CousinBagunca What Outpost (2008) brought with that weird, but kinda interesting - and convoluted, to say the least - plot, Outpost: Black Sun, 4 years later, sort of... tears apart by including generic trends into the mix.It revolves around most nations aware of what's going on at them forgotten lands and, as usual, wanting to put their dirty hands into that kinky little device that turns soldiers into super soldiers (with the side effect of them acting like a bunch of zombies). In the mix, another expendables, an unexperienced Nazi hunting girl and another engineer are looking for the device so they can save the world.Some plot twists here and there, but yeah, movie is kinda watchable, if you like B horror movies.One thing that I never understood is why they could literally survive through years and years as super-ghostlike-soldiers, but they chose to fight bare handed and not bring any of their arsenal with them. No-brainer.Oh, and that "Star Wars"-ish scene... downranked a solid 4 stars into 3.Overall, meh entry for the Outpost series. Watch it only if you are up for watching the whole series.

Dan Ashley (DanLives1980) I was a fan of the surprising Outpost of 2008. It was one of the few offerings of the last decade that rose above its cheapness. Steve Barker showed great potential, something that was made clear with the help of veteran character actors such as Ray Stevenson and Richard Brake; not to forget a tightly wound atmospheric soundtrack! Surprisingly, Steve Barker returned to write and direct this sequel and yet it plays like a franchise that has been continued by an amateur replacement.Whereas the film has strength in a few authentic battle-scenes and the use of functioning weapons and blanks instead of CGI muzzle fire (very important to me), this review isn't about trying to save what remains of a bad film. Its lack of good actors coupled with everything else that fails makes it fall flat beyond its promising opening scenes.Barker makes the mistake of reinventing what worked to such great effect the first time around. I understand that he was trying to broaden the scope for a greater sense of danger regarding the plot but he fails to deliver on a larger scale. And yet by the time we return to the bunker, it's almost as if the movie ran out of funding.Outpost was claustrophobic and played on informational - and sometimes sensory - deprivation. In Black Sun, the cinematography is loose, the characters are paper thin and rather than a sense of urgency, the film is paced with the impatience of a rushed production.Furthermore I was let down by the sudden differences in the undead Nazi threat. In Outpost they couldn't die, not even after the EMP blast in the final scenes. Now all of a sudden they're being defeated with knives and they're dumber. They don't attack with the same savagery and they do a lot of screaming, which kills the mystery that actually made them frightening.Finally, and I'm breaking my own rule of not spoiling movies in my reviews, what the hell made Steve Barker think it'd be good or scary in any way to throw a witch hag into the mix? The ending doesn't even deserve the result of your insulted intelligence!

markgordonpalmer OUTPOST: BLACK SUN I didn't think I would enjoy this one. It reeked of straight to video and I'm not a fan of 'modern day Nazi zombies on the loose' franchises, of which (this may just be my imagination) there seem to be many.However, this sequel to 2008's original 'Outpost' was a lot of fun. The gloomy, surreal, fairytale woodland setting and the well-utilised Nazi zombies (who also made an appearance on stage and scared families and tourists away from a visit to London ever again by patrolling outside the cinema for a while), were mostly hidden in shadow, and ensured the film remained a genuinely creepy experience. The battle scenes were well portrayed and the acting was fine and funny in the right moments.There were some well-realised special effects of mad scientist Nazi death rays and the electric blue detonation where the sound went muffled, like we had all been deafened, had me worried for a few moments - a nice touch.Great setup for a sequel. I may even be watching! mark gordon palmer

yippeekiyah dreadful i would rather have my teeth pulled out by a monkey than ever watch this again.huge fan of the 1st film its was low budget sure but it had a great cast there were well picked and the style and feel of the film was great very sort of David fincher tight and close it felt like a real place and real bunker a little light on action maybe but the script was simple and enjoyable and you could watch it more than once and happily keep it on the DVD shelf.BUT this was total junk, full of holes including... some woman doing something is she some kind of war criminal chaser ??? who they hell cares. then some guy joins her is he the bad guy is he the hero who cares. a typical cheap sequel like AVP2 with the over the top army getting involved scenes and poor action and no real explanation for anything at all and why the hell do these zombies now scream like mad ?? i have to turn the volume down on then screaming i don't remember them screaming like 70s bmovie zombies in the last one so what the hells going on. the cast are cheap wannabes to look almost like the last cast and again who cares about them, no character build up no real story as to why anything is going on, and why is there a crazy old zombie lady with a huge rack limping around ? its poor the director will never work again.a poor poor remake in fact if they had brought this to my house to review i would have hit them with an ashtray.junk total junk avoid all day long
