Trivia:

When DC pulls out the pistol from its holder in the generator chamber, its sound is identical to Return to Castle Wolfenstein (2001) (VG) when the player swaps weapons. Similarly, when the soldiers emerge from the truck, the slamming noise is the same as in RTCW when the player attempts to open a locked wooden door.

Quotes:

Prior: [to Breather] You see this, this 's a Nine-mil hollowtip. This here 'll push your lungs clean through your spine, make an exit wound big enough to jump through. Now, you're gonna talk, and you're gonna talk to me...

Movie Connections:

Followed by Outpost II (2010)

good brit movie !!!!

I have watched a lot of these types of movies and let me say that this surprised me a lot. I expected a low quality rubbish movie crap effects and crap storyline. I mean i wasn't all wrong but the plus points definitely outweigh the naff.

the story goes as already previous mentioned. merc + team get hired in bar to scope out some remote "outpost" for no "real" reason ( at first ), ah ha i hear u all say that cant be good. To be honest the formula ain't so surprising, but the way it is carried out is typically brit and hence not so bad. As it ends up there are some nice curves towards the "philidelphia ex" and the idea of the unified field theory, but hey its a thriller horror so don't expect too much lol. There was a review to dog soldiers, hostel blah blah blah, if u have seen hostel that is a load of crap it is no where near that kind of crap( i say gory of course, although dear lord why it gets a sequel i don't know ). Almost like the bunker but way better. all in all its a good supernatural movie but without the gross out and actually with an OK storyline that makes it OK to watch.

Anyway this movie wasn't so bad, don't get me wrong its not one i would go pay to see if it were lined up with the biggies "indy, star trek, batman etc", but at the same time i would have paid to see it if it were on par with the off season "a" movies.

I think if u like the genre it is definitely worth the time to see
