Interesting facts

Outside is a 2024 Philippine post-apocalyptic horror drama film written and directed by Carlo Ledesma. It stars Sid Lucero, Beauty Gonzalez, Marco Masa, and Aiden Tyler Patdu. The film tells the story of a family trying to outrun a zombie outbreak by returning to the father's childhood farmhouse.

Production

Carlo Ledesma cited family dramas and post-apocalyptic films such as The Day After and the Mad Max franchise as his inspiration for the film.

Beauty Gonzalez and Sid Lucero were confirmed to be part of the film in a press statement on a streaming platform on October 11, 2023. While Outside overtly tackles a zombie apocalypse, the production theme intended to incorporate mental health as a theme. Among these is generational trauma.

Principal photography was held in La Carlota and Kabankalan, Negros Occidental, the home province of Ledesma, Gonzales and Lucero. A Filipino-style mansion and a sugarcane farm were specific shooting locations. The film is 142 minutes long and was billeted by Netflix as its first original zombie film set in the Philippines.

Filming lasted around a month and was hampered by weather conditions. The zombies were portrayed by residents of the province in makeup. The zombies are capable of speech with the director intentionally not wanting them to be portrayed as "mindless monsters".
