Having watched a lot of these types of movies, I will say that caught on the clues and the movie still managed to surprise me I must say! I expected a low quality movie cheap effects and two line story. But no! It was outright frustrating and crap all together. Its quite an effort to churn out such surprisingly dull and boring stuff. Hats off to the makers.

This was a surprisingly good film , had enough suspense to keep you entertained. I expected a low budget corny film. The reality was much better than i expected , decent cast , good acting with a fairly strong story to match most horror/ thriller films . All in all it's worth watching if you enjoy them sort of films . The film is based in a bunker during a civil war , so again that's something to account for before you watch . Other than that , an overall good film. I'm hoping the follow up films from this are as good. Don't expect to be blown away but you will probably be pleasantly surprised. Happy watching :)

For some reason the producers were weary of spelling out the location of the plot, namely Kosovo, so they just went with a somewhat vague "Eastern Europe" caption. Nevertheless, they soon threw in a few words and sentences in Serbo-Croatian (yes, it's one common language, not two separate ones), just to make sure that Balkan viewers know (or to make it more real).The word "genocide" was mentioned early on, before Nazis became a key part of the story, so I can imagine quite a few Serb viewers starting to get paranoid about the implications. But if it's any comfort to them, it is never specified whose corpses those might be (later on we find out they're Nazi bodies), so the Serb viewers can feel free to assume that an Albanian massacre of Serbs was being implied, and the Albanian viewers can assume the reverse. That way everybody is happy, i.e. nationalist self-righteous paranoia on both sides is quashed, or at least tamed.There is also mention of Al Einstein, in one of the movie's attempts to lend the movie's "science" a whiff of credibility. (Fat chance, of course.) It was sort of implied that the Grand Unified Theory of Everything, the Holy Grail of Physics, eludes scientists to this day mostly because Einstein had abandoned it, "after he saw the testing of the first atomic bomb". Well, first of all, Einstein had never given up on that theory. And secondly, he wouldn't have found an answer to it if he lived for another 100 years. He wasn't even close. The suggestion that the world of physics (still) cannot cope with the death of Einstein is a ludicrous one, almost as silly as the belief (among most "civilians") that Stephen Hawking is the greatest living physicist today. He isn't even in the top 10."Outpost" is a well-made action horror film that avoids boredom or annoying moments of cinematic malarkey (an affliction to be found in the majority of modern films, regardless of genre or subject matter). It sticks to its own rules, i.e. doesn't make any Earth-shatteringly idiotic breaches of (its own) logic.The downside is the visual quality and the ending. The movie looks like someone had spilled old milk all over it. It seems to contain less colour than a 30s black-&-white flick. Is that what they consider lends the events more realism? What nonsense. All it does is make the movie less fun to watch. The over-use of these depression-inducing camera filters in recent years is starting to become a real nuisance. Movies are either brown, or all-blue, or entirely green. More natural colours, people! Or at least mix it up a bit.The ending is simply too banal. The mercenaries get bumped off one by one, until none are left, and then the new batch of Nazi-fodder arrive, who presumably also get all slaughtered. I would have wished a more imaginative conclusion, perhaps with a twist or two, or if not that then at least a more ambiguous ending, because this ending is only fit for some cheap horror TV-show anthology series, not a release for the big screens.

I must be honest, this film is pretty average. It's remarkably similar in story to the superior 'Bunker' that dealt with the same subject matter in a far better way. It seems to me as though there has been a fair amount left on the cutting room floor, which has lead to some plot holes and character inconsistencies. We find ourselves in the company of the usual mix of merc toughguys, none of which are particularly well developed. Only Ray Stevenson's character which is paper thin elicits any feelings of sympathy from the audience - and even with him, we are given very little to go on. The actors all commit 100% to their parts though, with varying levels of success. Richard Brake is good as Stevenson's redneck right hand man, but some of the other accents might leave you grinning for the wrong reasons. Im not exactly sure where Brett Fancy's Taktarov is meant to be from, but he along with Enoch Frost's woeful African accent certainly jar. There are a few good scares to be had, but in fairness the film is a little slow and doesn't really satisfy as either a horror or an action film. Dog Soldiers handles the brothers in arms versus supernatural enemy's far better, but for some odd reason, i found myself watching this to the end happily enough. The film looked nice and had an decent score, but was let down by underdeveloped writing and a few week performances. All in all though, this is decent fodder for a one time viewing.
