Phew, thank God…another “found footage” movie. I was beginning to worry.
Starts off decently actually, as a WWII movie from the perspective of some Russian soldiers.
It builds up decently as well, with some signs of what’s to come.
Finally they run into the monstrous creations, which seem pretty small in number for an army. But they are rather deadly.
After that it’s grossness, pauses, and intermittent poorly-filmed battles with often-silly monstrosities until a quick plot twist explaining the camera’s “necessity”.
It switches shortly thereafter to gross Dr. Frankenstein disgustingness (he’s not nearly as interesting as ‘Day Of The Dead”s version) as the unbelievable and fairly thin plot stretches to the end.
I admit, it was interesting enough (at least in potential/curiosity) to make me actually WANT to watch ’til Frankenstein appeared. But after that it was just gross and fairly pointless, with several dialogue mistakes that I don’t believe were intentional, but which I HOPE the director left in because he didn’t care anymore either.
Grade: D
