Spooks director Colm McCarthy makes the leap to the big screen with the Brit horror, Outcast.
Is it a successful transition?
Is it a Guillermo del Toro-style fusion of ancient folklore with the modern world?
Is it a kitchen sink drama with a supernatural edge?
Is it a classic beast on the loose story?
Is it a chase movie?
In another press release revelation, were informed that the first draft ofOutcastwas full of holes.
Aside from the uncertainty of tone, the film also suffers from a distinct lack of tension and pace.
The final disappointment the film serves up is in the area of the beast.
Which, in the final analysis, is probably the best summation ofOutcastas a whole.
