What Outpost (2008) brought with that weird, but kinda interesting - and convoluted, to say the least - plot, Outpost: Black Sun, 4 years later, sort of... tears apart by including generic trends into the mix.

It revolves around most nations aware of what's going on at them forgotten lands and, as usual, wanting to put their dirty hands into that kinky little device that turns soldiers into super soldiers (with the side effect of them acting like a bunch of zombies). In the mix, another expendables, an unexperienced Nazi hunting girl and another engineer are looking for the device so they can save the world.

Some plot twists here and there, but yeah, movie is kinda watchable, if you like B horror movies.

One thing that I never understood is why they could literally survive through years and years as super-ghostlike-soldiers, but they chose to fight bare handed and not bring any of their arsenal with them. No-brainer.

Oh, and that "Star Wars"-ish scene... downranked a solid 4 stars into 3.

Overall, meh entry for the Outpost series. Watch it only if you are up for watching the whole series.

Three words could describe this film, "Zombie Nazi Stormtroopers." Lena (Catherine Steadman) has spent her life hunting Nazi war criminals with her parents. She has one top dog left: Klausener (David Gant). Well it just so happens Klausener has created a magnetic zombie stormtroopers machine and is slowly taking over Eastern Europe. Lena gets caught in a war between the Stormtroopers and NATO.

The soldiers weren't zombies in the modern movie sense, although they pretty much acted like it and meet the definition. The film did not have the scare value of a horror film, but was more akin to an action/war film with zombies. Lena teams up with Wallace (Richard Coyle) to hunt them down.

I am not as excited about this film as I am other recent zombie films because it lacks the horror. The plot, sets, special effects, and acting were all par for this type of production. I enjoyed "Gangsters Guns & Zombies" more than this film. For a really good zombie film check out the new "Night of the Living Dead."

Parental Guide: F-bomb. No sex or nudity.

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.
