Outside

As a huge fan of zombie movies, I was really looking forward to this one after seeing the trailer. It promised intense action, suspense, and a fresh take on the undead. But when I actually sat down to watch it, I realized the trailer was the best part. Instead of the thrilling, zombie-filled horror I was expecting, the movie was bogged down with way too much drama. It spent more time focusing on the characters' emotional struggles than on the actual zombie apocalypse. The few action scenes that were there felt forced, and I was left waiting for more of the tension and excitement the trailer teased.

The movie's pacing was slow, with long, drawn-out scenes that made it feel like a soap opera rather than a survival horror. The zombies almost felt like background noise, which is a huge disappointment when you're watching something that's supposed to be about the undead taking over. If you've seen the trailer, you've already witnessed the best moments. It's frustrating because the film had so much potential, but instead of delivering on the high-octane zombie action it promised, it focused too much on unnecessary drama. The trailer raised my hopes, but the actual movie left me feeling disappointed and let down.

Sometimes the best way to watch a movie or series is to leave all your expectations before watching it or else many times you get disappointed.

That's what this movie will do if you if you expect it to be a zombie Survival movie.

It deviates from the infamous apocalyptic world survival horror genre to a more of Psychological Horror or Domestic horror genre. If you are watching the movie for a thrill ride like watching a endless Zombie killing spree movie then you shouldn't watch this one.

There are very less Scenes involving zombies but more with violence between different Characters and between Characters and their inner demon.

At the end of the day I enjoyed the movie and it's something different this time.

The acting is top notch, Story felt a little bit dragged but still it was good. Definitely You can give it a try.

Severe gore and violence present so stay away if you can't watch it.

Aside from what I'm assuming is Tagalog and the Filipino aspect, this is a zombie-infested drama everyone is familiar with by now. It does nothing new, as in a world filled with flesh-eating creatures and the real monsters are often other human beings. See the behavior of the average person when pushed to the extreme with no enforcement of rules or norms to adhere to. Pretty standard.

Starts off as a family drama that eventually spirals into a domestic horror. What makes this worth watching is Sid Lucero and Beauty Gonzalez. They're good. Very convincing. It's just enough to take this boilerplate film to its conclusion. The kids try their best but don't quite sell it, and the special effects are adequate but not particularly noteworthy. Neither is the environment/setting, which almost feels as if you're watching the same scene for over two hours.

I don't want to criticize too harshly. It's just that after 12 years of The Walking Dead and countless zombie games + films/spinoffs later, this is nothing special. You watch this for the talent of the aforementioned actors and maybe an appreciation of the language / culture on display. Outside of being an enthusiast, there's not much else to show up for.

Francis, his wife iris and sons lucas and josh are traveling across the country. This movie is set in the post apocolypse so we join the family as they look through houses to try and find some supplies. Its clear they already have one and are trying to find gas for a generator, but we dont see it to later. Though something is wrong with francise and after an encounter with the undead on a bridge he lies and says the car is broken and tries to keep his family in the big mansion they have occupied. It has a limited cast which is good and the wasteland setting has been made well. I like the take on zombies here too. As this time they can talk and look more like the people have been pocessed by something. A little gory but shows the real struggles with trying to keep loved ones alive during the worst possible times. Overall a intersting zombie flick.

Outside dives into the zombie apocalypse genre with a unique perspective, focusing on the psychological toll of survival rather than just the thrills of combat. Director Carlo Ledesma, the film showcases a group of survivors trapped in a remote cabin, cut off from the rest of the world.

The cinematography beautifully captures the haunting atmosphere of their isolation, with sweeping shots of the desolate landscape that heighten the sense of dread. The performances, especially by Sid Lucero and Beauty Gonzalez, bring depth to the characters, making their struggles relatable and emotionally impactful.

One of the film's strengths is its exploration of human relationships under extreme pressure. The dynamic within the group adds layers to the narrative, showcasing how fear can both unite and divide. However, some moments feel overly drawn out, and certain plot developments can be predictable for seasoned zombie genre fans.

While the film does offer some tense action sequences, it leans more heavily into character-driven storytelling, which might not satisfy everyone looking for a traditional zombie thriller. The pacing occasionally lags, and a few secondary characters feel underdeveloped.

Overall, Outside presents an interesting take on survival and humanity amid chaos. It may not be perfect, but it offers enough intrigue and emotion to make it worth a watch, especially for those who appreciate character-driven narratives in the horror genre.
