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.

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.

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.

Heartfelt zombie movie, about family love. I really enjoyed this movie, the acting was excellent from all involved. The special effects was good as well. Man escapes with his wife and two sons from a zombie apocalypse to an isolated farm. This drama zombie horror is a must watch as it takes on a different course. You feel for the whole families pain as you're watching, from the father, wife & two sons. Emotional, and psychological honor ensues. It seems foreign zombie movies are always the ones that are the best for me. I'm a zombie horror fan, and I will definitely be recommending this one on Netflix to my friends.
