Overview
Toward the end of World War II, Russian soldiers pushing into eastern Germany stumble across a secret Nazi lab, one that has unearthed and begun experimenting with the journal of one Dr. Victor Frankenstein. The scientists have used the legendary Frankenstein’s work to assemble an army of super-soldiers stitched together from the body parts of their fallen comrades—a desperate Hitler’s last ghastly ploy to escape defeat

Viewing Notes
My third film of the Stanley Film Festival and a bloody good time! The creatures and real FX make up for a lot of the faults of this film, primarily the found footage aspect, which I felt was unneeded and burdensome. They could have shot it conventionally and really conveyed the same thing, only better.
Still, the dizzying array of creatures made up for the shortcomings and really made the film enjoyable for me. I left thinking how much I’d love to have 1/6 scale figures of all the zombots. Definitely worth a watch on DVD or streaming.
