As the summary indicates this sequel was derivative completely uninspired. Outpost 1 was a well crafted low budget horror with suspense, atmosphere and somewhat likable characters. Although the original was a B movie, it had aspirations to be much more than that - and on occasion it achieved greatness. It was like watching a young John Carpenter at the height of his powers.
The sequel was a bad idea. Shabby acting forgiven, we find ourselves in the same locations doing pretty much the same thing as the first film. The same bunker set is utilised - although this time we find a 'secret elevator' to a new chamber.
The scenery of 'Eastern Europe' was clearly filmed in the UK, they got away with this before, but this time it's very obvious.
The director tries to give a sense of a larger scale - with a nazi zombies apocalypse looming. The American Army have been sent to dispatch with the problem, however the budget doesn't really allow for such spectacle and it looks more like a 'sci fi channel presents' affair.
I was saddened by this movie as the director showed such promise from his efforts in the first film. What we have here is lazy and unimaginative. What's needed is a whole new movie concept - not a sequel.
