‘OUTSIDE’, Netflix Ph’ 1st zombie feature thriller with drama
By Cynthia Montojo
“OUTSIDE,” succinct zombie flick delivered with Filipino drama tropes. in true Netflix fashion, they would not just give you basic jump scare film that one would expect. Instead, they are offering the film
It is by Pinoy filmmaker Carlo Ledesma, known for his work in both feature films and short films, including “The Tunnel” (2011), Australian found-footage horror film that gained recognition for its innovative distribution method through online platforms.
Carlo is also known for directing several award-winning short films, including “The Haircut” (2014), won accolades at international film festivals.
His work often blends suspense with social commentary, showcasing his ability to create engaging narratives with limited resources.
In “Outside,” he weighs in on idea if skeletons in one’s closet are as scary as horde of zombies dominating outside world. He also maximized cinematography and production with what he had got, which turned out nice. Joining the cast is equally versatile Beauty Gonzales, who plays his wife Iris.
Beauty was that she had zero inhibitions when executing character. She was focused on delivering scenes well with such emotional depth.
Moving along, joining characters of Sid and Beauty in on harsh adventure are sons Josh and Lucas, played by Marco Masa and Aiden Tyler Patdu, respectively.
Kids were also impalpable and it just shows how talent of Filipino actors is top notch. Just keep going on like this in local film industry with casting that goes beyond commercial notion of actor and stick with who fits best for the role, and in this case, it is really Sid and Beauty.
Because of this, their onscreen family delivered intelligible and well-thought-out performances throughout film that made storytelling seamless.
More than anything as well, love how streaming platforms nowadays give importance to churning out original local titles. It entices producers to keep on making films, and it plays important role in preserving and promoting Filipino culture by bringing local stories, traditions, and values to a global platform.
Through diverse genres ranging from historical epics to horror and romantic comedies Filipino narratives gain international visibility, highlighting richness of Philippine history, folklore, and everyday life. These stories foster cultural pride, while also allowing Filipino filmmakers to reach wider audiences.
Netflix Philippines brings Filipino title “Outside” to global platform on Oct. 17.
