Outpost: Black Sun
« on: December 02, 2012, 02:52:37 AM »
Some kind of semi-sequel to that WWWII "classic" Outpost

http://www.imdb.com/video/screenplay/vi3419382809/

Looks like straight to DVD. Anybody seen it. Is it worth watching?

Hmmm. Interesting.

I liked Outpost, but the ending kind of sucked for me. Hopefully this is different.

This one sort of explains the ending.It has its good bits but could've been better.Worth watching for ideas.

It's better than the first one, but that's not saying much. I found the first one pretty weak.

I picked this cheap on Blu Ray and you can't beat a bit Nazi Zombies film continues from where the first one left off. The next bunch of soldiers turn up at the bunker.

I have this on bluray and I actually haven't watched it yet. I really liked the first one, I thought it was cool having the Nazi baddies not just be generic shambling zombies, they were actually malicious and felt really evil. Sure the ending was a bit of a downer, but to be honest I kind of expected it.

I might watch the sequel tonight, I'm not sure yet.

Also for those of you with iPhones/iPods, there's a free game based on Outpost: Black Sun called Outpost Defense.

I did watch it, I don't remember what I thought of it, I'm sure that it was better than the first, I'll watch it again right now and report back in an hour or two, did Outpost 3 a The Rise of Spetznas ever happen?

I wouldn't say it was better than the first. More action, more background, less spooky... And it has a rather dumb ending (the lightning part). Still, it's fun.

now to get a copy of the third
Don't! It's terrible and immensely boring!
I thought it would be the most interesting because it's set during WW2, with the Outpost laboratory still active. Turns out it's mostly one Soviet soldier (who doesn't even know how to handle a PPSh) running around and killing everybody.

I've seen this but not the first. It's alright, but not amazing by any stretch.
