The Outing has all the conventions of a low-budget horror film: overacting, cheap special effects, harsh lighting and nude teens, to name a few. Worst of all, its story is laughable and largely derivative. Go to Full Review

"The Outing" is a serviceable, somewhat middle-of-the-road '80s slasher with its supernatural leanings and uniqueness of location the two key differentiating elements. Go to Full Review

nick S @Nick_S 2d The SFX was really awful. However, a lot of the practical effects not involving SFX were actually pretty good. I thought the acting was above average for this genre. The actors put in an admirable effort in many of the action scenes. If horror is your thing this is probably worth watching. Derivative fare but it had it's moments. See more David R @RT19091626 10/17/2024 Low budget. Bad acting. Goofy "genie/djin;" apparently a practical (18 ft talll?) monster with blurred camera and lighting work and unintelligible speech to ineffectively mask how goofy it looks/sounds. If you want this concept in a decent b-movie, I'd recommend "Wishmaster." Still, this was (predictably) fun, if you like this sorta thing. See more 05/12/2019 A story about what happens when teens plan an overnight stay at a museum (without adult supervision) and someone unleashes the spirit inside of a magic lamp by accident. No carpets, just a magic lamp in this one. The beginning may pique your interest and then leave you feeling piqued by the rest. See more 06/10/2017 This movie has some bad acting! Cartoonish effects! If you like bad horror movies, then you'll love this. See more 03/14/2017 This could have been good, but was marred by bad acting and a bad resolution. The idea of the jinn was good, and the prop for the lamp was actually quite good. See more 01/05/2015 A watchable (yet forgettable) horror film about the supernatural mayhem unleashed when some dumbass kids release a spirit from a brass lamp, as if they've never heard of the curse of the djinn.
