KUDOS! I have watched Outpost at least 5 times (to me it's addictive). It's an excellent film. Black Camel and the other production companies deserve a lot of credit. The cast/writing/directing were superb.
If Outpost 2 is at least as good as the original you will have a brand that keeps on giving.
All the best for now.

Can't wait, military realism, atmosphere and exotic content matter gave the film real chutzpah!
Taken together with Outlander it made 2008 a really memorable year.
Forgive these films their limited budgets, they have great heart.
