Lost Platoon

Lost Platoon

Lost platoon I thought was a LOST BOYS/NEAR DARK/PLATOON type of movie. The concepts are somewhat there, the actors are not though. The acting is very bad, the production ... there's not much blood for a movie that's suppose to be compared to Platoon. It has a good concept but it could have been done a hundred times better...I found it very boring. Some like some may not. This is one person who did not like it. November 17, 2002

At Last! A Truly Different Vampire Film!

This is a truly different vampire film. The premise is there is a platoon of vampire soldiers that travel from war to war, century to century, tipping the scales of wars in the name of defeating evil. In the movie this platoon is trying to tip the scales for the greater good in the civil war in Nicaragua. They meet up with a reporter who last crossed paths with them when he was a soldier in World War 2. We eventually learn that they had saved his life in that war and continue to keep him alive in this one as they battle the evil dictator and his deranged lady love who are at the heart of the problem. The movie itself is worth watching although by no means what one would call a polished production by anybody's definition of the word. For diehard fans of vampire films this is one that shouldn't be missed. At least it's a completely different story line than the usual worn out themes of the vampire cinema. Vampires using their powers for the good of mankind . . . what a concept! August 2, 2002
