Outpost: Black Sun (2012)

As a big fan of the first film I was looking forward to seeing black sun .The budget seemed slightly bigger than the first but sadly had removed the very things that made the first film great.If you've seen the first film , then you will know that the Nazi super soldier zombies could teleport using unified field physics which was used to make them into super soldiers of doom.All they seemed to do in this film was walk! Secondly being super zombie soldiers they used to move silently in the first film.In this one they make cliché zombie noises for no reason what so ever.The thing that really irritated me about this film the most was the zombie hag witch!she was'nt in the first film (thank god)There was no explanation as to who,why or what her purpose was.In this film all she did was hobble around the bunkers tunnels laughing in the style of a pantomime witch escorted by two zombie soldiers. When I first started watching the film it started off great with a bit of a back story to the bunkers creation but then degenerated into a yawn fest.I don't know why they had a stupid hag woman zombie in it? I have no clue why they made the super soldiers into average soldiers that made daft noises giving away their location all the time.Since they did'nt teleport anymore ,they should've given the zombie soldiers little pink bikes with bells on so they could get around quick .Even though the first film did'nt make me jump , it did have a few moments that demonstrated how sadistic the soldiers could be , this also seemed missing in black sun. I liked the first film that much I actually bought it to add to my collection, the second one I won't be buying .

p.s. The acting in the film was good (apart from the cliché zombies)and if the director had kept the very things that made ouptost great this movie would've also been great.I hope if they make a 3rd film they re watch number one and realise they removed the things that made Outpost unique.

Fmovies: As others have noted Outpost 2 starts out with interesting opening, a bit of back story to the first enjoyable outing. Of course this is solid B Movie territory.

Alas momentum is soon lost as the movie sags with a depressingly predictable script swaying into ridiculous cliché, (Nazi hag Zombie ?!) The first Outpost worked because it had some genuine suspense, decent horror and likable non cardboard characters.

if your a fan of the first and or the sub-sub genre of Nazi super Zombie it's probably still worth a watch, it looks well and does flirt with interesting moments.

Early John Carpenter this is not a real shame as the original Outpost certainly was close. The awful poster sums it up.

Misjudged.

This is my first review on IMDb and it will be very quick. All I wanted to say is that I have seen original Outpost movie couple of years ago and it was "ok" thriller/horror flick and I didn't really expect any more films, to be following. Well I was wrong and I decided to give it a go too. With low-average expectations... And to be honest, I was pleasantly surprised. From the first two minutes of camera/lighting quality, acting, etc... I knew, that there is something good happening there and now, I'm really happy I didn't pass. It's better than first Outpost and it's definitely better than lots of HIGH budget cinema flicks. I would recommend this film to any thriller/horror fan! Enjoy!

Outpost: Black Sun fmovies. dreadful i would rather have my teeth pulled out by a monkey than ever watch this again.

huge fan of the 1st film its was low budget sure but it had a great cast there were well picked and the style and feel of the film was great very sort of David fincher tight and close it felt like a real place and real bunker a little light on action maybe but the script was simple and enjoyable and you could watch it more than once and happily keep it on the DVD shelf.

BUT this was total junk, full of holes including... some woman doing something is she some kind of war criminal chaser ??? who they hell cares. then some guy joins her is he the bad guy is he the hero who cares. a typical cheap sequel like AVP2 with the over the top army getting involved scenes and poor action and no real explanation for anything at all and why the hell do these zombies now scream like mad ?? i have to turn the volume down on then screaming i don't remember them screaming like 70s bmovie zombies in the last one so what the hells going on. the cast are cheap wannabes to look almost like the last cast and again who cares about them, no character build up no real story as to why anything is going on, and why is there a crazy old zombie lady with a huge rack limping around ? its poor the director will never work again.

a poor poor remake in fact if they had brought this to my house to review i would have hit them with an ashtray.

junk total junk avoid all day long

If you enjoyed the original, then you'll enjoy this to the power of ten!

Catherine Steadman is Lena, a Nazi hunter trying to locate and prosecute the very last of the escaped Nazis from WWII. Whilst tracking down one very elusive figure named Klausener, she becomes embroiled in something much larger. A search for a machine that Klausener built. Everybody seems to be looking for it, from the Americans to Klausener himself. It seems that Klausener was the person who originally hired Hunt (from the first Outpost) to search for the bunker and secure the machine. The machine is important as it creates a "unified-field" that makes exposed soldiers invincible whilst they remain within the field. The machine was first activated during WWII meaning there are undead and invincible Nazi soldiers running around killing everyone in their way. So begins a race against time to get into the bunker and grab the technology. The race is made more essential by the fact that the unified field is growing, meaning the zombie Nazi's can now attack over a wider and ever expanding area.

With that in mind you can already guess that this is Movie-Marmite. If you're up for a film about undead Nazi zombies then you'll love it. In fact this film is without doubt the best in the Nazi-zombie sub-genre. The production values are very high, the mood is tense and fraught with danger and despite the comic book set-up everyone is taking things very seriously. The writing, the acting, the direction... nobody does anything less than 100% commitment. Like the original Outpost you get the feeling that this was filmed on a micro-budget, yet they've somehow managed to make a movie that can hold its own against a Hollywood effort with ten times more cash. The really great news is that the heart that was put into the first movie is evident here too. This is a movie made by people who really care about what they're doing and care about entertaining their audience.

If I have one criticism it's that the film struggles with the weight of it's ideas. There are enough story threads here to make another five movies without running out of plot lines. It's almost as though you're watching a mini-series compressed into 90 minutes. But when compared to most low budget horrors, seeing a film with too many good ideas isn't necessarily a bad thing.

When a civilian outruns a military unit, by showing up earlier at a site that both are heading for ... well to me, that says a lot. But it's not the only thing that is most unfortunate for this movie. A movie that looks more than solid and has actors you may recognize and like. Doesn't change the fact, that you get a by the numbers (at best) story or some silly "twists" at its worst moments.

One of the soldier characters was my favorite, the guy portraying him did a more than solid job and was really outshining the other actors. A downfall (no wordplay here) from the original Outpost, this really is nothing you need to see.
