Outside is a Filipino zombie horror film directed by Carlo Ledesma. Outside is about a family of four in the Philippines trying to survive a zombie outbreak. The longer they stay in an abandoned house, the more danger comes in instead of out.

The film stars Sid Lucero, Beauty Gonzalez and Marco Masa, Aiden Tyler Patdu and James Blanco. Following the storyline of Outside: A zombie pandemic forces Francis Abel (Lucero), his wife Iris (Gonzalez), and their sons Joshua (Masa) and Lucas (Patdu) to seek safety somewhere in the countryside.

The family moves into an old house that brings back bad memories for Francis, a home where his family used to live, where he had a rather traumatic past. Francis wants to protect his family no matter what. However, as time passes, Francis and Iris face greater problems, and his suspicious behavior puts his family at risk.

This particular article will analyze the cast of the film and the role that the actors play.

Timothy Mark Pimentel Eigenmann, aka Sid Lucero, was born on 12 March 1983. He is one of the actors and models who won the Best Actor Award of the 31st Gawad Urian for the movie Selda.

In the story of Outside, Sid Lucero plays Francis, who flees with his wife, Iris, and their two sons, Josh and Lucas. They leave their town home to escape the outbreak that has turned many people they know into flesh-eating creatures. Francis is terrified, as is his family, so they move to a mansion in the north, hoping it will be safe. But when they arrive, Francis and Iris are astonished when the outbreak hits their new home.

At first, Francis seems to be a very loving father and husband, but later, he becomes increasingly afraid of losing himself. He refuses to move from the villa to a safer place and refuses to face reality, which frightens his wife and children. The protagonist also begins to question his past with his wife, saying that he may not be the father of their eldest son.

Beauty Gonzalez is the name of a popular Filipino actress who has appeared in movies and TV series such as Kampon, In My Mother's Skin, and Pusong Ligaw.

In Outside, Beauty Gonzalez is Iris, Francis' wife. She starts as a typical housewife, leaving her family behind to survive a killer outbreak. With the zombie epidemic wreaking havoc in the area, Iris feels a strong obligation to protect her family and ensure their survival.

Unlike Francis, Iris is more realistic and down-to-earth. Her priority is to secure food for herself and her sons and to leave Francis's parents' villa sooner rather than later—a plan Francis vehemently opposes.

As Francis's mental state deteriorates with the overwhelming reality, Iris tries to keep her mind practical. Her only goals now are to find food and to leave the villa, which Francis sternly forbids her to do.

Joshua is one of the two main characters in the film. He is the eldest son of Francis and Iris, but he is trying to untangle the knot created when he finds out that his biological father is his uncle, Diego.

Aiden's appearance in Outside is as the youngest child of Francis and Iris, named Lucas. When Lucas' family leaves town, the child follows his family.

Lucas is very attached to his parents and brother. He tries to follow their instructions without questioning them. Unlike other characters, Lucas is too young to know about the tensions between his parents. Most of all, he wanted to leave the villa like his mother and brother. It was the tension between his parents that bothered him the most.

James Blanco plays Diego in Outside. He is Francis's younger sibling. Diego appears when Francis, Iris, and the children decide to leave the villa and hitchhike north to safety. Francis discovers that Diego had called Iris, not him, and wants them to make travel arrangements. This brings up old issues that they had suppressed.

Francis is furious with Diego for what he thinks he has done with Iris. The affair began when it was less than certain, but Francis has been angry about it for some time. He still hasn't forgiven his brother.

Diego arrives later with a plan to get Francis out of the villa. He promises to let Francis have his expensive map. Francis does not use the card because he is still angry with his brother. Diego tells Francis to forgive and forget, but Francis lets his anger get the better of him.


Outside is now available to stream on Netflix.
