10 Horror Movies With Nazi Villains

In war-torn Eastern Europe, a group of mercenaries arrive at an underground bunker filled with dead bodies. Realizing they’re in an abandoned Nazi outpost with an armed enemy outside, the team dig in and prepare to fight but what they don’t realize is that the shady contractor who hired them is there to locate a particular piece of equipment – a machine that creates monsters.

Atmospheric, well cast and shot with a desaturated look that adds to the mood, Outpost is one of the best British horror films of the 2000s. Steve Barker’s crisp direction keeps everything moving along at a fair clip and the script eschews absurdity by never mining the material for camp humor. Plus, how often do you get to see Ray Stevenson (Thor, Punisher: War Zone) and Richard Brake (31) fighting Nazis?

Outpost’s success meant that a sequel, the surprisingly entertaining Black Sun (also directed by Barker), emerged in 2012, but it’s a brave viewer who sticks around for the straight-to-DVD Outpost III: Rise Of The Spetsnaz.
