mail-1030 As others have noted Outpost 2 starts out with interesting opening, a bit of back story to the first enjoyable outing. Of course this is solid B Movie territory.Alas momentum is soon lost as the movie sags with a depressingly predictable script swaying into ridiculous cliché, (Nazi hag Zombie ?!) The first Outpost worked because it had some genuine suspense, decent horror and likable non cardboard characters. if your a fan of the first and or the sub-sub genre of Nazi super Zombie it's probably still worth a watch, it looks well and does flirt with interesting moments.Early John Carpenter this is not a real shame as the original Outpost certainly was close. The awful poster sums it up. Misjudged.
kosmasp When a civilian outruns a military unit, by showing up earlier at a site that both are heading for ... well to me, that says a lot. But it's not the only thing that is most unfortunate for this movie. A movie that looks more than solid and has actors you may recognize and like. Doesn't change the fact, that you get a by the numbers (at best) story or some silly "twists" at its worst moments.One of the soldier characters was my favorite, the guy portraying him did a more than solid job and was really outshining the other actors. A downfall (no wordplay here) from the original Outpost, this really is nothing you need to see.
hasnoform Exceptionally well-made piece of work with top-notch production values all round. Fantastic acting from the leads down to the small parts, great use of sound, excellent dramatic lighting and powerful, gripping camera-work especially in the action sequences. Some truly shocking moments and great plot-twists and surprises. My favourite parts of this film were actually not the battle-scenes but some of the dialogue scenes particularly the final one with the two men. Extremely good casting and some great performances from not just the leads who were uniformly great but all the tiny roles as well since it's essential to ensure every actor (no matter how small the role is) is great in a film like this otherwise cracks would start to show.
FFAxDAVID Although i enjoyed this film, i must admit it does not have the spirit of the original and am hoping the 3rd in series will make up for it. In the original outpost, the Nazi's were intimidating without needing to be on screen much. They appeared when least expected or if expected appeared in glimpses out of corner of eye or in reflections until they ripped your head off suddenly and with menace (can you rip off someones head in an un-menacing way?)Much as the follow ups to Jaws franchise, outpost 2 seemed to assume that now the viewers have seen the killer, they will not be happy unless they see it a lot more, and although the suspense and limited viewing of the shark with occasional jump out of seat moments as the film progressed is what made it such a hit, follow up films ignored this fact completely and made no suspense and showed the shark so often that there were no jump out of seat bits, and unfortunately outpost two producers like many decent horror sequels have fallen into the same trap. The Nazi zombie army seem to be just that, an army rather than spiritual entities, patrolling their bunker rather than haunting it, attacking rather than just appearing out of nowhere and killing before disappearing again, totally ignoring what made the first film a surprise hit and not trying to scare at all.I have given it a score of 7 mainly for keeping same character base and attempting to follow up on the original, but in fairness to reality it probably should have been a 6. I really enjoyed the 1st oupost, and much as I liked the idea of a follow up it was not as enjoyable as anticipated. I can only hope that the producers of the currently in production outpost 3 look back at the original, realize what made it so enjoyable and work again along those lines rather than as anticipated make same mistake they did with the follow up and make just another Nazi zombie film with an OK story and no scares.
