Review of Outpost

Outpost (2008)
7/10
Science meets Voodoo
20 April 2008
Reading a review of this film on the BBC it was interesting to see that the movie's producers Arabella Croft and Kieran Parker risk £200,000 of their own cash on the film by re-mortgaging their home. In film terms this is a "low budget" film, shot mainly in Scotland. Outpost pretends to be set somewhere in Eastern Europe where a group of mercenaries are hired to escort a scientist to a remove military base. All that is known about the mission is that the scientist needs to find something. What is meant to be a 48 hour operation becomes an un-living nightmare. I found Outpost an intriguing film. The acting is good and more importantly the causation of the terrifying secret has a nice slant to it. There are some good gore scenes which see our mercenaries get a slow painful taste of 1940's science. Overall,an enjoyable film which is worth a view.
