 Nice little independent Nazi Zombie movie. April 23, 2008
Max Berman (Glasgow, Scotland)
21 out of 25 found this review helpful
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.
 Excellent low budget, old fashioned horror September 22, 2008
R. Griffiths (UK)
10 out of 12 found this review helpful
I enjoyed this. For a first outing for many of the crew it's a great example of what can be achieved when you don't have the big budgets available to more mainstream stuff. The mercenaries are a believable bunch because they are so dissimilar and, unusually, not particularly nice. DC is excellently played by Ray Stevenson who holds it all together superbly. It isn't drenched in gore like so many of these films but spaces out the nastier bits and allows the general unease to build. It's a dark film in general and the fear amongst the soldiers is palpable as they realise what is going on and that getting out is going to prove somewhat difficult. One thing I would warn about is that you need the volume up fairly high to understand what the chaps are saying - and then get completely deafened once they fire their guns! It's not a film to watch if there's a child in the bedroom up above and your remote has died - I was up and down like a yo-yo in case he thought we were being attacked. This is well worth watching if you enjoy low budget supernatural horrors which don't rely wholly on special effects and like your protagonists of the more believable variety.
Atmosphere similar to Death Ship (1980) with sprinklings of The Fog September 28, 2008
D. Wilson (Cornwall)

Although it has a fairly slow start, this low budget horror-chiller gradually finds its feet and ends up delivering some spooky moments without ever taking itself too seriously.
Outpost certainly doesn't bring anything new to the world of cinema, but considering the lack of money they had to work with, there are some neat sequences and the cinematography is often slick and effective.
For anyone who, like the filmmakers, spent much of their teens renting low-budget horror movies on VHS, this should prove to be a decent addition to the genre. As long as you give it time to get going, it should turn out to be quite an enjoyable watch.
 Outpost - Total dross September 23, 2008
Angof (Kernow)
3 out of 6 found this review helpful
I was a little apprehensive after seeing some similarities to the film Deathwatch which was totally dire.
After 30 minutes I was hoping something might happen, after an hour I was flagging and at the end of the film I wondered why I had just wasted the last hour and a half of my life.
In truth the acting was quite good and the cinematography was as well but the story was dull, the pace was non-existant and the ending was disappointing.
If you're after a decent action packed film don't stop here, just move along.
A Great British horror film September 16, 2008
Douglas Newell (Ayrshire, UK)
2 out of 4 found this review helpful
This is a fantastic horror film made on a shoestring budget in Scotland. Set in Eastern Europe the mixed bunch of mercenaries must go to an old Nazi outpost in a wartorn country and retrieve a secret Nazi experiment. Given the low, low 1 million budget this looks much better than it ever should and like many horrors it looks like it could shoot off a new franchise. It also has some top notch actors ... and its great to hear genuine Scottish accents (and swearing) in there too. This movie is much better than most of the over produced american pap the studios are now putting out.
A "Great British" horror movie ... give it a bash.
