Outpost: Black Sun

As a big fan of the first film I was looking forward to seeing black sun .The budget seemed slightly bigger than the first but sadly had removed the very things that made the first film great.If you've seen the first film , then you will know that the Nazi super soldier zombies could teleport using unified field physics which was used to make them into super soldiers of doom.All they seemed to do in this film was walk! Secondly being super zombie soldiers they used to move silently in the first film.In this one they make cliché zombie noises for no reason what so ever.The thing that really irritated me about this film the most was the zombie hag witch!she was'nt in the first film (thank god)There was no explanation as to who,why or what her purpose was.In this film all she did was hobble around the bunkers tunnels laughing in the style of a pantomime witch escorted by two zombie soldiers. When I first started watching the film it started off great with a bit of a back story to the bunkers creation but then degenerated into a yawn fest.I don't know why they had a stupid hag woman zombie in it? I have no clue why they made the super soldiers into average soldiers that made daft noises giving away their location all the time.Since they did'nt teleport anymore ,they should've given the zombie soldiers little pink bikes with bells on so they could get around quick .Even though the first film did'nt make me jump , it did have a few moments that demonstrated how sadistic the soldiers could be , this also seemed missing in black sun. I liked the first film that much I actually bought it to add to my collection, the second one I won't be buying .

p.s. The acting in the film was good (apart from the cliché zombies)and if the director had kept the very things that made ouptost great this movie would've also been great.I hope if they make a 3rd film they re watch number one and realise they removed the things that made Outpost unique.

As others have noted Outpost 2 starts out with interesting opening, a bit of back story to the first enjoyable outing. Of course this is solid B Movie territory.

Alas momentum is soon lost as the movie sags with a depressingly predictable script swaying into ridiculous cliché, (Nazi hag Zombie ?!) The first Outpost worked because it had some genuine suspense, decent horror and likable non cardboard characters.

if your a fan of the first and or the sub-sub genre of Nazi super Zombie it's probably still worth a watch, it looks well and does flirt with interesting moments.

Early John Carpenter this is not a real shame as the original Outpost certainly was close. The awful poster sums it up.

Misjudged.

I really enjoyed the first one, it was one of those films you came across and thought "theres nothing else to watch" but found yourself presently surprised.

The sequel however is a different matter entirely. Although not a bad film, its not a good one ether. The plot has a massive amount of holes, the script is straight out of a b-movie and the acting was fairly dull.

There were moments of excitement but they are few and far between and unlike the first film this one contains not a single tense moment at all. I found myself many times throughout the film checking my phone or tablet which is a pretty good sign of how interesting a movie is.

Sequels always being rubbish aside, don't pay to see this film, watch it on TV or stream it online when you've watched everything else of merit on Netflix.

When a civilian outruns a military unit, by showing up earlier at a site that both are heading for ... well to me, that says a lot. But it's not the only thing that is most unfortunate for this movie. A movie that looks more than solid and has actors you may recognize and like. Doesn't change the fact, that you get a by the numbers (at best) story or some silly "twists" at its worst moments.

One of the soldier characters was my favorite, the guy portraying him did a more than solid job and was really outshining the other actors. A downfall (no wordplay here) from the original Outpost, this really is nothing you need to see.

Yawn!.... Well, here we go again with yet another savagely vicious zombie movie - But, this time around it's been specially flavoured with a demented Nazi-twist to its storyline, which I guess was supposed to make it much more interesting to watch. But, it didn't.

One of Outpost's biggest strikes against it was the nuisance, meddlesome, female character, Lena. This woman was, pretty much, the only female in what seemed to be a male-dominated cast. And, strike #2 against Outpost was that each of these males was nothing but a typical army jock who was hell-bent on proving to his fellow troopers that his balls hung lower than theirs'.

Anyway - The biggest problem with the Lena character was that one minute she wanted to be treated as if she were just one-of-the-boys, and, then, in the next minute she was demanding special consideration due her gender as a female. (Spare me!)

If that wasn't annoying enough - Outpost was also one of those irksome horror movies where the characters clearly didn't know what the hell they were dealing with (the Nazi zombies), yet, they handled the whole situation with a truly remarkable competence.

In conclusion - For all that it was worth, this super-lame, poorly conceived Zombie/Nazi movie should have really been billed as a twisted slapstick comedy - 'Cause that's all it was to me.
