''Outpost'' is a movie about a team of mercenaries who are hired to scope out an old [[World War Two]] bunker in war-torn Eastern Europe at the behest of a mysterious scientist. It soon becomes apparent that the bunker was a secret research facility into reality-bending experiments done by the [[Those Wacky Nazis|Nazis]]... and that the bunker's last garrison might not be as dead as they should be.
 
Drawing on the sci-fi fanon of urban legends like [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/Die_Glocke:Die Glocke|The Bell]] and the [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/Philadelphia_Experiment:Philadelphia Experiment|Philadelphia Experiment]] this is a remarkably polished low-budget horror.
 
Not to be confused with the [[Outpost 2|Outpost computer games]].

=== This film contains examples of: ===
* [[Applied Phlebotinum]]: [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/Die_Glocke:Die Glocke|Die Glocke]] ("The Bell"), a popular urban legend about a secret Nazi Wunderwaffe.
* [[Ascend to A Higher Plane of Existence]]: The Bell was a machine to remove the unified field from everyday objects - in this case people - allowing them to become immaterial; exactly the same thing that happened to Dr. Manhattan from ''[[Watchmen]]''.
* [[Badass]]: Most of the mercenaries, but especially DC and Prior.
