Comments: There's Nothing Out There's claim to fame is that the film does what Scream did (be incredibly self-referential) - only five years earlier. And in that respect, it's a pretty decent and entertaining flick. My main gripe comes from our protagonist, who is the one warning the rest of the cast about how everything is setting up exactly like a horror film. He could be a fun character, but he's actually fucking annoying and a complete asshole. I would not have minded if he got gloriously eviscerated halfway through There's Nothing Out There. Troma put out a great two-disc edition with some great special features also. I'm not big into special features, but I did skim through the set. There's Nothing Out There is worth a watch if you're into this sort of thing. It's nothing great, but it's a fun excursion.
