Review of Outpost

Outpost (2008)
7/10
Keeps you interested till end
20 November 2009
I bought the DVD in a supermarket a while ago, and finally managed to see it. Have to say that it has a very simple straight approach and keeps the distractions to the minimum. The plot is not a surprise, but is handled well, without going over the top or giving too much away at once. The gore (and there is a fair amount) is not out of place. What really makes it so better from others is the settings and the acting. While most of the cast is from UK, they act credibly enough. The location and atmosphere during the movie is kept simple, there are not many gimmicks to distract you - so the tension builds up gradually. So while you know what to expect, you are drawn in the story. The end does not necessarily meet satisfaction, but it does not disappoint by miles. I even looked at the alternate endings, and I think it was wise to leave it out. Overall - recommend this to see once.
