“Overlord” mixes pulp style with modern mayhem in a fun way The 1940s war story feel lends a fun atmosphere to the monster take

November 10, 2018 By Noah Richman and Daren Gulsvig Leave a Comment

Noah and Daren share their take on “Overlord”, a period WWII movie mixed with a modern horror approach. They really liked the pulp style story feel, and the modern special effects for the monsters enhanced the atmosphere, and especially the character development.

Daren enjoyed the carnage, but wanted the movie to channel Wolfenstein a little more, but they guys enjoyed the film overall. While it’s not one to take the kids to, it’s one you should check out if you like the thought of crushing zombie experimentation monsters.


With only hours until D-Day, a team of American paratroopers drop into Nazi-occupied France to carry out a mission that’s crucial to the invasion’s success. Tasked with destroying a radio transmitter atop a fortified church, the desperate soldiers join forces with a young French villager to penetrate the walls and take down the tower. But, in a mysterious Nazi lab beneath the church, the outnumbered G.I.s come face-to-face with enemies unlike any the world has ever seen. From producer J.J. Abrams, Overlord is a thrilling, pulse-pounding action adventure with a twist.
