Without going into too much more detail, suffice it to say that the film was a disappointment to a horror geek who stumbled in for what looked like it could have been a nice, bloody midnight treat.

If the film had played up this type of satire-friendly theme and offered a little humor to balance its initial wartime realism, Frankenstein's Army might have been sufficiently re-watchable to attract a small cult following.

It's a bravura if deeply silly demonstration of what clever moviemakers can do on meager resources.

Basically a Steampunk Power Rangers set in World War II, and who am I to deny the world that?

It takes a bit of a wait to get there, but at the end the icky gore goes through the roof, the monsters rock and the jokes connect.

There are some nice ideas at work in Frankenstein's Army and the monsters look great, but the 'found footage' conceit brings little to proceedings and for a horror movie there just aren't enough scares.

Despite some inspired steampunk creature design, Frankenstein's Army doesn't stand out among the crowded field of found footage horror.

I like the concept of this type of horror film with experiments during WWII but this film is not very well made. The idea of American soldiers playing Soviet soldiers is too much for me. I also didn't like the way it was filmed. Like one viewing is enough.

If you drop a mad scientist necromancer in the middle of a world war then you’d get this… Enough dead souls to turn the grim reaper into a gluttonous. As if that old bag of bones doesn’t reap enough!! The found footage style makes me feel like I’m watching a real life horror video game. And I dig that.

Killer B movie. I've watched around 8 times because it's creatures are so unusual and unsettling. Highly recommend to lovers of great B movies and great non CG special effects.

I absolutely love this movie. Excellent execution of the found footage style. It takes a unique approach to Frankenstein and expands on the idea in a way that almost feels realistic. Love the effects, and I find the characters compelling.
