Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.
SeeQuant Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction
mraculeated The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.
coolliegal4 The directing is terrible. Everything is just dull and dark all the time. It's all talk about depressing things and there's no humor in this to take away from the repetitiveness. Horror needs to be fun as well but this second season is such a drag that I'm canceling my Cinemax subscription because I only put it back on for this show but it isn't needed anymore.
kaianmattmckay I found this via the Recommended For You list on my Netflix, possibly because I watched The Walking Dead, and Outcast comes from the same writer. It had me hooked from the start, and in a better way than TWD.Outcast features one of the creepiest soundtracks I've heard in some time, and is situated (in cinematographic terms) firmly in the realm of the southern Gothic. The cast features no "big names", which makes for a welcome change and adds some realism to proceedings. "Gritty" is one word that could describe it. "Chilling" and "riveting" ate others. The only actor I recognised was the Reverend, and nearly didn't recognise him, as he is English but putting on an impressive southern US accent. Also worth mentioning are some star performances from the junior cast members, which serve to make viewing pretty harrowing too.In response to some comments here claiming Outcast is "pro-Satanic propaganda", I would say see for yourself, and you'll realise how idiotic that statement is. In Outcast, the concept of demonic possession is simply a metaphor for domestic abuse, whether within the spousal unit, or from parent to child. In that sense, I think it's quite a clever portrayal of a widespread but rarely discussed social problem.
Jitendra Kotai A Horror/ Thriller should have a fast moving plot and story. Every episode should have something that makes you jump up from your seat. This show is too slow for my liking. There were many episodes where nothing happens for long periods of time and the characters keep having conversations. The Build up never ends and the jump scare after the build up is too abrupt and shown as a flashback.All in all a very good concept but not executed well
Ryan The more I watch Robert Kirkman's out cast the more intrigue it brings out in me. Rare is it to find such a show that is truly unpredictable. Modern television shows are often extremely entertaining and yet predictable. Shows such as Grimm (which I love for other reasons) and the effects that are used great, acting great the premise of the show is excellent, and yet it can be predictable. This does not apply to Outcast. It has a very unique and dark atmosphere which creates and eerie sense of fear in the viewer. Often this created by facial expressions and music. However it is difficult to identify what creates this sense of suspense. However it is clear that is is the purpose of the writers to do so. This aspect of Outcast is something that very few shows can match.It is clear however that Outcast is in it's first season. The story is progressing slowly and for some this will be frustrating. This does reinforce the atmosphere of the show however. Although moving slowly, the story and plot is extremely intriguing and hence, Outcast is a show that should not be overlooked. The writers will continue to determine the direction of the show and as this happens the show will likely become great.
