Horror film, set during World War II, in which US paratroopers discover the results of secret Nazi experiments.
Overlord injects a healthy dose of schlock into familiar war-movie tropes to create an entertainingly grungy hybrid, but it never quite kicks into overdrive.
The flick may open with terrifying elegance, but by the end it has descended into a slab of horror schlock that plays more like an unrealized concept for a video game than a movie.
Gripping, blisteringly paced war film, somewhat undermined by its own promotional campaign.
This bizarre and gruesome tale of an allied assault on a church in Nazi-occupied France leaves an unpleasant taste.
The problem here isn’t so much one of taste (or tastelessness), then, as of general incompetence.
