Our Review
“Outpost” embarks on a thrilling journey exploring trauma’s aftermath, with Joe Lo Truglio surprising many with his genre cinema endeavor. While the film attempts to unsettle viewers through its unpredictable narrative, its inconsistent pacing and shaky camerawork can often detract from its core story. Beth Dover’s portrayal of Kate is heartfelt, but the script’s constraints make it challenging for her to fully bring out the character’s depth. Nevertheless, “Outpost” offers an intriguing twist on trauma narratives and hints at Truglio’s potential as a genre filmmaker. It’s a commendable effort, making viewers anticipate his future projects.
