''Outpost 37'' (aka ''Alien Outpost'') is a 2014 {{mockumentary}} {{war movie|s}}. In 2021 the Earth was invaded by by the alien "Heavies", who were fought off-planet, but left behind thousands of their soldiers. The setting is a [[TheNeutralZone DMZ]] between Pakistan and Afghanistan, where the USDF (United Space Defense Force) has maintained an outpost for a decade after the invasion. In 2033 a camera crew documents three rookies as they join the outpost and the eventual conflict with Heavy remnants.
Interspersed with the {{jitter cam}} and {{spy cam}} footage are interviews with the soldiers and TV news broadcasts to uphold the documentary format. A few thermal and night-vision camera shots also appear, unsurprisingly as it's [[TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture in the future]] when the cameras should be less expensive.

!!This film provides examples of:
* TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture: 19 years, anyways.
* AbnormalAmmo: The red ammo is designed to take out Heavies and has a red {{muzzle flash|light}}. Each round has {{armor piercing|attack}} phosphorous bullets.
* AttackDrone: The outpost has at least one, used for scouting at night, but also has missiles.
* CoversAlwaysLie: The poster and tagline give the impression of a big-budget sci-fi movie.
* {{Energy Weapon}}s: The alien Heavies have some sort of {{Plasma Cannon}}s.
* [[spoiler:ICannotSelfTerminate: Those taken over by the alien mind-control implants beg for death.]]
* InstantDeathBullet: Several throughout the course of the film.
* [[spoiler:NotUsingTheZWord]]: They remain unlabeled.
* SuperToughness: The Heavies required special ammunition to take them out, which was developed only after one of their bodies was acquired and studied.
* [[spoiler:{{Technically Living Zombie}}s]]: After 10 years of tolerating a USDF outpost, the locals suddenly attack it. [[spoiler:But only because they were kidnapped and implanted with mind-control devices by the Heavies.]]
* UsefulNote/UnitedNations: Disbanded and replaced by the United Space Defense Force after the invasion.
* WarIsHell: One of the rookies gets the job of picking up various blown-off body parts for later burying.
* [[ScienceFictionFilms Sci-Fi]] / {{War Movie|s}}: Soldiers versus Aliens.
* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotPolitical: It's not [[UsefulNote/UnitedNations UN]] troops shooting a bunch of locals, it's aliens.
