Outpost is one of those great horror flicks that somehow slips through the cracks, even within the hardcore horror community. It is my duty to tell the world about great and not so great obscure horror flicks. Ready for duty SIR!Outpost is about a group of mercenaries hired to find a lost Nazi bunker and recover an unknown doomsday weapon for a clandestine unit. Upon arriving they find that the doomsday machine is no machine at all. Instead its a unit of unstoppable invincible Nazi soldiers still waiting for battle. Crazy forgotten Nazi experiments gone wrong? I'm sold.
Beautifully directed and filled with wonderful cinematography, Outpost visually stands head and shoulders above most indie horror flicks out there. The pacing is fast and the action is big. Theres's some great gore sprinkled throughout as well as some nazi ghost freakouts but by and large the film is more akin to 70s era nazisploitation films, which is fine with me. Having said that the film feels fresh and new and in no way an homage flicks that have polluted our great genre. Old school idea, with new school sensibility.
Outpost is certainly worth checking out, especially if nazi vs good guys films are your thing. Recommended.
