Leave your thoughts about Frankenstein's Army.
| AV ClubIgnatiy VishnevetskyFrankenstein’s Army is a ludicrous World War II horror flick bogged down by its found-footage gimmick, which is compromised and contradicted so often that it becomes a distraction. |
| The ListHenry NorthmoreYou've seen found footage horror and Nazi zombies before, but Frankenstein's Army mashes them together in a way that breathes new life into tired genre conventions. |
| New York TimesAndy WebsterNarrative depth may be in short supply, but the energy, invention and humor are bracing. |
| Village VoiceRob StaegerThe film itself works best once most of the soldiers have been dispatched—too often in the first half, the constant running and discharging of firearms proves too similar to watching a first-person-shooter video game. |
| New York PostV.A. MusettoFrankenstein’s Army is funny and original, with innovative costumes and set designs. It’s sure to please horror fans. |
| We Got This CoveredMatt DonatoWhile our story leaves much to be desired, the fantastical creature work in Frankenstein's Army is too creatively ingenious to ignore, making these steampunk undead monstrosities worth the watch alone. |
| Cinema CrazedFelix Vasquez Jr.Just feels like great potential was wasted on a movie interested in gore and shock value over atmosphere and genuine terror. |
| Grolsch Film WorksAnton Bitela 'mad scientist' movie made with outsized love that no reasonable viewer will be able too leave unrequited, all stitched together with political satire that cynically paints Frankenstein's freakish army as the final solution to the madness of war. |
| PopMattersBill GibronAs a fright flick it more or less fails. But as an example of how to make genuinely creepy monsters in this new, CG heavy age, it's a masterwork. |
| The Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeMore a filmed haunted house than a movie, the picture is in love with the cobbled-together monsters on offer and will engender similar emotions in many horror buffs. |
