Outpost III: Rise of the Spetsnaz (2013)

Outpost III: Rise of the Spetsnaz (2013)
 

Plot:  Back in the past an elite squad of hard as fuck Russian soldiers are looking for the "Outpost".  They don't know much about it, unlike anyone who has already watched the first 2 films, which they couldn't as there were no DVDs in the 1940s.



After a quick Nazi killing spree they're captured and taken to the outpost to have dirty things done to them (backdoor probing probably, those sneaky Nazis) in an effort to create super soldiers.  Human experiments that have already created undead monsters.

Is it good:  Its ok Everybody loves a prequel it gets rid of those nasty annoying things, like surprises.  Part III is by far the weakest in the series however it isn't bad it does have great action/fight scenes. In fact The Russian captain Dolokhov (Bryan Larkin) turns out to be a decent action hero.  As the producers mentioned one part of the film is just cage fighting against zombies.  



 Strasser (Michael McKell) puts in a good performance as the sleazy SS officer


Some nice touches of humor and references (like the captain America ref)

The baby killer from Bavaria ---- great character.

Turdige: As an origin story its not great, there is a lot of talk from the Nazi SS officer but more explanation was made in Outpost II of what is actually happening, plus the move is further  from the soldiers shifted out of the physical dimension of the first film to regular zombies action.  The whole thing is basically a zombie escape film and the creepy atmosphere that made the first so good is lost.   

There was a lot to work with but it was kind of ignored, like the Nazi soldiers contemplating that if it works on the Russians then they could be next, but nothing comes of it.  
 
Overall:   The early Nazi Zombie ghost things were rubbish.  Not a bad action movie though.  As they say "Lets go slaughter some fucking Nazis"
