Metacritic reviews

The found-footage gimmick mostly comes off as window dressing for what turns out to be yet another mad-scientist-run-amok romp.

Frankenstein’s Army is funny and original, with innovative costumes and set designs. It’s sure to please horror fans.

Pic’s monotone edges towards monotony by the end of the third act, but as no-budget calling-card features go, Frankenstein’s Army remains a grisly cut above.

The 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.

Narrative depth may be in short supply, but the energy, invention and humor are bracing.

More 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.

Frankenstein’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.

At every turn, Frankenstein’s Army exhibits a preference for jolt scares and gore over actual suspense, which never materializes, thanks to a general indifference to plot and minimal interest in character.

The gore was laughable and the script was blood curdling. Shouldn’t it be the other way around?
