Outside (2024)

This has just dropped into Netflix and it appears to be a film out of the Philippines. It's a kind-of Zombie muncher but there's not that much Zombie action in it until the last half-hour, when it ramps up and goes bonkers!

The rest of it is quite slow, not terribly well acted, quite atmospheric, I guess, but the background to the characters takes far too long to come out and it's not that critical to know it. I'd say jump into the middle somewhere knowing that it's a family who are trying to survive or consider 'heading north' for some (alleged) sanctuary. (Where have we heard that before?!)

On the way they decide to set up camp at dad's (now dead) parents' house - where most of the action/inaction happens for the rest of the film. It was OK. Most of the budget went on the Zombie body-parts and blood! The last half-hour made it worth the visit!
