Welcome to Thriller Recapped, Today, I will show you a British war Horror film called Outpost,
Spoilers Ahead, watch out and take care. A group of Mercenaries goes to an abandoned German Bunker,
looking for the lost gold, only to find out they’re locked in
the bunker and there’s no way out. Somewhere near Eastern Europe, Royal
Marine turned Mercenary D.C. is with his team, Taktarov member of Russian Alpha Group. Mackay,
British Army Parachute Regiment. Prior, US Marine Corps. Jordan, Team Medics.
Voyteche, and Cotter from Yugoslav Army. They’re on their way to their next mission.
In Flashback we see, in a seedy bar in a town ravaged by war, scientist and businessman
Hunt hires D.C to protect him on a dangerous journey into no-man's land.
Their mission is to scope out an old military bunker in Eastern Europe for hidden Gold.
D.C. agrees with asking for $5000 for each man per day if they make it out alive.
Back in the truck, Mackay as Mac, claims that there is nothing important located in the area
they are heading to, and the scientist might be hiding something and luring them into something
dangerous. As the mercenaries approach their destination, they hear sounds of fighting off
in the distance; fighter jets pass overhead, and old-style artillery can be heard as well.
Later, as they make their way through the woods an intense burst of static waves
knocks out their radio communications. Slowly, the mercenaries speculate as to
what their job is and why they have been hired. Reaching their destination, the team discoveries
that the location is a seemingly abandoned bunker complex. They decide to leave two of
the mercenaries, Jordan and Taktarov, above ground to watch their backs in case something goes wrong.
The rest of the team fans out and begins to explore the outpost.
Above ground, Jordan notices a flash of light coming from the tree line.
The two mercenaries assume that it is sunlight flashing off a scope and they start open fire.
This causes the rest of the team to come racing back up the top.
Another burst of static is heard over the team’s radio, and suddenly radio operator McKay is
wounded. They go to him and ask him if he saw anyone, but he says he didn’t see anyone there.
D.C. soon realizes that it doesn’t seem like anyone is, actually-out there.
Since, the only shot fired in return was the one which wounded McKay. Later,
Taktarov, who had continued to fire after D.C. ordered a halt, is sent out into the tree line,
in order to check for a body or blood. He returns a minute later to report that there was no sign of
a shooter— no bodies, no blood. Strangely not even shell casings to indicate anyone had been there.
Later, the mercenaries get back to work exploring the bunker; They all scatter so
they can explore as fast as they can. Despite it seemingly having been abandoned for decades they
discover a small modern metal crucifix necklace dangling in a forgotten corner of the bunker.
Locating the bunker’s generator, D.C. and Hunt get to work restoring the power.
Cotter and Mac discover a room filled with corpses and are horrified when an arm sudden shoots up
from the pile of corpses. They immediately call for Jordan, the team’s medic. D.C. leaves Prior to
protect Hunt while he and Jordan race to the scene and begin checking on to the survivor named Götz.
Later, as the lights come on, Prior discovers a room with a projector screen. Lifting it up, a
flag can be seen on the wall behind it. Prior then steps back, revealing the swastika on the flag
used by Nazis. We see Hunt looking at all this. The mercenaries begin interrogating Götz,
who is unresponsive, with Mac being particularly aggressive. The mercenaries assume that local
paramilitaries had used the bunker to hide the evidence of ethnic cleansing. Prior shows them
the Nazi flag he found, and Jordan suggests that there might be a stockpile of Nazi gold,
looted from the nations they conquered, hidden in the bunker.
D.C. orders the rest of the team to prepare defenses for a longer stay,
as they assume whoever shot at them earlier was likewise looking for gold.
Half of the team is outside guarding the Outpost. Mac sets up a command post in a central room,
dropping Götz in a nearby chair, while Hunt begins to go through a set of documents.
He then heads into a back room where he discovers an odd spherical machine known as Die Glocke — an
example of occult Nazi experiments. He reports his discovery to his employers.
Out of boredom, Mac sets up a chessboard on the table between himself and Götz.
Going through a box full of personal effects, he discovers an old German coin. Dropping it,
Mac reaches down to pick it back up.... only to see the jackbooted legs of a pair of men standing
next to Götz. Being afraid throwing himself to the side, Mac readies his rifle, only for there
to be no sign of the two men. D.C. wanders into the room to see Mac lying on the floor,
and is less than impressed. He sends Mac to try and get the radio working again.
Hunt, meanwhile, is working in the room with Die Glocke;
over his shoulder the form of a Nazi trooper can be seen. A noise is heard in the background,
and Hunt heads to the door, but can’t get it open. As he struggles with it, the Nazi trooper
suddenly looms up behind him, Hunt spins around quickly, only for there to be nothing there again.
He is angry, assuming that one of the mercenaries was playing a prank on him.
Later, after realizing it wasn’t mercenaries. He reveals it to D.C, that it was a project carried
out by the Nazis during World War II, they were using reality shifting and reanimation
to create invincible soldiers and sooner the research was abandoned as they lost the war.
Later, additional paranormal events continue to happen to the men in the outpost guarding the
bunker. Mac manages to get the original bunker radio equipment working, initially it produced
scream-like static for few seconds before suddenly switching to classical music that
Nazis used to listen. He then unplugs the ports. Despite unplugging the radio, Mac is unable to get
it to stop functioning before it suddenly shuts itself off making a sound of small explosion.
