Outside

There is a good movie here. Acting is good, storyline is good and the zombies are a fresh version. There are some ways the story turns and plays with your emotions on the family dynamic that I really liked. The ending does well to wrap up everyone's story arc.

However, the movie drags on so long with very few zombie moments that you will feel like an undead by the end. I am actually a fan of the slow paced zombie films but this one really drags it out. Just when you think things will get exciting it slows back down to it's turtle pace.

This movie would be excellent if it landed at 1:45min run time and maybe one or two more zombie scenes.

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.

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.

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.

I have to say there was a lot going on considering the entire film is based around a family of four in the middle of nowhere.

It's not jam packed with action but there are some really cool bits and a nice jump scare here and there.

There's a lot of tension in the family, which plays out quite well, and it leans in more to that aspect, rather than the outbreak of zombies.

The zombies are cool though. I like that they seem to repeat the last thing they said before they turned. At least that's what I figured was happening.

A scene with the youngest kid had me chuckling.

Overall a decent little zombie flick for fans of the genre. It's a bit messy but a solid effort.
