This is a terrific low budget film, that satisfies as a zombie film and a horror film. Although low in budget the director is clearly talented, with a background in music videos I believe, and there is nothing amateur about the framing of the shots.
The cast was unknown to me, but again seem credible and believable in their characters. The film builds a real sense of dread, alomost as if it's more influeneced by Roman Polanski's Repulsion, rather than say the 28 Days Later series. The bleak, atmospheric Scottish setting is a welcome change from the usual urban nightmare.
This is recommended viewing for people who like their zombie films with a twist. A companion piece to the recent Pontypool, and I suppose the recent remake of The Crazies. If you want a new horror dvd, you could do a heck of a lot worse than this!

I've watched many zombie films - seen some real rubbish. This is defanataley one of my favourites. Obvious made on a low-ish budget, but doesn't suffer from the same clunky camera work, editing and acting as some other recent films like Zombie Diaries and Autumn. Talking about Autumn this film is very close to the story line from the book Autumn. So if you liked that book watch this film.

Six months after an outbreak of a neurological virus that became a pandemic, Daniel(Alton Milne) is driving alone through the countryside of Dumfries, when his car runs out of fuel. He comes across an isolated farmhouse, where he discovers another uninfected person, young April(Sandra Louise Douglas) who shoots first and asks questions after. The two are initially very wary of the other's motivations, but start to become reliant on eachother. Then one day, a woman called Kate arrives at the farm, seemingly unaffected by the virus and looking for shelter. Meanwhile Daniel starts to wonder why April, who has been in close proximity to those who had caught the virus, should remain so healthy.
This low budget British horror is a very worthy addition to the genre. Making '28 Days Later' and its kind look like Comedy Playhouse, this is a dark,brooding,contemplative piece, as much a character study into loss, bereavement and isolation as it is an outright horror. Thats not to say that it doesn't deliver its fair share of chills, as the main characters are figures on a very dark canvas, the circumstances of the outbreak forcing them to carry out terrible acts in order to survive. This is especially the case for April, very impressively portrayed by newcomer Sandra Louise Douglas, who lives in a sort of motioness state of being on the farmhouse. Daniel too has a very dark skeleton in the closet.
I'm going to whisper this quietly, but I can see this becoming a bit of a cult film over the years to come. An excellent film that belies both its lack of budget and its lack of pretensions to shine out brightly in the world of the 21st Century British horror film. 5 out of 5

Awful just awful
I wish I'd read all of the reviews before purchasing this film. I'm so thankful it only actually cost me £2.99 but if i'm really honest it wasn't even worth that price! Read more

good cinematopraphy
This is indeed a fine movie & worth your while. But if you are looking for real horrors scares this is not the place go. You tend to concentrate on the images after a while ...

Low budget horror
A very tense film with a number of good jump moments. Only slight problem is the editing speed on some of the flashbacks. Read more

The Dead Outside is truly an awful film from start to finish. It is hideously boring and nothing really much happens. Read more
