Outpost 2: Black Sun is sequel to the 2008 British Nazi zombie horror film Outpost.
The year is 1945, the closing stages of World War 2, and a German scientist by the name of Klausener is working on frightening new technology with the power to create an immortal Nazi army.
Flash forward to present day, and a NATO task force is hurriedly deployed to Eastern Europe, where a sinister enemy appears to be mercilessly killing everything in its path. But this is no ordinary foe. Only Helena, a gutsy investigator on the trail of notorious war-criminal Klausener, accepts the reality of what they are facing, a battalion of Nazi Storm-Troopers, a veritable zombie army on the march.
Review
"Writer/director Steve Barker returns with sequel ‘Outpost: Black Sun’ the follow-up to his 2008 British horror tale ‘Outpost’. With an increased budget, larger cast and overall broadening of the Nazi-based back story what could we expect? The story itself widens our vision from everything that we had learnt from the first ‘Outpost’ in a manner similar to what that of ‘[REC]’ follow-up ‘[REC] 2’ achieved. Bringing us an array of new tidbits and missing pieces of the puzzle and unravelling certain aspects and historical significance to this zombie-esque neo-Nazi mayhem.
An investigator and researcher attempt to hunt down the source of the long dormant German technology that creates an immortal army of Nazis looking to rise again in the form of the fourth Reich. Travelling across Eastern Europe they soon discover clues that lead them closer and closer as well as bumping into the odd undead Nazi bastard with an unrelenting thirst for causing pain and death.
The sequel features a return from the wonderfully sinister and equally mysterious undead Nazi leader Johnny Meres and in addition a welcome cameo appearance from British actor Michael Byrne (‘Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade’) who just seems fated to play Nazis for his entire acting career. The performances are pretty decent all round with performances from our main leads the delightful Catherine Steadman (‘The Tudors’) and ex-‘Coupling’ star Richard Coyle, whose American accent was sadly a little hard to swallow.
As interesting and contained as the first movie was it is good to see a small budget British horror get backing and support to grow itself and develop its roots further." Horror Asylum
