Frankenstein’s Army

(update: August 3rd 2013) the film review can be found here. If you came here first read through article then link back to review here- EvS)

Here is a film I have been eagerly following since 2006 (sort of) with the teaser trailer that was released in its early incarnation "Worst Case Scenario", directed by Richard Raaphorst. Due to financial issues the plug was pulled, and the idea shelved......




.....But recently it has resurrected in the form or "Frankenstein's Army"and is coming to Rotterdam International Film Festival on January 26th 2013. The film stars Karel Roden who some will recognize from Hellboy or The Borne Supremacy. The Synopsis from IMDB is this:

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.




 So you can bet that we creeps in North America and our fiend friends around the globe will be seeing it soon. In the mean time here is some stills and trailers.

  1. That's not a release date. It's a World Premiere date. HUGE difference.

    I didn't say it was a release date. Just first public screening. Not sure of world wide "release date".
