Review of OutPost 11

OutPost 11 (2013)
7/10
Korea & Vietnam psy-ops transposed on to WW1
19 November 2013
Warning: Spoilers
I didn't mind this movie, despite the negative reviews elsewhere.

It's not for everyone, I'll agree with that.

3 British soldiers are posted to a wire-listening post in the Arctic, and as nothing much happens boredom and madness are never far away.

A psychotropic weapon is dropped nearby, and the men (in particular Grant) start showing aberrant behaviour.

He suffers from the handy-Andies, which many psychotics do, as it is a massive mental & tension relief process used by psychopaths as well.

The story revolves around how each of the three men, and the class system from they came, recognise and deal with the mind-altering substance that eventually controls their every waking moment.

This film requires a working knowledge of the British class-system, WW1, Korea and Vietnam psy-ops, and a smattering of modern military history, as well as a working knowledge of abnormal psychology.

Although I wouldn't add it to my collection, I did enjoy watching Outpost 11 and how "the madness" crept further into the daily operations of Outpost 11.
