Outpost: Black Sun (2012) Reviews
A really pointless and poor sequel
Outpost, the original was watchable and a good honest, original idea. This incarnation, the sequel is a botched attempt at something, not sure what, maybe the actors got together to make a type of CV of their skills (which is pretty low judging by this) The acting, the accents and the plot are dire. Furthermore, the story jumps and flits about like a grasshopper in mid summer and the only aim is to reach the end of the movie with room for a sequel .Oh dear. No connection between events and the lunacy of the idea to make a sequel is plain to see. Then, consider the special effects; I reckon a group of students clubbed together and chipped in £50 a piece to make a pseudo CV of their talents; amounting to about 0.5 / 10 Someone, somewhere must have stumped up hard cash for this drivel and I can only question their sanity for doing so. I will soon be viewing the 3rd installment
Dark, muddled, badly shot
I was looking forward to watching OUTPOST: BLACK SUN, having enjoyed the first film and being a fan of Nazi zombie films in general. However, this sequel appears to have been shot by a crew without much talent, because it's generally a mess, and a poorly-shot mess at that. The story begins promisingly as a young woman tracks down an old Nazi in Paraguay. It's great to see the veteran Michael Byrne in this minor role. However, things start slipping when she gets teamed up with an obnoxious researcher (Richard Coyle, sporting an American accent) and a team of grunts to go and investigate another Nazi menace. What this all boils down to is lots of shaky cam work as the characters run around, kill, and are killed by Nazi zombies. The villains are pretty weak here, indistinguishable from loads of other movies, and the characters are paper thin. Everything has been shot in the dark, and clumsily with it, which means the action is no better than something you'd see in the ultra low budget likes of THE ZOMBIE DIARIES: WORLD OF THE DEAD and its ilk. What could have been a strong and terrifying supernatural-themed movie turns out to be badly shot, badly scripted, and completely forgettable to boot.
Lackluster Sequel
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.
Hello!? The Rise Of The 4th Reich!?.... Ha!
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.
Derivative and Uninspired
As the summary indicates this sequel was derivative completely uninspired. Outpost 1 was a well crafted low budget horror with suspense, atmosphere and somewhat likable characters. Although the original was a B movie, it had aspirations to be much more than that - and on occasion it achieved greatness. It was like watching a young John Carpenter at the height of his powers. The sequel was a bad idea. Shabby acting forgiven, we find ourselves in the same locations doing pretty much the same thing as the first film. The same bunker set is utilised - although this time we find a 'secret elevator' to a new chamber. The scenery of 'Eastern Europe' was clearly filmed in the UK, they got away with this before, but this time it's very obvious. The director tries to give a sense of a larger scale - with a nazi zombies apocalypse looming. The American Army have been sent to dispatch with the problem, however the budget doesn't really allow for such spectacle and it looks more like a 'sci fi channel presents' affair. I was saddened by this movie as the director showed such promise from his efforts in the first film. What we have here is lazy and unimaginative. What's needed is a whole new movie concept - not a sequel.
