Outpost: Black Sun

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.

As a big fan of the first film I was looking forward to seeing black sun .The budget seemed slightly bigger than the first but sadly had removed the very things that made the first film great.If you've seen the first film , then you will know that the Nazi super soldier zombies could teleport using unified field physics which was used to make them into super soldiers of doom.All they seemed to do in this film was walk! Secondly being super zombie soldiers they used to move silently in the first film.In this one they make cliché zombie noises for no reason what so ever.The thing that really irritated me about this film the most was the zombie hag witch!she was'nt in the first film (thank god)There was no explanation as to who,why or what her purpose was.In this film all she did was hobble around the bunkers tunnels laughing in the style of a pantomime witch escorted by two zombie soldiers. When I first started watching the film it started off great with a bit of a back story to the bunkers creation but then degenerated into a yawn fest.I don't know why they had a stupid hag woman zombie in it? I have no clue why they made the super soldiers into average soldiers that made daft noises giving away their location all the time.Since they did'nt teleport anymore ,they should've given the zombie soldiers little pink bikes with bells on so they could get around quick .Even though the first film did'nt make me jump , it did have a few moments that demonstrated how sadistic the soldiers could be , this also seemed missing in black sun. I liked the first film that much I actually bought it to add to my collection, the second one I won't be buying .

p.s. The acting in the film was good (apart from the cliché zombies)and if the director had kept the very things that made ouptost great this movie would've also been great.I hope if they make a 3rd film they re watch number one and realise they removed the things that made Outpost unique.

Loved the 1st one, low budget and yes a few ott accents but a good idea and all round great horror flick. I was counting the days for the 2nd one, shooting was on and off and I kind of gave up on its coming out, and now having seen it I wish they had ran this past a few fans as I am sure they would have said NOOOOOOOOO! THE GOOD Starts well, setup is OK. Gets in to action faster than the 1st. More money spent on it. Music is fine. Script for the most part is fine.

THE BAD Those not so good accents are back. Too bright, the first used darkness and shadows very well. Woman lead, I know i know, but she just does not work for me. The film seems to stray from what made the 1st so good, for me the Nazis were walking...no need to rush they cannot be killed, and they also popped out of shadows, there one second then gone, but in this its more like 28 days later Nazis. The lead Nazi is dif actor (not want to do or dead?) the guy in 1st was a spooky mofo, I was not happy to see him missing. Addig more new elements does not always make a better film, the crazy Nazi was just lame, and close to the end there is the main twist...if you can call it that, well it made me laugh, in a horror movie thats not a good sign, don't want to spoil it but the force was strong in that Jedi master....once you see it you will get it.

I wish they looked at what people liked in the 1st and upped it, got a strong 2nd film out, made their money, then think about where to take it once they have a good budget, maybe bigger names (yes bigger names is not always a good thing) This falls in to my list of such a shame movies, could have been great and should have been.

Not having seen the first "Outpost" movie, I had no pre-set hopes or expectations for "Outpost: Black Sun". So I had no idea how much the story in "Outpost: Black Sun" was tied to the story in "Outpost", and not sure if any of the characters were from the first movie. And as such, I wasn't disappointed in any way. Started the movie with a clean slate and open for impressions.

I found "Outpost: Black Sun" to actually be quite good, and it did spur on an interest to go watch the first "Outpost" movie as well. This movie is full of adrenaline, fast packed action, conspiracies, treason and of course zombie Nazis.

The story in "Outpost: Black Sun" was alright, sort of a bit on the epic doomsday device side of things, but hey, we are dealing with zombie Nazis and their agenda here, right? Right from the very beginning, you are swept up and caught up on the storyline here, and you want to see what happens next, what lurks around the next corner in the gloomy bunker.

The acting in the movie was quite good, and I think all people did great jobs with their given roles. Even those playing the zombie Nazis as they didn't even have any lines to perform, just groaning and growling.

For a movie with zombies, then "Outpost: Black Sun" didn't disappoint. And I am a huge zombie aficionado. The zombies looked really nice, lots of great make-up and effects. However, sadly enough, there weren't actually that much gore, blood and mayhem as you might otherwise expect in a zombie movie. But still, the movie was driven by an intense story, so the lack of gore wasn't a problem. Whomever came up with the idea of zombie Nazis were on to something, because it is just works so nicely.

I recommend "Outpost: Black Sun" if you like zombie movies, if you like war movies, and if you like fast-paced movies that have a twist of events here and there.

Two rotting thumbs up for "Outpost: Black Sun".

This is my first review on IMDb and it will be very quick. All I wanted to say is that I have seen original Outpost movie couple of years ago and it was "ok" thriller/horror flick and I didn't really expect any more films, to be following. Well I was wrong and I decided to give it a go too. With low-average expectations... And to be honest, I was pleasantly surprised. From the first two minutes of camera/lighting quality, acting, etc... I knew, that there is something good happening there and now, I'm really happy I didn't pass. It's better than first Outpost and it's definitely better than lots of HIGH budget cinema flicks. I would recommend this film to any thriller/horror fan! Enjoy!
