand
