Frankenstein's Army - a new release.
I actually made it all the way through this pointless bloody mayhem just because I broke it up into 2 parts. The first half literally was so boring and badly acted and written it caused me to fall asleep. The second half is a smorgasbord of gore, blood, body parts, and half human half machine creations that the good doctor is creating for no apparent reason other than Adolf told him to. The Russians are the liberators of the cyborg lab, and the shaky cam camera man is offering the mad scientist asylum in Russia if he wants to switch sides before the Red Army gets there and bombs the lab into the ground.
The movie had the visual imagery of a violent video game at times, including the cyborgs and lab atmosphere, so I have to give the special effects crew some credit for that I guess. It would have helped a lot if the mad doctor had some reason to create all these monstrosities other than just for a good time, though. Overall, it's a waste of a movie when this much thought is put into the special effects, and so little thought is put into the script and actors parts.
What this movie really looks like is a Frankenstein's Nazi haunted house of cyborg horrors or something. Some of the creations would scare the crap out of someone at a haunted house attraction. On that level it succeeds, but on a movie level it pretty much fails miserably.
