Platoon of the Dead

It's 1 from awful because it can't go worst. This movie is a combination of: worst script, worst acting , worst effects and worst image EVER.

Please let me know if there is a movie worst than this one. I will be amazed if this movie makes it higher then 2.

I am sorry for the crew, but I guess they missed their career. TOTALLY I can say that for 5 minutes I was shocked, couldn't believe my eyes. I've seen better movies made by half-brained bored lamers on you tube. Please, anyone, try to add some good comment on this one because I hardly managed to type "good" here.

Within the first couple of minutes, you know what you're going to get. A soldier is yelling on his radio, well that's what I first thought, until in frustration, he moves it away from the side of his head showing it to be an actual mobile phone. He had me fooled with the radio lingo. But the icing on the cake, the phone was upside down. *Head slap*. Yep, this was a sign for things to come. Actually thinking about it, maybe, that's how it's done in the future (in a zombie post-apocalypse), as we do get lasers. Nah, who am I kidding.

"PLATOON OF THE DEAD" is a penniless SOV enterprise with home movie production values, second-hand decors, somebody's raw meat, eyeliner and peanut butter. So any sense of any authenticity goes out the window. At times it can be enjoyable, in an undemanding frame of mind, in what feels like "EVIL DEAD" meets "NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD". That's premise-wise, not directorial execution.

A platoon is ambushed in the woods by a zombie platoon (with pasty looking make-up hiding behind gas masks), but a couple of ragtag soldiers managed to escape, where they hold up in a lodge along with its occupants. I just found once the action becomes stationary in one location, it tends to drag. Little happens, as everyone holds up in a house, simply chatting, or arguing and sometimes wrestling (which looks more like hugging). This only highlights the monotonous developments, poorly staged action (playing soldiers with toy guns smartly turned into lasers) and wooden performances.

This is by far one of the worst "horror" films you will ever watch guaranteed. You know how there are those movies that you know are going to be bad, but you watch it anyway and think "well, that wasn't so bad".... this isn't that movie, trust me. The acting, script, directing, production, and dare I say "special effects" were deplorable and embarrassing. While the plot was interesting, the movie itself was a big let down. The script itself was probably the movies major downfall, that and the fact there was NO climax at any point of the movie. I will never get this wasted time in my life back. Just don't do it, walk away from this one...just walk away.

OK, did they just pick up some uniforms at the Army-Navy store? Because "Private" Dillon (Tyler David) has a gold leaf on his BDUs!

I guess they got the guns at Toys R Us because that is what they looked like.

The Lieutenant (Chris Keown) is in bad need of a shave and a haircut. I mean, come on, shoulder length hair on a soldier!

The only actor with any resume in this film was Ariauna Albright. She is not particularly noteworthy, but did lead me to two new films of interest: Caged Lesbos A-Go-Go (with Lloyd Kaufman as President Obama), and Vaginal Holocaust (Rape, Revenge, Hicks, Vampires and a Man-Eating Vagina!) Can't wait for those!

War film buffs will find this ludicrous. Zombie buffs will find it boring.

The only spoiler that I will give out is that this movie is so bad that it will make you sick.
