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.
