Outpost: Black Sun

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".

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.

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.

I really enjoyed the first one, it was one of those films you came across and thought "theres nothing else to watch" but found yourself presently surprised.

The sequel however is a different matter entirely. Although not a bad film, its not a good one ether. The plot has a massive amount of holes, the script is straight out of a b-movie and the acting was fairly dull.

There were moments of excitement but they are few and far between and unlike the first film this one contains not a single tense moment at all. I found myself many times throughout the film checking my phone or tablet which is a pretty good sign of how interesting a movie is.

Sequels always being rubbish aside, don't pay to see this film, watch it on TV or stream it online when you've watched everything else of merit on Netflix.
