I almost gave it a 1 star
Having just watched this film and still digesting it I can say that the acting is great in the film and the idea is actually a good one. The thing that made me quite angry with the film is that it is just plain stupid as in it got to the end and the plot of the film made no sense to me whatsoever.
If this film was made to be all about the screenplay and very little to do with the plot then it is is worth probably more than 5 stars, however as i suspect that there is meant to be some great innuendo behind this film which i cannot for the life of me fathom without being in the writers head then this film deserves a 1 star.
I am actually a little angry still that i spent an hour and a half watching this but at the same time can appreciate the way it was made...
I don't know anyone that i could recommend this film to personally who wouldn't turn round to me after watching it and call me something not very nice but being a weirdo myself i guess i can empathize with the weirdness of the film?!

Enjoyable Enough, But Not Brilliant
This is a nice little slab of weirdness. Not the best acting, although not bad either. Odd storyline. Fairly low budget. But there are some interesting ideas, and I love the aesthetics of it. A challenging mix of sci-fi, classic war film, horror and psychological drama. No, not great, but it kept my interest until the end and I was glad to have seen it.

What?
This film should NOT be watched by ANYONE, unless you want to completely waste 1 1/2 hours of your life. Put some fresh paint on the wall and watch that dry instead. It'll be more interesting, and at least the end result will be more fulfilling. Fair play to the actors, they did a good job with the script they were given, but just because some psychotropic drug - or whatever - was responsible for the characters going crazy, it doesn't mean that the storyline should make no sense. I was just very disappointed with this film and don't know why it was even made. Please! Will somebody buy me a load of paint. I need some excitement in my life.
Absolute rubbish
After a very stylish and interesting opening credits (which i actually gave the 1 for!) I'm sorry to say that this film is terrible in my opinion. I don't think at any point during the film I had my interest aroused. I kept watching in the hope that it would improve...but it actually got worse! Exploding hares (wtf), spider animation like "morph" from the seventies, a constantly masturbating old soldier (why?)and over the top ham acting from 3 of the 4 main cast members...just plain awful. 90 mins of garbage. If this film had some sort of hidden "meaning" behind it or is meant to make you "think" then I'd love to know what the hell it was supposed to be! Believe me, don't waste your time or your money on renting or buying this.

Starts off so well
This film comes with and interesting premise and a somewhat unfairly low rating.
An intriguing disappointment.
So what for? Well a it's stylish, claustrophobic steampunk romp filmed in pretty much 3 rooms, with occasional use of some great outdoor scenery. Alas it's disjointed and doesn't wrap it's self up at all, yet the spirit is there...
Outpost 11 is completely flawed by the final act that makes little sense. It's however far from total rubbish by proxy of it's ambition.
6/10 for weirdo effort

I can't tell if it was good but weird or weird but good
Spiders, sorta'.
Amyl nitrate or something like it.
Masturbation'.
Exploding rabbit.
Splitting headache.
"James has eaten his own hand."
"What new madness is this?"
"No you're not. Spiders can't use the phone."
And that, my friends, is my review. Personally I think it's worth watching at least once, twice if you've got mind-altering substances.

Should have been better but it wasn't so skip it
Three British soldiers in one small cabin. One is the aloof officer commanding officer. One is the most annoying character trope in film. A very English God Save the King type Sargent. He bullies the 3rd character, a sheepish army private. Nothing happens then something does then you're not sure if anything did happen... skip it

Huh?
We looked at each other when it was finished & said, "Did that even make sense to you?" The reply was "no." The very last scene rewinds to a scene earlier in the film, but that even made no sense in the grand scheme of it all.
The best parts about it were:
One of the characters is very, very creepy. Luckily, I'm pretty sure he was meant to be. But I'm not sure if, in the 50's, there was really stuff you could inhale while you uh.....had your guy "me time". But what do I know about that sort of stuff. Anyway, it was a bit weird.
Other good aspect was it was a bit steampunk, which I like.
The acting wasn't bad.
After watching a lot of random movies by following others, we have decided that any blurb stating "in a remote, isolated........." means "there are 4 of us who decided to make a movie ourselves with no budget on a swatch of land owned by someone someone knows, because someone has access to some film kit"

WHAT, praytell, DID I JUST WATCH?
I kept trying to figure out the plot. The movie is over, and I am STILL trying to figure out the plot. This movie might have made a 2 star movie in the 1950's... maybe. Oh, and how can any review contain any spoilers on this movie? You can't spoil something that is already rotten to the core!

If you're bored; you'll be even more bored after this crap
What a steaming pile. I have no idea what I just watched. For starters I couldn't determine what year it is set in? I'm thinking the 50's but then they watched a videotape? And what was the deal with the spiders? Stupid.
Tense Sci Fi Thriller
It's a modest budget production but there are some great ideas here, good performances and a tension-inducing sense of claustrophobia. A great example of UK indie genre film-making.

Korea & Vietnam psy-ops transposed on to WW1
Unlike any others
One has to wonder if this is simply a British way of descending into madness, as it certainly is a strange movie. "Albert, you must re-hydrate the Omega Core. Oh no, not that!" Graham gets a phone call, and asks who is it and then says 'it can't be, spiders don't use phones." Mason hunts, shots at things and they explode. A frozen man is out in the snow, his head cleaved in half. Is it real, or the result of a psychotropic chemical? It is not a horror movie, but three men in an isolated cold and wilderness outpost, monitoring radio transmissions of the enemy, but really only hearing static. One could say they went bonkers. In many ways it is both boring and intriguing.
