Their mission is to scope out an old military bunker in Eastern Europe. It should be easy – 48 hours at the most. Lots of cash for little risk. Or so he says...

VeteranLight I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.
Ella-May O'Brien Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
hoytyhoyty This film deserves a lot of praise just for effort alone. It delivers EXACTLY what it says on the tin, and is a lot of fun. What more could you ask?The setup is great, and the location is perfect. They get a lot of mileage and suspense out of a near-empty field and some gloomy corridors.The performances are good all-round, and the characters are drawn with enough depth that you care when something happens to them.Apart from that, the plot is silly silly silly - but it's a horror film, I really don't think that's going to put anyone off. Also at least the plot provides for some quite creepy situations, especially in the lead-up when you don't know what is happening.I have one major criticism and it will probably attract ghouls rather than repel anyone - it resorts to torture-porn, briefly, in a couple of places. They weren't enough to wreck the film, but after most of the film is dark-house-spooky it was a bit much.And finally: as has probably been mentioned by other critics, fans of a certain FPS computer game series (I am one) will almost certainly get a kick out of this film!Verdict: Silly, has its faults, but very well executed and quite enjoyable.
Nitzan Havoc As a Horror fan, I guess it was about time that I'd finally familiarize myself with the whole "Nazi-Zombie" sub-genre. And I must admit the experience wasn't as disappointing as I'd expected. Still, I simply can't connect to such things. Nazi Ghosts sounds to me as ridiculous as Communist Vampire, something out of a Family Guy sketch rather than a serious film.Outpost is nothing too fancy, original or good, but it delivers. The acting of the mercenaries was my favorite part - they all managed to stick out, each in his own way. All were rough and "bad-ass" as such a mercenary should be! Also, the gamer in me loved the Castle Wolfenstine references.The story was also nice. Unlike basic Horror or ghost-horror sub genre who simply accept ghosts as a reality, Outpost was one of these action- horrors where they attempted a scientific explanation to the existence of apparitions. The whole "Einstein machine" angle was nice and fairly original.To be honest - I was originally going to rate this 3, because I didn't really enjoy the film. Later I realized that I simply expected Horror that would make me jump in my seat and fear for my life, rather than action-horror. So in an attempt to be more objective - I rate this 5. This review is my least favorite of all the ones I've written so far, but only because I need some more practice with watching action-horror films.All in all, in my opinion - as an action film Outpost lacked action, and as a Horror film it lacked horror :) As a combination - you might enjoy it.
Boba_Fett1138 This movie is a case of; the premise is being more awesome than the actual movie. I don't know what it is but war movies involving occult elements and in this particular case also zombies, always keep disappointing me, while I still have faith in it that one day a great movie about it will get made! Don't really know or understand what the film-makers were aiming. Guess they tried to be more than just an average, silly horror flick, with zombies in it. They did so by trying to make the story something convincing and by building up things very slowly. But we all know that at some point this movie is going to turn into a zombie flick anyway, so why even bother? Besides, in essence the movie and also its story never surpass the level of a B-movie, so it's actually only annoying that the movie tries to be way more than it in fact truly is.Especially the pace and buildup of the movie is being quite frustrating. For the longest time, there is absolutely nothing happening. So please don't go watch this movie expecting lots of zombie awesomeness or different type of action. the movie obviously didn't had the budget or knowhow, for any of that. there is also very little, which is another disappointing about the movie.They at least tried to provide the movie with some cool characters and developments, for all of them but I still can't really say that the movie has any true great or likable enough characters in it. I honestly can't remember any of their names and I also can't really say that any of them had a good and distinctive personality. In other words, I just couldn't care quite enough for any of them, which also made me far from feeling involved with this movie.It's definitely not being the worst that the genre has to offer but I still can't really call it a good enough or very recommendable movie either.5/10 http://bobafett1138.blogspot.nl/
garwhite44 To all of you who think that the script is "inconsistent" and "unbelievable", or that the zombies have varying skills and abilities compared to usual zombies, your correct. the movie, however, is about Nazi zombies.... you actually want a scientifically believable script which allows for Nazi Zombies to exist? Not me, that almost ruins it, and besides the idea is actually not that unbelievable too... This movie is amazing. It takes a possible death-trap idea and breathes new life to the Nazi Zombie concept. Good acting, okay script, great special effects, and great production/editing. I was expecting another re-hash zombie idea played out over a poorly designed script with the usual horrible acting but i was completely proved wrong. If you have ANY desire to watch zombie films, you should see this. If you are familiar with the Nazi zombie scene than you have no choice, you must watch this.
