  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.

  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.

  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

• Definitely one of the worst movies I've ever seen

  From the low quality camera work, hammy acting, ridiculous props, awful script, ludicrously bad effects, and stupid plot, you might think, "Man, this is a terrible movie." But no, what makes this movie so bad is much, much more than this. What really makes this movie so unbearable is the fact the film makers know that they suck, and revel in it. They make a mockery of the war movie genre, the zombie genre (both of which I am a huge fan of), and a mockery of amateur film makers. The only bright spots of the movie are the end, and some of the lines in the script that actually show the makers put some effort into writing the movie. However, even these well-written parts are lost on the actors, and in the end get delivered with the same derisive, poorly-timed, poorly-emoted effort as the rest of the film. All in all, a thoroughly terrible movie.

  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.
