Review of Outpost (2008) by Luke B — 16 Sep 2009

It's a strange and specific sub-genre, but the soldiers in an isolated setting tormented by the dead, has been constantly overused of late. Outpost is really no different from previous films, apart from it's slight science twist.

The film relies on familiar characters and dialogue you can hear coming from a mile away. It also suffers from taking itself far too seriously. The amount of unexplained details also hinders the enjoyment.

The Nazi soldiers seem to have the ability to appear where and when they want, at first, later in the film they are more physical and less super-natural. You can't really feel much for these characters and too much has been left for the sequel.

Fine for it's running time, but if you are familiar with R-Point or Guard Post 505, this is a disappointing rerun of such scenario's.
