Frankenstein's Army (2013) Review by slashingthrough from Netherlands
It took quite a while for Richard Raaphorst to have his first featurelength film canned but now we can all enjoy "Frankenstein's Army",which debuted at the International Film Festival Rotterdam. The filmhad its world premiere at a sold out screening of the InternationalRotterdam Film Festival. And at long last the audience had the chanceto have a look at Raaphorst's creation(s) in full splendour. I think alot of horror fans have been looking forward to the debut of"Frankenstein's Army"; we've been teased by some excellent trailers ofhis "Worst Case Scenario" and when that project got stuck indevelopment hell, artwork and teasers for his new film surfaced.
In "Frankenstein's Army" everything's filmed from a first personperspective, that person being the soldier Sergei, who's part of aRussian squad that is slowly moving further in Germany. He has the taskto document the march of Mother Russia into Germany. So yes, you'veread it right: this is a found footage film. When the squadron goesfurther into the countryside some weird skeletons and soldiers arefound. When they pick up a radio signal from some comrades the trailleads them to a church / factory and then shits starts to hit thepropeller.
The first half builds up slowly towards the second. Starting off withquite some shots of running and some occasional shooting, it gets moreinteresting when they come up a village where things don't seem right.The part where they start to encounter the first zombots (as Richardhas named his creations) almost reminded me of a mix of the video game"Return to Castle Wolfenstein" and more steampunkish elements. Zombotssuddenly appear and create havoc amongst the Russians. The second halfsteps down a bit and offers a better look at Raaphorst's monsters. Theencounter of Viktor -the creator of the monstrous nazi soldiers-provides the director to go all out with special effects in the'laboratory'. This is a place where a gorehound's heart starts beatingfaster: there are some geeky references, all the monsters and goryeffects are real (so almost no computer effects) and that choice paysoff. The effects feel real, the zombots are brought to life in aweirdly, wicked way, most of them wearing working mechanical featuresthat gives each of them a unique look.
Raaphorst reaps I was a bit thrown off because of this film beinganother one in the 'found footage' style. Even though it doesn't bringnothing new to this way of drawing the audience into the film, it iswell done: you know you don't get these lamesomething-was-there-and-now-there-isn't kind of things but you will betreated with some in-your-face gore and great zombots. Also it was hardto get over the accents used by the actors throughout the film, that isalways a hard choice to make. Raaphorst his strength is his vision,visuals and details. I expected the film to be a bit more sinister anddark because of the teasers but in the feature itself there is morefocus on gore than tension. Luckily he knows his gore and all theeffects are really well done. It's great to see his sketches come aliveon the big screen and they work well in all their bizarre glory.
I really hope this film will give Richard Raaphorst a chance to createanother feature film in which he can explore more of his directionalskills outside the found footage genre and is able to provide usanother look in his bizarre, creative mind.
