Outside

But Outside takes too long to make its point, and by the time we learn where the director is headed, the amount of zombie limbs, guts, and decapitations we have seen might be too much for us to want to keep watching.

It’s been spectacularly well acted -- this sort of subtlety is almost unknown in horror -- and the two-hour-plus running time zips by.

There are shades of brilliance throughout, as the family-drama aspect manages to outshine the apocalyptic backdrop. The beginning takes far too long to get anywhere interesting, yet the finale is filled with thrills.

Smart Filipino zombie-fest focuses on family, not the shuffling undead.

Outside‘s approach to horror is one of the most effective we see.[...] making us see where the true monsters can lie.

Offers an interesting take on the zombie apocalypse genre by turning its lens inward, trading blood-soaked thrills for emotional dissection and psychological tension.

Outside tries to do something different within typical genre boundaries. But it’s ultimately a long, depressing and generally unpleasant experience.

I have to applaud Ledesma for striking fear into the hearts of bad parents by showing that if this cycle of mistreatment isn’t put to an end, its repercussions can be deadlier than a zombie bite.

'Outside' on Netflix is a zombie horror/psychological horror that gets most of its (horrifying) notes right and leaves you feeling oddly emotional in the end.

The acting is excellent, providing dynamic characters who elicit visceral reactions, and the makeup and prosthetics are disgustingly created, crafting monsters who display a knowing sadness.
