Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful

A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

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 AlbrightThe Bad:Those guns, really!?Dumb sound effectsSome atrocious actingThings I Learnt From This Movie:Holding mobile phones upside down is standard military procedureI was just waiting for the lead soldier to start singing Freak on a Leash

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.

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!

Some movies can be saved by the judicious display of naked female breasts. This movie isn't one of them. This was an interesting idea poorly executed.There are so many errors it's hard to know where to start, so I'll start at the beginning. The first person we see is a soldier sleeping in the woods. When he wakes we notice he's an unarmed combat engineer. He has a major's gold leaf on his collar. When he meets another soldier, he is addressed as "Private."I understand no one's perfect, but why make such an idiotic mistake so early in the movie?This major/private who seems to be afraid of his own shadow, has jump wings. Not all paratroopers are brainless brutes, but few of them are so wet-behind-the-ears they run from the enemy without taking their weapons.This movie would have to improve significantly to compete with anything by Ed Wood.The music was reasonably well done.
