You know we are nearing the end of October when the pace of horror DVD title releases starts slowing down. I guess the powers that be banked on everyone buying horror DVDs several weeks before Halloween. Is that true? Are you folks doing just that, or are you only now starting your Halloween viewing party planning?
Anyway, while this week's bounty includes monsters in the water and in the sky, with mostly direct-to-dvd, TV movies and old re-releases, the juggernaut monster is the one in space with a complete set in one neat package.

Directed by former music video director Kerry Anne Mullaney, the Scottish micro budget post apocalypse horror, The Dead Outside is finally getting a well deserved release on DVD. Following the story of two central characters under siege from “the infected” in the bleak Scottish borders, Outside is a bleak, thought provoking and suspenseful scare flick, so don’t go into this expecting 28 Days Later. But, if you like beautifully shot, in your face psychological horror, this could well be worth a look. The Dead Outside goes on sale Feb 22nd. Synopsis: In the stark aftermath of a neurological pandemic, two strangers come together on an isolated Scottish farm. April, a 16 year old survivor with a dark past has survived alone for months.

A new poster has appeared for the first feature from music video director Kerry Anne Mullaney’s, The Dead Outside. This british micro budget, bleak and in your face horror production goes well to proving the point that don’t have to have a ton of money (though lets be honest, a lot of no-budget horror pics are just down right awful) to make a thought provoking and suspenseful scare flick. Synopsis: In the stark aftermath of a neurological pandemic, two strangers come together on an isolated Scottish farm. April, a 16 year old survivor with a dark past has survived alone for months. Daniel, a man bereaved, clings desperately on to hope of life in the outside world. Questioning his own sanity in the face of the maddened and distant cries of the suffering, he finds that the true enemy lies much closer to home.

Featuring Sandra Louise Douglas, Alton Milne, Sharon Osdin
2009 – Scotland
Its that story we’ve heard before – a virus runs rampant, affecting most of the population. It either turns you into a maniac or a living virus carrier. Either way you’re doomed. Individuals who have escaped getting infected band together and try to survive while dealing with the breakdown of civilization, society, and their own relationships. The Dead Outside, feature debut of Kerry Anne Mullaney, is set in the bleak, desolate frigid rocky landscape of rural Scotland. As if living in a hellhole like Scotland wasn’t enough, survivors Daniel and April must also contend with weird wandering lunatics who have had their brains turned into mush by the infection.

Director: Kerry Anne Mullaney.
Writers: Kris R. Bird, and Kerry Anne Mullaney.
First time director Kerry Anne Mullaney gets up close and personal in this virus plagued run through the Scottish Highlands. Made for a pittance the story focuses more on the characters Daniel, April, and Kate rather than the airborne disease. Also, light on action, until the climax, "The Dead Outside," becomes re-watchable as paranoia turns characters against each other in the battle for a cure.
The plot breaks down like this: family man Daniel (Alton Milne) leaves virus contaminated Borders, Scotland for greener pastures and instead encounters gun happy April (Sandra Louise Douglas) in the Highlands. Partnering up to fight several infected this companionship almost breaks apart with the arrival of survivor and master manipulator Kate (Sharon Osdin) challenging the relationship. The situation comes to a climax when Kate hopes to find a cure, to the virus, by...

Scottish director Kerry Ann Mullaney premieres her zombie feature The Dead Outside in the United States at the Another Hole In The Head Film Festival in San Francisco this upcoming week!
In a stark and terrifying future, a pandemic has transformed the general populace into murderous maniacs. Two of the uninfected, Daniel and April, meet on a remote Scottish farm. In spite of the situation outside the razor wire-encrusted walls of the farm, Daniel is certain there is both a cure and a solution. April has seen too much already in her 16 years on the dreadful and infected planet and clings to horrifying memories and the smoking barrel of her gun. Watch the trailer!...
Daniel has a number of hair-raising close calls with the infected. However, he ultimately finds the real enemy may not be the virus, but something equally deadly. The Dead Outside is a beautifully crafted nightmare within a nightmare.

Presented by the San Francisco Independent Film Festival, the line-up for the 6th annual Another Hole in the Head Film Festival (“Holehead 2009”)—running June 5-18, 2009 at the Roxie Film Center—has been officially announced. Among its 18 films from seven countries are three U.S. premieres (Coming Soon, The Dead Outside and Detective Story) and one World premiere (Someone’s Knocking At the Door). Let’s tackle that quartet first.
Someone’s Knocking At the Door—When Noah Segan was recently in Sf filming All About Evil, we chatted on the set and he talked up the work of Chad Ferrin, particularly Ferrin’s Someone’s Knocking At the Door, which boasts its world premiere at Holehead. Noah generously forwarded me a screener and I have to admit I’ve rarely been so delighted by a movie so depraved. This movie will fuck you to death and have you squealing first in pleasure,...

In horror these days, there are two types of indies: movies you can tell were made on the very definition of a “shoestring budget” that are usually riddled with effects and performances so bad you can’t help but smile, and movies made by those who either had more money or just knew how to use it better along with a serious story to tell. The Dead Outside looks to, refreshingly, be of the latter category. Dig some plot:
It is 6 months after a mysterious neurological disorder lead to a sudden and catastrophic collapse of the population. A botched anti-viral program turned millions of people into carriers, leaving terrified survivors to wander alone- confused, paranoid and violent. Daniel, a man broken and bereaved sets out in hope of building a new life, and takes shelter in a crudely fortified farm in the Scottish countryside. With evidence of recent life, and...

Review by: Mathew F. Riley
Rating: 7 out of 10
A neurological pandemic has swept the United Kingdom, but those with the infection don't die immediately, becoming increasingly incoherent, unstable and violent. The infection mutated, went airborne and the government's so-called vaccine only slowed down the symptoms. The result: the infectious period was extended and the disease spread unnoticed and the virus wiped out most of the misinformed population. Six months later, and the landscape is littered with wandering psychopaths and scavenging survivors.
The Dead Outside has an overwhelming air of purposefully half-explained menace: the virus might still be airborne; touching the afflicted in any way might result in infection; the turned victims are after blood and attracted by noise, so living a quiet life becomes vital to survival. So what better place...
