The premise

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

Horror Vault's take

Deep in the dying days of World War II, a squad of Soviet soldiers ventures into the heart of Nazi-occupied Germany and discovers something far worse than the enemy they expected. A clandestine laboratory has been weaponizing the legendary Frankenstein's scientific legacy, churning out monstrous hybrid soldiers unlike anything on any battlefield. Shot in a found-footage style that puts viewers right in the chaos, the film delivers a relentless parade of grotesque, imaginatively designed creatures through darkened corridors and blood-soaked bunkers. Fans of practical-effects horror will find plenty to horrify and impress in equal measure.
