Roger Corman is bringing back Frankenstein, not literally, but Frankenstein the death race legend. Originally the character made famous by Jason Statham, followed by Luke Gross, this time Manu Bennett takes over as Frankenstein. Clearly this one takes place in the far future(2050) and America is run by a corporate mogul. Once again a death race will take place as the countries biggest event. I enjoyed the previous two mentioned installments of the Death Race franchise, so hopefully this one is just as entertaining when it comes out next year on January 17, 2017.
Here are the special features included:
