Army of Frankensteins

Army of Frankensteins is a 2013 American science fiction horror film written and directed by Ryan Bellgardt. The story follows Alan Jones, a recently unemployed grocery store worker. After a failed attempt to propose to his coworker Ashley, he is kidnapped by a child genius named Igor and taken to the warehouse of Dr. Tanner Finski. There, one of Alan’s eyeballs is removed and placed into a Frankenstein monster. Alan accidentally activates the process, bringing the monster to life. A lightning bolt overloads the system, creating an interdimensional portal that spawns multiple copies of the monster and transports everyone to 1865, in the middle of an American Civil War battle.

The Frankensteins attack both Confederate and Union soldiers. Alan is rescued by Corporal Solomon Jones, who he learns is his great-great-great grandfather. In the infirmary, Alan finds the dying Dr. Finski and begins seeing visions through the original Frankenstein’s eyes. Behind Confederate lines, Lt. Swanson takes Igor’s injector and shows it to Capt. Walton, who uses it to turn a cat into a giant beast. Dr. Finski tells Alan they must kill the original Frankenstein to reopen the portal. Alan, Igor, Solomon, and a medic named Virginia—Solomon’s girlfriend—track the monsters to another Union camp. During the fight, Virginia is carried off in a hot air balloon by the original Frankenstein. She explains her life as a slave and why they are fighting, and the monster agrees to help the Union. Their balloon is shot down by Confederates, and they are captured. On the way back, Solomon loses his left forearm to the cat beast.

At the Confederate camp, Walton orders Swanson to inject himself with regeneration liquid, turning him into a larger, stronger Confederate monster. Walton releases them to spread fear. Virginia returns to the Union camp with all the Frankensteins, convincing the soldiers they are allies. In the ensuing battle, the Union is victorious with help from the Frankensteins and a disintegration ray Igor builds to replace Solomon’s arm. As the monsters surround Walton and the Confederate monster, Virginia’s sister Maggie stabs the original Frankenstein in revenge for killing her boyfriend. The other Frankensteins fall in pain, and the Confederate monster disables Solomon’s ray gun and kills Maggie before escaping.
