Review of Outpost

Outpost (2008)
7/10
Rather good military horror movie
2 April 2008
This movie is kind of a combination of a couple of other movies. "Dog Soldiers", "R-Point", and "Shock Waves". The story has these mercenaries escorting this one guy to this area of woods in the middle of a war torn country. Once they get there, the hardest part of the job should be over, but not quite. In the middle of this field there is an underground bunker and what this man who hired the soldiers wants is apparently there. The soldiers soon are fired upon by unknown assailants and they also discover a collection of bodies, that even includes someone alive. Well they soon discover this place was a Nazi bunker and the one guy is there to find out just what the German's were experimenting with. Let's just say it was not quite what I was thinking, but then it was. There are things lurking about and they begin to kill the mercenaries, just what they are is not quite clear even after the explanation. However, it is a bit more original than the typical zombie. The movie has a couple of faults though, one the set up is a bit long. It takes a good bit for the movie to get going, though once it gets going your in for a lot of action and blood. I also was not thrilled with the ending, though that is just a minor gripe, it was not all that bad, but I was hoping for a different outcome. Other than those two things and a couple of minor points though this movie was entertaining enough to me.
