I already approve director Richard Raaphorst for taking a leap with a Frankenstein themed film because let’s face it, the zombie craze is taking over the world and the horror scene needs something more refreshing. I won’t straight out say Frankentsein’s Army will be a spectacular film because ratings on IMDB are already poor, but there is no denying the trailers draw you in. Just look how cool the monsters look in this new trailer, which I find are indeed inspired from Wolfenstein. Like what other franchise had Nazi’s create an army of bad ass mutant soldiers with hands as weapons? Wolfenstein buddy!
If only Frankenstein’s Army was completely shot in first-person view, then I believe this could be the official Wolfenstein movie.
Frankenstein’s Army will have a limited US theatrical run on July 26th, and the DVD drops on September 30th in the UK.
Frankenstein’s Army Synopsis
In the waning days of World War II, a battalion of Russian soldiers find themselves lost in enemy territory. Stumbling upon a village decimated by an unseen terror, they discover that a mad scientist (Hellboy’s Karel Roden) conducts experiments to fuse flesh and steel, creating an unstoppable army of undead soldiers. Leaderless and faced with dissention amongst their dwindling ranks, they must find the courage to face down an altogether new menace — or die trying.
