Overlord (2018)
On the eve of D-Day, American paratroopers drop behind enemy lines to penetrate the walls of a fortified church and destroy a radio transmitter. As the soldiers approach their target, they soon begin to realize that there's more going on in the Nazi-occupied village than a simple military operation. Making their way to an underground lab, the outnumbered men stumble upon a sinister experiment that forces them into a vicious battle against an army of the undead.

It's like a panel of Wolfenstein and Call of Duty: Nazi Zombie players were given $40 million and told to make a B-Movie horror. It's nuts, and quite brilliant.

By the end, Overlord feels, if not greater than the sum of its Frankensteined parts, at least a monster worth mashing.

Don't be fooled by its B-movie trappings: Amid all the carnage, Overlord has more to say than you might think.

Whatever subtext Overlord is going for with its two male leads falls to the wayside in favor of blood and guts, but at least it's endlessly pleasurable to watch them spray all over the confines of a Nazi-controlled experimentation laboratory

Nazi zombies? What could go wrong? Plenty, including making us wait forever for the star attraction.
November 09, 2018
A surprisingly well-made mash-up of old-fashion war movie tropes and proudly disgusting horror-flick shocks. It's a ton of fun.

For anyone who ever wished "Saving Private Ryan" were more of a B-movie splatterfest, "Overlord" is the movie for you.

The world may or may not be ready for a Nazi Holocaust film. Perhaps a better question is: why bother revisiting such vile real-life horrors at all? Pointless "entertainment."
November 09, 2018
Overlord is absurd, but it's fairly entertaining, too.
November 08, 2018
Overlord has a bit of a video-game feel at times, though that just adds to the overall sense of pulpy, gory fun.
November 09, 2018
A slick "Re-animating Private Ryan" mashup that grinds through it cliches at half-speed.

Overlord leaves a wealth of possibilities unmined. One imagines it was more compelling as pitch than finished product.
