Outpost Reviews and Ratings

    I have to say this film exceeded my expectations. What is it about mixing horror and Nazis? I suppose Nazis are the ultimate bad guys. Although nothing could be ever as scary as what they did in real live. But back to the film. A team of mercenaries head off with a scientist to e...( read more)xplore an old SS bunker. I won't give away what they are looking for. But they soon find that they are not alone. You get a real claustrophobic experience once in the bunker. Also when the team are above the bunker surrounded by the Nazis, the lighting that is used I found to be really scary .What also stands out is the minimal use of special FX. Obviously budget restrains played a part in this. But it's refreshing to see a film concentrate on acting rather than cheap gore tricks trying to shock. I would say this is a ghost film. Though you never really know if the phantom Nazi soldiers are ghosts or zombies? They act like both. The stand out character for pure creepiness is the SS General. As seems to be the trend at the moment the ending is very grim. Which I thought it didn't call for. Apart from this I cant say a bad thing about this film. See it!

    I gave this another look this evening after picking it up cheap, and it still holds up very well.

    A nicely paced horror film, slowly builds the creep factor as a group of mercenaries enter an old Nazi bunker and run afoul of an abandoned science project from WWII.

    This works we...( read more)ll because you never really see a whole lot of the Nazis, they're mostly in shadow and more intimidating because all you really see is the helmet and the slightly distorted features, it's spooky stuff.

    While this doesn't show you anything Earth-shatteringly new, it hits all the right notes in the lean 90-something minute running time.

    Recommended.

    I really quite enjoyed this supernatural thriller. It difinately was a creepy film with some gross/gore bits and a pretty decent plot. However, the ending was dissappointing. Other than that, difinately one to watch!
  • September 20, 2009
    OOOOHH Suprisingly creepy really quite creep me out !
    this is a good thriller/ horror that spooks and creeps you out and not as predictable as you would have thought! although the characters are not so conviincing this is a good horror to watch especially if you want a few spook...( read more)s and a not so bad storyline!
    its about a group of mercenaries who visit a bunker that turns out to have some spooky hidden background and what ment to be a 48hr operation turns into a 72 hr of hell and blood!
    really worth a watch!!

    Low Buget and more scary than gore which was good for a change. Worth looking for.

    OutPost is a good war type horror movie that is nearly as good as Dog Soldiers. It definately in the vein of that type of horror but it isn't werewolves in this one, nope it's Zombies. But these Zombies aren't just zombies but Nazi Zombies and not the flesh eating kind either, th...( read more)ese are the scary murderous kind and they do have some nasty ways of dispatching someone. I rented this one keeping an open mind cause this wasn't a gut muncher kind of Zombie movie but a killer one. I must say I did enjoy it. Ok the gore and the major action scenes don't start until 40mins into the film but the director does a good job of building the tension about what it about to happen. Thing was that I didn't find this boring and got to like some of the characters as they weren't picked off so early as to not really care about them. Especially DC who is played well by Ray Stevenson who was recently in Punisher: Warzone in which he too plays a strong male lead. I did feel sorry for some of the team towards the end as I did want them to win the day against the bloodthirsty murderous undead. If you go into this just going by the cover that says Gory as hell, you may be disappointed cause it's not wall to wall gore and blood but there are some very graphic scenes of torture and violence bu the Nazis that did make me wince once or twice. If you are after a Nazi zombie film with wall to wall blood and guts see Dead Snow but if you want a good character based horror then check out OutPost.

  • June 17, 2009
    Nazis=terror whether dead or alive or in another time warp. I was sufficeintly scared until half-way through when things got cheesy and the finale let me down. However, it is worth watching for the suspense.
  • May 25, 2009
    Shallow but really fun and well directed suspense!
  • May 18, 2009
    Despite what most of Flixster thinks i actually liked this film. Yes the acting was rusty and it takes time to start but i found it overall enjoyable to watch.