That night, the clearing around the bunker is suddenly shrouded by an enormous mist,
and shadows of Nazi troopers are seen up on the ridgeline, causing the mercenaries to open fire.
Despite all their shooting, the figures on the ridge don’t seem to be affected,
and an intense windstorm forces the mercenaries to take cover. When they emerge from cover, they
realize that one of the team members, Taktarov is missing. The mercenaries discover that their
claymore land mines are intact, meaning that there wasn’t a way for their enemies to get in close.
D.C. discovers an Iron Cross badge and blood on the ground near Taktarov's position.
Back in the bunker, Jordan shows D.C. the round he removed while treating Mac’s wound—
a German rifle round not in use since the Second World War. The bullet is warped and deformed; the
odds that it could have been fired from a rifle are slim. D.C. drags Götz into an interrogation
room and threatens him with a pistol; he still doesn’t speak, but he clearly snaps out of his
unresponsive mode, indicating it may have been act all along. D.C. demands answers regarding the
assignment from Hunt: an unnamed corporation wanted Hunt to find and recover a large
generator-like device responsible for the Nazi reality-shifting experiments. Hunt thinks that
the German experiments with the nature of reality trapped them within the area around the bunker.
Nazis created a serum that would keep the brain cells active even after being shot in the end and
make an army of the soldiers which is like captain American but in a darker way, and that those cells
might have been activated when they started the Machine. Upon hearing all this D.C is not ready
to lose more men in this bunker and asks to leave immediately but Hunt reveals that his employers
have contacts in Interpol and if the team tries to leave early hit men will be dispatched to go
after the mercenaries’ families, as well as his own. D.C. is raging out and says he lied to them,
and they won’t protect him anymore, also says he didn’t bring his team to die here, and they
would rather die outside fighting with real men he hears someone screaming and then he leaves.
Above ground, the team hear that , Taktarov is brutally tortured by the undead soldiers,
they stabbed him multiple times and poked his eyeball with a bullet
killing him brutally; Back in the bunker we see Hunt getting a response from his
employer that they won’t be able to send backup for next 72 hours.
a short time later, as the other mercenaries discuss their pasts and keep watching the Outpost.
Voyteche, who is off on his own on the other side of the perimeter, is targeted by undead, they
sneak behind him silently and put a deep knife in his mouth killing him brutally and silently. The
next morning, We see Voyteche and Taktarov's dead bodies are found joined at the head,
with Taktarov's skull containing a spent round. At this point, the second killing is the final chance
for D.C. Despite the threat of Hunt’s employers, he decides to leave the bunker. However, Hunt
protests vehemently and returns to the generator room, with D.C. sending Cotter to retrieve him.
Cotter reaches the generator room and ignores Hunt’s dire warnings to try and get him ready
to leave. Suddenly, we see that Hunt freezes and stares, as undead soldier emerges behind Cotter,
noticing Hunt’s reaction, Cotter orders him to run as he draws his knife but undead buries
an axe in Cotter’s chest. The undead soldier then crushes Cotter’s skull and killing him.
Hunt snatches up Cotter’s assault rifle, mercenaries fire several bursts into the
soldier’s back, which only seems to irritate it, and it vanishes as they fire at it.
Later, Hunt shows the surviving mercenaries the tape of the Nazi experiments.
Jordan notices something and now It is revealed on the tape that Götz is a surviving Nazi Brigadier,
and the man responsible for running the experiments at the outpost. Upon seeing
that an enraged Prior goes and shoots him in the head. After Prior kills Götz, the "Brigadier"
comes back to life almost immediately. Then, the lights go out, and we see Mac is missing.
Shortly after that, the team discovers his corpse at the bunker’s entrance. D.C and Hunt then,
makes a plan to restart the machine so they can neutralize the powers of the undead Nazis
and trap them to evacuate the outpost.
Later at the nigh time, the surviving mercenaries sees the undead army rising, now led by Götz.
As per the plan the mercenaries slowly lure all the undead Nazis into the bunker,
using the narrow confines to buy themselves time. However, Prior delays too long in retreating down.
unfortunately, he is overpowered but he manages to finish off a few of the undead soldiers before
being killed himself. Shortly after, Hunt manages to get Machine working, and finally we see it
setting off a shockwave which seemingly disables the attacking the army of undead soldiers.
The soldiers fall to the ground, as how they should be. However, few moments later the
unstable machine promptly shuts down again and the soldiers get back to their feet.
Then we see that Jordan is pulled down a side corridor and killed. Then we see that
D.C. tries to buy time for Hunt so that Hunt can escape through the bunker’s ventilation system,
but sooner he is surrounded and overpowered by the undead and killed after a heroic last stand.
Meanwhile, Hunt makes it to a set of doors to an upper level of the outpost,
but only to be confronted by Götz and his men blocking his way.
Then, Hunt is pulled down from behind and killed. A second corporate team arrives 72 hours later to
carry out the same assignment, only to find a "survivor" among the piles of naked corpses.
The woods are lightened again, revealing the illuminated soldiers surrounding the bunker.
In the distance stands the Brigadier, who gives the Nazi soldiers a nod and
they begin their assault on the team. And the movie ends, let me know if
