Outside

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.

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.

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.

This movie reminds me of The Shining, but set in a post-apocalyptic, zombie-infested world. Outside is more of a psychological horror drama, with themes like jealousy, growing insanity, and intergenerational domestic violence. I found this approach quite depressing, and it wasn't really for me. I usually enjoy easy-to-watch zombie splatter movies and prefer to avoid psychological tension, conflicts, and relationship issues between the living.

While zombies aren't the main focus here, the ones we do see are genuinely scary and convincingly portrayed as the terrifying undead. However, given that the movie is long and slow-paced, with most of it happening in a small, confined space, I would've liked a bit more action and some classic zombie-killing scenes. Alternatively, the movie could have been shorter without losing any of its impact.

The acting is solid, and everything looks visually impressive. I don't know what the budget was, but it never felt cheap. The storyline is coherent, though it leaves some key events up to the viewer's imagination. Overall, I have no complaints about the production quality - it's just that the heavy focus on psychological and domestic abuse themes didn't appeal to me.

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.
