Toward the end of WWII, Russian soldiers break into the caves of a secret Nazi laboratory where insane experiments are performed in order to give Hitler total victory.
Frankenstein's Army starts as a found-footage film with handheld fragments in various formats (filled with scratches and scorch marks) made by a Russian film student at the orders of Stalin. Gradually this WWII variation on The Blair Witch Project changes into a bloody, very filthy ‘Ten Little Niggers’ pastiche, in which one Iron-Curtain-English-speaking soldier after the other meets a sticky end.
Richard Raaphorst worked for over ten years on his Nazi zombie project, initially under the title 'Worst Case Scenario'. Raaphorst wrote the script with Chris W. Mitchell (Süskind) and Miguel Tejada-Flores (Beyond Re-Animator). For the cast, he managed to persuade Karel Roden (Hellboy) and Alexander Mercury (The Golden Compass), among others.
