Nazi horror or snore?,
By
This review is from: Outpost (DVD)
I was interested in the Nazi Bell technology and my research led to this this movie. While I understand that Outpost has nothing really to do with Die Glocke, it still did not live up to my expectations.In comparison with Dead Snow or Deathwatch, in the category of war-horror, I didn't think Outpost did a very good job at anything. The suspense was pretty feeble and for the most part Outpost used gore to horrify. Not even good gore, or humorous gore. Which means that it is hard to tell if Outpost can be taken seriously, it certainly isn't funny. The over all idea is interesting, and I think with a more historical background and bigger budget outpost could be a very good movie, but then it wouldn't be Outpost. I suggest that you don't waste your time trying to watch this movie unless you are keenly interested in weak Nazi super-science. Don't even bother to watch it for the thriller aspect, it might as well be on in the background while you do something else.

Nice little independent Nazi Zombie movie.,
By Max Berman - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Outpost (DVD)
If you're tired of gigantic hollywood horrors with their formulaic plots and calculated frights, you might want to try this little movie. Set in Eastern Europe, shot in Scotland, starring Ray Stevenson and costing a little over £1 million, you might be pleasantly surprised at the quality of this movie. Genuine tension is offset with sparing gore. Great gun battles and some Nazi voodoo technology thrown in for good measure make this micro-budget effort well worth watching. There are some great characters from all over the world dying in some really creative ways and some pretty nasty baddies lurking in a pretty scary environment.Why not bypass the hollywood dross and see how a bunch of enthusiastic Scottish film-makers do things. Great fun stuff. 34 of 35 people found the following review helpful

Excellent British horror film.,
By T. M Rogers "tommy1138" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Outpost (DVD)
If you are a fan of horror movies like Dog Soldiers, The Keep or (the original) The Fog, you will definately dig Outpost. Great cast, wicked "gothic" look and some of the best Nazi Zombies ever put on film. The acting is solid as are the sets and cinematography. Another cool thing is that this independent movie is shot in the 2:35 aspect ratio, which is normally reserved for epic Hollywood productions. The color scheme is that of a Nine Inch Nails video and it really gives certain scenes a nightmarish, otherwordly feel. As a movie snob, I am VERY surprised how much I enjoyed Outpost and I hate 90% of the horror films I see these days. This reminds me of early John Carpenter (Halloween, The Fog, The Thing) as the horror is implied more often than shown (don't worry, there are a few brutal killings as well). Blows away the cult 70's film ShockWaves (also about experimental Nazi Zombies). I hope this movie gets a cult following and a sequel is made.

Diamond in the Rough,
By Christopher - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Outpost (DVD)
Outpost is great little film - I bought it on a whim, as the story synopsis was interesting to me. I was consistently surprised at what a solid and enjoyable film it truly is - well written, well shot, and well acted. The characters are compelling, and avoid the narrow, one-dimensional macho posturing that most lazy filmmakers believe characterizes military life. At the same time, it effectively captures the consequences of that violent profession on the people that choose to make it their life's work. The horror element is very effective, making maximum use of the setting to achieve some real scares - and I would particularly commend the make up and costuming, which are very effective and essentially seamless (never apparent even though they are depicting some vivid subject matter). The core story is an interesting and unique twist on a subject other films have touched on - and the ending, while not exactly unexpected, is effectively delivered. I was prepared for a made-for-SciFi Channel kind of flick, and can only say that it is head and shoulders above that level - a wonderful example of what talented filmmakers can do with fixed resources as long as they have a true passion for the story they're telling. It comes through here. Give it a look, it's well worth your time.
