Title: Frankenstein's Army (2013) Post by: Ted C on July 02, 2017, 07:52:39 PM I caught "Frankenstein's Army" on Amazon Prime. It's a surprisingly effective "found footage" horror movie.

Of course, that trivializes the most important part of the movie: monsters attack! I mean, take a look at this guy: (https://static1.squarespace.com/static/50d144f6e4b05aff8e5b9c8c/t/5265cadae4b07faca3f2de62/1382402778550/screenshot_7_20856.jpg) The whole movie's just like that: lunatic steampunk Nazi castoffs from Wolfenstein. I recommend it for that alone. Title: Re: Frankenstein's Army (2013) Post by: Newt on July 10, 2017, 01:08:38 PM The whole movie's just like that: lunatic steampunk Nazi castoffs from Wolfenstein.

I loved them all, but that's really all the movie had going for it.
I don't get why it was a found footage movie either. I'd think a movie with regular shots and camera work would have helped move things along so much better.

I loved the movie, but it would have worked better in a different narrative format. Still, the monsters were pretty rockin' awesome.
