I’ve had Overlord on my list to watch for a while, and regretted not watching it sooner.
It is near the end of World War 2 and the allies are planning their invasion of Europe. A small group of paratroopers are being dropped behind enemy lines to destroy a radar facility. The the soldiers get on the ground they find out the Germans have more than just a radar facility in town. The Germans are working on something terrible, something unnatural.
Sure, this is basically Wolfenstein made into a movie, but it was well done and the writers did a good job not being predictable . Some scenes were set up so you thought the “typical” horror movie scenario would play out, and they left it alone. I respect them for that.
Overlord is an enjoyable movie, and earned a solid 79/100. Where did it lose some points? Honestly, I took a good chunk off because, well, Nazi zombies. The other reason I took points off was there were not hordes. I like at least one good horde in my zombie movies, and this was much more a “super soldier zombie” movie.
Don’t get me wrong though, this is a fun movie, and worth watching.
