Outcast
Directed by Colm McCarthy
OUTCAST is a terrifying thriller about black magic and witchery that stars James Nesbitt (THE HOBBIT), Kate Dickie and James Cosmo (BRAVEHEART). Mary (THE WITCH's Dickie) harbors a dark history, but must confront her past when a hunter with magical powers (Nesbitt) is assigned to capture her and kill her son. As the terrifying cat-and-mouse game continues, locals begin to die at the hands of an unknown creature and a deadly fear takes hold. Combining dark arts with street-level realism, OUTCAST is an underseen UK chiller from THE GIRL WITH ALL THE GIFTS' Colm McCarthy.
A witch must protect her son in modern Edinburgh.
Cast: James Nesbitt, Kate Dickie, James Cosmo, Niall Bruton

Meh. Acting is decent. The world and lore of everything seems really interesting for the story but there's 0 explination for it mostly. the synopsis Shudder uses gives as much story as the movie minus 2 "reveals" which you can see come a mile away. a fun little romp but definitely not repeatable.

Made it about half way. This movie is not for me.
Wasn't for me. To much talking, not enough action. Lame kills. Didn't finish the movie.
Special effects were lacking but the setting (Scotland/Northern England) gave a strange feeling of isolation. Decent acting and interesting concept, but more of a dark fantasy movie than horror. Overall 7/10.
