Outpost: Rise of the Spetsnaz

good

I thought it wasnt bad.. better than the second, not as good as the first, but definitely made me want there to be a fourth one. Theres still alot they could do and id watch it.

I am familiar with the 1st film in the series and enjoyed it. I had no idea that they made more . Rise Of The Spetsnaz is the third film in the series and is a prequel. This is set in WW2 and has captured Russian Special Forces soldiers fighting zombies in an underground Nazi facility. If you are familiar with the Nazi zombie subgenre of films, it's nothing you haven't seen before. However, I think this was done well enough that I found this to be entertaining. There is a whole lot of good gore and action to be had here , plus the acting and f/x are more than decent. That's pretty much good enough for me.

RISE OF THE SPETSNAZ is the third and thankfully final of the OUTPOST trilogy, which started off so well before descending into B-movie tedium. This one's set in a murky underground bunker throughout, where some Russian soldiers arrive only to discover that evil Nazi officers and scientists have been working together to create some superhuman zombies with a taste for human flesh. It's dull and predictable stuff to sit through, violent and graphic for sure, but without a single likeable character. The photography is okay but a bit too digital for my liking, while the antics that play out are overly familiar and nothing you won't have seen done many, many times before.

I will keep this review short Bad acting bad story and very very boring Even the film poster art work looks like a cartoon joke

Greetings from Lithuania. "Outpost: Rise of the Spetsnaz" (2013) is just what you might expect and nothing more. It gives you exactly what it promises - a gory blood fest with some zombies and specnaz. That's it. Acting is OK for this material, just didn't understood why these zombies always entered to fight like they were professional wrestlers. And how did American, Russian and German communicated? In what language would have they speak and perfectly understand each other? But you don't ask questions like these in a movie called "Outpost: Rise of the Spetsnaz" - you just go with it. Overall, if you a hard fan of the first part (which in my opinion was very cool low-budget B horror / sci-fi / action flick), you might actually enjoy a bit of this installment, and if you have a very boring evening, this flick can do the justice for one time.

Some Russian special forces are captured by the Germans in World War 2 and imprisoned in a large underground bunker where the Nazis are conducting experiments on reanimating dead soldiers. Not quite as good as the first two Outpost movies but if you want 87 minutes of relentless bloody violence then look no further, as this certainly delivers.

The original "Outpost", released in 2008, was a modestly successful hit, but the sequels are - like often the case, sadly - passable and inferior. At least "Rise of the Spetsnaz" is a vast improvement over "Black Sun", which I only watched a couple of months ago and already can't remember anything about. The third reaches the same level of nauseating warfare violence as the first but lacks the element of surprise and the good cast. During the last months of WWII, a squad of the notorious Russian mercenary group known as the Spetsnaz stumbles upon a remote and uncharted Nazi lair where seemingly mysterious experiments take place. Although the Spetsnaz are lot tougher than any other opponents, they're not prepared to battle against outrageous and unstoppable soldiers that were brought back from the dead. "Rise of the Spetsnaz" sneakily copies the exact same elements that made the original "Outpost" worthwhile, namely the isolated setting, a cast full of "heroes" that are already and difficult to sympathize with, showing the Nazi zombies as little and as late as possible in the film, and depicting the Nazi superiors as short-sized but loathsome and arrogant little cowards. What's new here, maybe, is that the Nazis don't restrict their experimental zombie army to former soldiers alone. There's a memorable sequence recognizable by the quote "bring in the child murderer!", and it features a creep who looks exactly like Madman Marz from "Madman" or Buddy Bacon from "Slaugherhouse". In any case, "Outpost III" is full enough of extreme violence and bloodshed to remain enjoyable, but not much more than that.

In this episode the Red Guard encounter the remote location for the Nazi "Lazarus Project" where they create Nazi zombie soldiers. I have seen so many Nazi Zombie films, at one point I started to pull for them. The first half of the film is the capture and experimentation with the Russian (and one American) soldiers as victims for the Nazi body building zombies. The second half consists of the formulaic escape attempt. The Nazi commander smokes his cigarette in a annoying cliche manner. There are "humor" attempts. "Some call it a blasphemous type of alchemy. I call it messy work with lots of mistakes." The color during the prison segment was pretty well washed out apparently by design to give the film a dark and gloomy feel. I felt it just looked cheap. While there are worse Nazi zombie films out there, this one didn't make the grade. Will work as a rental if you are a fan of the series. Parental Guide: F-bomb. No sex or nudity.

Really liked this movie. A great turn to see some proper badass heroes. The violence is raw and fitting, the pace is good, the cast all do a really good job, and I love seeing a turn where the good guys aren't just poor fodder but actually fight back in a truly menacing fashion. Well done, and highly recommended!
