Platoon of the Dead at time of writing presently has an astonishingly low 1.8 rating. If it had more ratings it would be finding itself in the IMDB bottom 100 movies, but it's obscurity is saving it from that fate.
It tells the story of three soldiers who seek refuge in a house hiding from an undead army.
Zombies? Yes, but not traditional. These can speak, melt, use weapons and are just seven shades of terrible really.
The film is incredibly poorly made, from the uniforms to the embarassing laser guns, the sound effects and everything inbetween. For the most part it was a chore to watch.
The cast are an odd bunch, bad put bareable and a host of weird lookalikes. One guy is the spitting image of Henry Rollins, a girl who looks just like Jennifer Tilly and the lead soldier resembles Korns Jonathan Davis.
It has sprinklings of entertainment and I don't believe it deserves the terrible rating. Make no mistake though this is still pretty dire and a demonstration of what not to do when making a movie.
The Good:
Ariauna Albright
The Bad:
Those guns, really!?
Dumb sound effects
Some atrocious acting
Things I Learnt From This Movie:
Holding mobile phones upside down is standard military procedure
I was just waiting for the lead soldier to start singing Freak on a Leash