    A band of mercenaries hired by a secretive business man venture into no-mans land of eastern Europe to secure an old Nazi bunker. Problenm is...a troop of 4-D Nazi zombie/ghost stormtroopers are still waging there own private war.
    In this age of remakes,sequels,and just stupi...( read more)d tripe (read 'Days of Darkness'),this is quite refreashing. Sure...nazi zombies have been done before (Shockwaves,Oasis of the Zombies)-but this one is quite creepy and lotsa fun.

    A wealthy businessman hires a crack team of seasoned soldiers to accompany him on a perilous journey into no man's land, only to come face to face with an otherworldly enemy more vicious and powerful than any mortal foe. It was supposed to be an easy, forty-eight hour mission: Mo...( read more)ve in, scope out an abandoned military bunker, and move out. Once in the bunker, however, the fearless mercenaries begin to quake in their boots after happening across the remnants of some gruesome World War II experiments carried out by Nazi soldiers on their own men. Sifting through the carnage, the men are horrified to discover that one of the unfortunate test subjects is still clinging to life. Now, as bombs continue to burst above ground, a malevolent force emerges from the darkness below. Suddenly left with nowhere to run, the soldiers quickly realize that what appeared to be a by-the-books bodyguard mission has suddenly devolved into a bloody battle for survival. Why has their secretive host really brought them to this God-forsaken outpost, and is there any way of stopping the murderous force that hunts them from the dense shadows underground? ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

    Freaky, but I was expecting something more than what the 'enemy' turned out to be.

  • February 17, 2009
    4/10. A good idea for a story but the movie was weak for a horror/ action. I liked the whole super Nazi idea but it didn't promise what it said on the tin. Worth a watch but dont expect too much.
  • January 17, 2009
    60 yr old bunker + dead (immortal) nazi's = deadpost =/
  • January 10, 2009
    No thankyou - Not interested.
  • December 31, 2008
    Stars Ray Stevenson from HBO's Rome TV show. It's more than just your average spooky horror flick with Nazi ghosts. The reference to Einstein's unified field theory adds an interesting historical science fiction element which will be appreciated by anyone who's followed the theor...( read more)ies of Einstein and Tesla.
  • December 10, 2008
    I'm not a huge fan of war movies, but i kind of liked this one. The ending was a surprise to me.
  • November 21, 2008
    With a plot kinda like 'The Bunker' this is not too bad, It starts of well and does carry on well but as things start to reveal themselves it does get abit silly, with little plot holes here and there.
    The soldiers in the film are the usual mixed bag of cliches and predictable ty...( read more)pes that range from all corners of the globe with a token black man just in case haha
    One by one they bite the dust in predictable ways but its still quite cool, the Nazi plot makes things interesting and eerie really probably cos we know they did get up to things like this during the war.

    To be honest it is very silly and the ending does spoil the ghost aspect of the film as it gets abit 'Aliens' almost in the final showdown, buts its still quite spooky.
  • November 18, 2008
    Pretty weird but worth a watch.
  • November 17, 2008
    A pretty good supernatural mixed sci-fi thriller.... and usually anything with Nazi's in it give me a subtle sense of the creeps.

    Anyways, its moves along fast enough though it isn't until you are halfway through the movie then you learn what the mercenaries are up against... an...( read more)d the deep s*** that they got themselves into.


