Should you see it? It has very minor camp value.
“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds."

The Lost Platoon (1991)
How bad is it? It's a blend of two genres that fails at both.
Should you see it? It has very minor camp value.
This film has an interesting premise, that a group of vampires are fighting in the army continuously, as they cannot be killed, so an aging commander detects them, unchanged, from a previous war. You don't get to see the fangs come out for the first half of the film. There's a lot of hyperkinetic camera work, but it doesn't make up for a script that goes nowhere. The final action scene is wild, but the overacting and underacting that leads up to it undermine the film.
