BillyRayJohnson Platoon of the Dead is a super-low budget zombie movie, about a small group of three soldiers, led by an officer who looks like a squat Jack Sparrow, and including a jerk soldier who looks like Richard Dean Anderson combined with Christopher Lloyd. After surviving their squadron being attacked by zombies, they take refuge in an old house occupied by three women.Overall, this movie was fairly dull and forgettable. It isn't inept enough in most categories to laugh at, but just inept enough to not be actually engaging. The monotonous line deliveries and a couple of laser battles were the funniest aspects.The movie features digital visual effects, such as laser fire and disintegrating bodies. In camera special effects include zombies melting into caramel, and a guy impaled by a dull tree branch.For reference, this movie is a slight step ahead of Zombie Night from a technical and artistic standpoint, however, Platoon of the Dead does not get as many unintentional laughs. One star for attempting to create a coherent story, one point for efforts in making the film, and one point for lasers.
Gabriel Alright. First off. This movie is called Platoon of the Dead, that should be a dead giveaway about it's quality. As Bad movies go, it is Obvious that it is intentionally bad, and in that, they get a 5.You want bad that was trying to be good? Watch the 4th Crow movie. That movie enraged me.This Movie make me laugh. Just because it is so terrible, but on purpose.Mind you, You Have to Enjoy very bad movies to like this.If you want another Terrible film Look for Death Factory.This movie is Star wars compared to that, and hey they have the Blasters in this one. Woo, Jedi zombie slayers in cameo!
harisc-1 OK, I love zombie movies. I also don't understand how "movies" like this get their space on IMDb. I am sure i can have my family Christmas movies rated here as well (they are MUCH MORE entertaining than this). Honestly, I saw the first 10 minutes of this movie and it was a torture. OK, about the acting - DUH - at least pretend that you're faking some emotion when you see a guy dying. I would give that soldier an Oscar. Seriously. Why? Just because. It's a crazy world, anyway, so what the hell...I've never seen anything worse in history of movies, maybe that's why...Then the FX. After effects, quickly generated effects that don't even follow the camera movement properly. Lol...Guns are plastic toys shooting laser beams that are not even close to 197? Dr. Who's. And the, the MUSIC! I can't even describe that annoying, almost funny, trumpet-like sound that plays while they are marching through the zombie-infected forest. It is so '40's and it fits in there just like the funny bluegrass tune fits into the original '2nd house on the left'. (that is the only comparison, though - '2nd house on the left' was a good movie). I don't know what else to say. I am sorry that I wasted 4 minutes of my life writing this review.
radubuzoianu 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.
