‘Outside’ tries to carve out its own path, but in doing so, it loses touch with what makes the zombie genre resonate in the first place — primal survival and raw human emotions in collision with a world of viscera and chaos.

For a piece of history that, outside of the academe, is not discussed in depth, the film treats its audience to a story accentuated by convincing production design and great performances from its ensemble cast, titular trio aside.
