This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.
Good start, but then it gets ruined
I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Trekking into the wilderness, a group of soldiers during WWII sent to find a horde of lost Nazi gold in the area stumble across a disused bunker filled with dead bodies which are soon reanimated as indestructible Nazi Zombies intent on finishing their orders against the group.Frankly, there wasn't a whole lot really wrong with this one. One of the more enjoyable elements to be found here is the fact that this one really manages to do an impressive job during it's build-up to their arrival at the site as the first half of this one manages to get some enjoyable elements featured. The fact that the majority of this time is spent on the soldiers moving through the woods and finding the bunker comes off rather nicely in setting them up as professionals, slowly segueing into the more nominal horror elements with the discovery of the bunker and what it contains. Since it revels in the creepy atmospheric look and completely unknown contents buried within, this is all quite nicely realized and makes for a much creepier set-up than expected with the whole affair being much more chilling the longer that they remain inside trying to find the gold, which is exactly the way this scenario should play out as the slowly-built atmosphere makes for a nice set-up. It's all aided along nicely by the little creaks and moans heard throughout the bunker just off-camera, letting the creepiness get rather overwhelming before it turns into the raging zombie action/horror of the later half which changes the eeriness for a series of fun and highly enjoyable stalking scenes as they run wild in the compound attacking the soldiers inside the different rooms and hallways of the underground bunker which is full of graphic, bloody kills and creepy images showing them coming up from behind taking them out in grand style. Using the slasher elements in a zombie film of this caliber gives this the kind of enhanced suspense and atmosphere that's not normally featured in such a film, allowing for this to be creepy and action-packed at the same time, and really giving this exactly what's needed to raising this one up as there's a big difference to be found here. The film's main flaw is the fact that there's just such a long period of time before any kind of action occurs for as good as the setup is where it gets them to the bunker and what happens there, this one still has quite a ways to go before it gets to the actual zombies attacking. Getting into the different means about the group finding the leftover relics and the different equipment for their trip and it simply holds all the zombie action into the back-half of the film. That is quite fun, but it's simply hard to ignore how slow it is to get going. Otherwise, this one was quite fun and enjoyable.Rated R: Extreme Graphic Language, Graphic Violence and mild drug use.
View MoreOkay, so 'perfect' is probably not a term that should be used to describe a film about ghost-Nazis stalking a team of mercenaries in the wastelands of Eastern Europe, but, for what it is, 'Outpost' is a pretty damn good film.Hopefully, if you've fully digested my first paragraph about the ghost-Nazis (or zombie-Nazis – take your pick) you won't be expecting a deep and intellectual film, filled with emotional depth and fulfilling character arcs and plot twists. So, if you're looking for a damn tense (and pretty creepy) little story, with decent action scenes and characters you may actually care about, then try this.Outpost is a B-movie. It never really tries to be anything else. It doesn't have much of a budget, but what it does have it uses well.So, if you like your action/war/horror movies short and to the point, you really could do worse than to watch Outpost (just don't get it confused with any of the – very inferior – sequels!http://thewrongtreemoviereviews.blogspot.co.uk/
View MoreThis movie is a case of; the premise is being more awesome than the actual movie. I don't know what it is but war movies involving occult elements and in this particular case also zombies, always keep disappointing me, while I still have faith in it that one day a great movie about it will get made! Don't really know or understand what the film-makers were aiming. Guess they tried to be more than just an average, silly horror flick, with zombies in it. They did so by trying to make the story something convincing and by building up things very slowly. But we all know that at some point this movie is going to turn into a zombie flick anyway, so why even bother? Besides, in essence the movie and also its story never surpass the level of a B-movie, so it's actually only annoying that the movie tries to be way more than it in fact truly is.Especially the pace and buildup of the movie is being quite frustrating. For the longest time, there is absolutely nothing happening. So please don't go watch this movie expecting lots of zombie awesomeness or different type of action. the movie obviously didn't had the budget or knowhow, for any of that. there is also very little, which is another disappointing about the movie.They at least tried to provide the movie with some cool characters and developments, for all of them but I still can't really say that the movie has any true great or likable enough characters in it. I honestly can't remember any of their names and I also can't really say that any of them had a good and distinctive personality. In other words, I just couldn't care quite enough for any of them, which also made me far from feeling involved with this movie.It's definitely not being the worst that the genre has to offer but I still can't really call it a good enough or very recommendable movie either.5/10 http://bobafett1138.blogspot.nl/
View MoreTo all of you who think that the script is "inconsistent" and "unbelievable", or that the zombies have varying skills and abilities compared to usual zombies, your correct. the movie, however, is about Nazi zombies.... you actually want a scientifically believable script which allows for Nazi Zombies to exist? Not me, that almost ruins it, and besides the idea is actually not that unbelievable too... This movie is amazing. It takes a possible death-trap idea and breathes new life to the Nazi Zombie concept. Good acting, okay script, great special effects, and great production/editing. I was expecting another re-hash zombie idea played out over a poorly designed script with the usual horrible acting but i was completely proved wrong. If you have ANY desire to watch zombie films, you should see this. If you are familiar with the Nazi zombie scene than you have no choice, you must watch this.
