Platoon of the Dead (2009)

Kids messing around with the supernatural inadvertently start a war after playing with a ouija board (!?!?) which opens a door to another world. An evil thing comes through the door and has so much hate that it starts raising the dead. Oooo-kay.

After a zombie attack on their unit, the three surviving men take refuge in a house that they later discover contains three women. So much for being good soliers since they didn't even notice the trap door in the floor which concealed the women.

The house turns out to be where the kids held their seance and the zombies are heading there to find the last remaining kid. The zombies wear gas masks, thus avoiding the need for any make up.

This is an extremely low budget film shot on video with a score that sounds like it was done on a keyboard by someone who watched a lot of 1950s horror and murder mysteries. Unfortunately it is totally inappropriate for this movie.

The military have super clean, new looking military outfits and toy guns. The acting and script are rudimentary at best. This was very painful to watch.
