I'm so disappointed that this was done in found-footage style.

I was hoping for a fun monsterfest. Instead, this is like the movie STALINGRAD, meaning that it is an ordeal where you follow a doomed troop of soldiers, AND it is done in found-footage style, and the only parts with monsters are like a first-person shooter video game or a haunted house, where they come out of doorways and get shot immediately. An hour in and still no Dr. Frankenstein. There is just no more reason for any more of these fake hand-held disasters.

Would have been great filmed normally rather than hand-held too.

Whoever developed the "found-footage" style should be locked in a room with Frankenstein's Army, armed with only a camera. I hate that technique.

Agree with EVERYTHING said here. Some really different/kooky/fun ideas almost ruined by the found footage effect. I had to keep turning it off then going back again, unlike with a coherent, properly filmed movie.
