T.D.O. Review, WFMU
WFMU’s Beware of the Blog
Come see The Dead Outside expecting buckets of blood and non-stop zombie action, and you will be disappointed. The Dead Outside is more the zombie-film equivalent of listening to your favorite Oval LP, which turns out to be not at all a bad thing.

T.D.O. Review, Amazing Movie Show Blog
The first feature from music video director Kerry Anne Mullaney exists in world bleaker and farther north than 28 Days Later, and a little deeper inside the art house. The director makes a benefit of the lack of finance, with gritty visuals and an excellent performance from Sandra Louise Douglas (in her first role), as April, a girl soaked in horror, whose anger may have more meaning than mere teenage angst. The two lead characters exist on opposite sides of a moral divide—Daniel, a good man who still sees the infected as human beings, is haunted (it seems literally in a couple of scenes), by what he couldn’t bring himself to do, whereas April shoots on sight and is almost catatonic from the things she has seen, the people she has lost, and those she has killed.

T.D.O. Review, 28 Days Later Analysis
First time director Kerry Anne Mullaney gets up close and personal in this virus plagued run through the Scottish Highlands. Made for a pittance the story focuses more on the characters Daniel, April, and Kate rather than the airborne disease. Also, light on action, until the climax, “The Dead Outside,” becomes re-watchable as paranoia turns characters against each other in the battle for a cure.

T.D.O. Review, Inside Bay Area
An unusual zombie film in that it delivers its jolts through suspense and style rather than blood and gore, “The Dead Outside” breathes much-needed new life into the increasingly tired subgenre. The picture capitalizes on one of the most universal fears — being left alone — and conjures up a chilling tale of isolation. There are zombies outside but the real drama happens indoors as two former strangers come to terms with what they now mean to each other.