    This is as far as it can get from Hollywood, and its not that bad... I enjoyed it. Nothing too fancy, just a creepy tale and a little noir filmmaking.
  • October 29, 2008
    Wasn't expecting much due to the low budget, however I was badly mistaken... it was a tense and gripping movie... highly recommend anyone who likes the war / horror genre
  • October 26, 2008
    Acting wasn't too bad. Plot is somewhat interesting, but ultimately, I felt a bit cheesed out by the end. It takes an hour leading up to any action whatsoever, and then spends 20 minutes on the end of the movie, so you feel a bit let down. And did they really have to leave it ope...( read more)n for a sequel? Please, forgettaboutit.
  • October 4, 2008
    Nazi's and Zombies. A good combo that gives you good scares but the ending lets you down some.
  • October 1, 2008
    This is a film that could have been much better, as soon as the "machine" was in the picture i lost all interest. But saying that it was a really well made, acted and visual film, shame about the crappy story
  • September 22, 2008
    Horror movie with political statements added in that add nothing to the movie. Can be good in some scenes But I think it struggles to make a movie around a poor idea. How did they know about the nazi experament if nobody gets out of the bunker? A bunch of mercenary misfits that ...( read more)seem amature sent in for a small fee with a mission they seem to no nothing about. Good for horror but a storyline with more holes in it than a minefield.
  • September 16, 2008
    The hackneyed (un)dead soldiers setup of 'The Supernaturals' and (especially) 'Shock Waves', given new life via a fairly ingenious quantum-physics twist. Thin on characterization, and a little slow to get going, but atmospheric and compelling once it does. Another NWOBHM keeper.
  • September 4, 2008
    Think Dog Soldiers meets Silent Hill, could of had more action but was still creepy
  • August 22, 2008
    This is of one of my favourite horror of all this times....better watch it

    Un grupo de mercenarios, en algún país de Europa del este, son contratados por un tipo para que les lleve hasta un búnker abandonado con el fin de encontrar algo. Pero nada más llegar allí, encuentran que el búnker no está abandonado del todo y que hay quienes les atacan desde el...( read more) exterior.

    Un búnker nazi, abandonado desde la IIª Guerra Mundial y donde se realizaban temibles experimentos para intentar conseguir al soldado perfecto, inmortal, que viaje entre planos y además, con un puntito sádico. Todo eso se consigue, aunque la película, que dura 86 minutos, se hace bastante lenta y sin nada que ofrecer hasta el minuto 50 aproximadamente, donde parece que empiezan a esclarecerse las cosas, o a dar miedo (he dicho que parece, porque luego es media hora con un pelín más de muertes, pero igual que el resto).

    Bastante floja, con carátula que engaña (yo no vi zombies deformes por ningún lado, para pena mía) y que se puede saltar tranquilamente y ver cualquier otra cosa. Eso sí, no es mala con avaricia, solo levemente. Además, parece ser medio europea (húngara, por el audio incluido), así que hay que valorar el esfuerzo de un cine con bastante poco presupuesto.

    Having read and interview in Empire with the makers of Outpost it sounded like one of the best horror movies to come out in years. When watching it you are left disappointed for sure, although the zombies/soldiers are creepy they have very little screen time and the buildup is f...( read more)ar too long. In the end a middle of the road horror flick.
  • July 4, 2008
    A surprisingly effective chiller. Five mercenaries are hired to escort a mysterious scientist through an unnamed eastern European warzone to inspect an apparently long-abandoned WWII bunker. For a movie that went straight to video, this tightly scrip...(read more) ted and directe...( read more)d movie is miles better than most of the mainstream chillers I have seen in the last few months. The decaying underground labyrinth is lovingly lighted and lensed resulting in a superior, atmospheric shocker that will have you jumping out of your seats..
  • July 2, 2008
    War/Zombie Film with British Lead actors. Alright to watch only once then discard it in the rubbish.
  • June 19, 2008
    A starnge, dark and minimalistic film. Resisting the temptation to go completely OTT on `zombie Nazi`s` it builds up things nicely. It was a pleasant surprise that there was no happy ending - an interesting watch.
  • June 17, 2008
    kötü kötü çok kötü karde?im bile daha iyi bi film çekerdi :)
  • June 16, 2008
    WTF was this all about, still dont get it, were they dead? invincible?
    very slow, not much action, pretty pants altogether really
  • June 3, 2008
    It passed some time on a rainy day. Its a good enough watch if you like ghost like zombie stuff with a twist of Mercenaries and gun play.
  • June 2, 2008
    the most shisest film i ever saw
  • May 26, 2008
    it grabbed my attention but it is Bollocks !
