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. The infected are unpredictable, violent, and angry...

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...

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...

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...
