Outpost: Black Sun (2012)

Overrated

Good concept, poorly executed.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

While it's premise is beyond stupid, some of the acting is a bit sub-par, and the cliffhanger ending is the equivalent of a giant middle finger to me,and the enemy supposed "True villain" is basically not given a real clear explanation as to who he is and why caused all of this, Outpost:Black Sun is still an entertaining B-movie experience due to some witty dialogue that also is delightfully cheesy as hell, gruesome action scenes, tense moments, and great make-up. I would actually be interested in seeing a sequel to this, which is good because they are making one that's supposed to come out next year if I am not mistaken.

. . . . than anyone would like this movie. Only two positives: Opening scene with Lena chasing Nazis & the "way cool" automatic machine guns the troopers were using. Everything else sucked!!!! Well, the Nazi zombies were pretty cool, but all the roaring reminded me of my Beagle barking continuously - very irritating.Basically this movie made me not care. It was boring, and at the end I just wanted it to be over. Thanks heavens I only paid $1 to rent it & even then I think I got screwed.Long periods of time where nothing happened - maybe I fell asleep - I certainly hope so.Actually I made a mistake when I rented it - I saw an advertisement for another movie - Outpost War in Hell & I thought why not see this one first? I may still rent the first one. But I doubt it.It made me sick to see the original Dawn of the Dead (Monroeville Mall) mentioned in the same breath as this clunker. Stay away - stay very far away.

dreadful i would rather have my teeth pulled out by a monkey than ever watch this again.huge fan of the 1st film its was low budget sure but it had a great cast there were well picked and the style and feel of the film was great very sort of David fincher tight and close it felt like a real place and real bunker a little light on action maybe but the script was simple and enjoyable and you could watch it more than once and happily keep it on the DVD shelf.BUT this was total junk, full of holes including... some woman doing something is she some kind of war criminal chaser ??? who they hell cares. then some guy joins her is he the bad guy is he the hero who cares. a typical cheap sequel like AVP2 with the over the top army getting involved scenes and poor action and no real explanation for anything at all and why the hell do these zombies now scream like mad ?? i have to turn the volume down on then screaming i don't remember them screaming like 70s bmovie zombies in the last one so what the hells going on. the cast are cheap wannabes to look almost like the last cast and again who cares about them, no character build up no real story as to why anything is going on, and why is there a crazy old zombie lady with a huge rack limping around ? its poor the director will never work again.a poor poor remake in fact if they had brought this to my house to review i would have hit them with an ashtray.junk total junk avoid all day long

Loved the 1st one, low budget and yes a few ott accents but a good idea and all round great horror flick. I was counting the days for the 2nd one, shooting was on and off and I kind of gave up on its coming out, and now having seen it I wish they had ran this past a few fans as I am sure they would have said NOOOOOOOOO! THE GOOD Starts well, setup is OK. Gets in to action faster than the 1st. More money spent on it. Music is fine. Script for the most part is fine.THE BAD Those not so good accents are back. Too bright, the first used darkness and shadows very well. Woman lead, I know i know, but she just does not work for me. The film seems to stray from what made the 1st so good, for me the Nazis were walking...no need to rush they cannot be killed, and they also popped out of shadows, there one second then gone, but in this its more like 28 days later Nazis. The lead Nazi is dif actor (not want to do or dead?) the guy in 1st was a spooky mofo, I was not happy to see him missing. Addig more new elements does not always make a better film, the crazy Nazi was just lame, and close to the end there is the main twist...if you can call it that, well it made me laugh, in a horror movie thats not a good sign, don't want to spoil it but the force was strong in that Jedi master....once you see it you will get it.I wish they looked at what people liked in the 1st and upped it, got a strong 2nd film out, made their money, then think about where to take it once they have a good budget, maybe bigger names (yes bigger names is not always a good thing) This falls in to my list of such a shame movies, could have been great and should have been.
