I wish it could have given us some more back story regarding the doctor. He was explaining some things to us before the bombs dropped. I take it he was a grandson or great-grandson of Dr. Frankenstein. If I recall, in the Frankenstein mythos, there was one relative that tried to revive his ancestor's work to no avail so he had to give it up because his son was in danger. I wonder if the film makers of this film were skipping some generations to one person who wanted to take the experiments further.

I was thinking the same as I was watching this movie that it definitely would've benefited a lot from a bigger budget. If it was shot with the still camera, and not first person point of view it would've benefited a lot more too. Plus it would've definitely benefited much more by the darker color palette. They've used the greenish hue tone throughout the whole movie. It was ok in the beginning, but when they started showing the creatures, it needed a darker tone. The color just seemed too bland and drab, could've used a little more saturation. And lastly, I don't believe they couldn't afford to have a music score, but I'm not sure if it would've worked well with this documentary style storytelling, but had it been the other way, the score would've helped tremendously. Well, that's a coulda, shoulda, and woulda for ya there. :)
