T.D.O. Review, Boards.ie

Kess73
Got this on dvd today, and watched it tonight.
It is a low budget film, but quite well made, and is an interesting film to watch.
Watching it I thought that what was outside was closer to the infected in 28 Days Later, than actual undead, but it is just a slightly different take on the undead.

T.D.O. Review, FEEXBY

The Dead Outside (2009) is described in review quotes on the sleeve as “a seriously creepy zombie apocalypse” and “a side tale to 28 Days Later”, both of which are a bit cheeky and misleading. It’s a low, low budget post-apocalyptic character piece filmed in Dumfries and Galloway. In the wake of a pandemic that [...]

T.D.O. Mention on Film Stalker

Scottish cinema is not all kilts and drugs, and you’ll find that outside of Scottish Screen films actually get made that aren’t cliched, appeal to the current film audiences, and are really good. One Day Removals. for example, or a horror film I saw at the Edinburgh International Film Festival this year, the excellent The [...]

T.D.O. Review, Mathew F Riley

Another twist on the zombie genre – a neurological pandemic has swept the United Kingdom, but those with the infection don’t die immediately, becoming increasingly incoherent, unstable and violent. The infection mutated, went airborne and the government’s so-called vaccine only slowed down the symptoms. The result: the infectious period was extended and the disease spread [...]

T.D.O. Review, Film Stalker

If I’m being honest my hopes for the horror film The Dead Outside were low. Although Scottish film is seeing a bit of a rise in quality and intelligence of late, this did sound like a it had a very low budget and it was also horror, and we all know that whatever country a [...]

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.
