Once in a while a movie comes along, that is SOOO bad it's ends up being classic. The sort of movie where you get some friends, some beer and some pizza and throw your empty cans at the TV, while having a great time laughing at the movie mistakes and hammy acting....This is NOT one of those movies. This is the kind of movie that just makes you want to punch the talentless morons who made it. After all they did steal many minutes from your life. I think a smack to their chops is only fair?The "special" effects are non existent, the setting is awful, the story awful, the characters shocking, the acting.....what acting? My 9 year old niece and nephew have put on better plays in my front room! the props and costumes are a total joke and not a funny one. How hard is it to find replica guns that actually look like guns (the props in the movie are either Star Wars toys or scaled down toy rifles! I'm not entirely sure what the $20k budget was spent on, because it sure wasn't props or make-up. (possibly hair products for the soldier??? with back length goth hair!)I think the "film makers", knowing they had no talent at all, tried instead to go the cheap and cheerful 'funny' route. Sadly they didn't try hard enough. Instead they have made a nut-filled turd mockery of movies.Hopefully they won't get their hands on $20k ever again. AVOID AT ALL COSTS!If you want a bad movie that will make you laugh, check out "the room" epic in it's awfulness.

3 soldiers with what looked like kids toy guns are being chased by an army of gun toting zombies.... Superior Lt. Roberts (Chris Keown) was their leader, long hair, rotten teeth and all. Tough Sgt. Butler (Tom Stedham) who keeps getting beat up by slutty Stacy (Michelle Mahoney) who is really one of the bad guys (you can tell when bright lights come from her eyes and mouth and she has tattoos all over her face).I think they were making up the script as they were going along. When I saw this movie I thought that it was the worst I had ever seen but then I saw Rise of the Scarecrows... But that's another story...Guess I need 10 lines... Bad movies are fun to watch though...

I'm a huge zombie movie fan always on the lookout for some unexpected hidden gem. This is not one of those. In fact, it's awful! Set sometime in the near future, the world has apparently been overrun by zombies and there's some kind of war going on between humans (who use some kind of advanced laser gun that dissolves zombies) and an intelligent and evolved "platoon of the dead" zombie army (who use a special laser gun that stuns people). Since this is a low scale, no budget flick shot on a low grade digital camera, the "war" basically amounts to a couple of guys dressed in camouflage running around in the woods. The most zombies ever seen on-screen at a single time is about six and that's at the very end of the film, so no actual threat for humankind is ever adequately established.Inept, cowardly young soldier Private Dillon (Tyler David), obnoxious, sadistic Sergeant Butler (Tom Stedham) and their level-headed superior Lt. Roberts (Chris Keown) are the only three survivors after their squad is ambushed by the zombie soldiers. The three end up at a remote country home and discover three women; Heather (Ariana Albright), mute Jill (Amanda Bounds) and slutty Stacy (Michelle Mahoney), are hiding out there. The ladies behave strangely and secretive, but allow the guys to spend the night in exchange for an escort to a military safe point the next morning. Despite the war angle, it amounts to little more than yet another substandard revisit to NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD territory but with the addition of some silly supernatural elements that don't come into play until the last 20 minutes. Usually a virus or scientific experiment gone awry gets the blame for zombie epidemics in these kind of movies, but here one of the characters claims it happened because of a OUIJA board (!?) Toward the end it's also revealed that someone is a demon and someone else is a savior the zombies want to protect and we quickly watch as something cheap and badly made becomes even worse by becoming something cheap, badly made and needlessly muddled.The acting here is truly abysmal, even for the budget. Of the six main actors, only two of them are passable and one of those two is the mute girl. There seems to be an attempt at dry humored dialogue but none of the cast members are talented enough to deliver it for the desired effect. Not only is the acting and much of dialogue awful, but the film doesn't have nearly enough action (there's way too much talking), the characters do extremely idiotic things throughout (instead of locking a door they just let a zombie come inside and then scurry around the house looking for a hiding place!) and the presentation of the special effects (from the zombie designs to the laughable computer fx) is extremely weak. It's basically just an amateurish waste of time.

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!
