All opinions are my own. We are all different. What I may think is great, you may this terrible. Don't let my opinios stop you from exploring the vast world of horror in all media.

~Mind Blowing: Search for this movie immediately. It can only be described as pure greatness and possible an instant classic.

~So Good: Highly recommended because for one reason or another it stands out above the usual fair. Put the movie on your radar as it wont disappoint.

~In the Middle: The movie is a nothing special, average affair. It may entertain in the short term but it will be easily forgettable in the long haul.

~Warning: This movie is a cliched driven slop of familiar territory. Only watch if you're really of fan of this type of material.

Outcast (2010)

Starring: Kate Dickie, James Nesbitt
Director: Colm McCarthy

Premise:
A mother tries to hide her son from a horrible secret and protect him from two hunters out to murder them. While on the run, the son falls in love with a girl and a beast is on the loose killing people.

My Take:
While it's fairly predictable to figure out the connection with the beast and it moves a bit slow, there's enough to keep things interesting. Mainly due the eerie air of magic in the story and the strong performances by Dickie and Nesbit.

Rating: In the middle
