Just like most bigger budget movies it usually takes me a while to check them out being that I’m not big on movie theaters. I have heard a ton of mixed reviews for this film but I’m happy to say I liked it a lot. This is definitely a horror/action film that brings both in buckets of bloody fun. From the start this movie pulls you in and never lets you go. It’s a nonstop thrill ride of blood, guts  and Nazi corpses. The main characters are very well liked for the most part and you definitely feel for them through this hellish ordeal. The story is killer and really adds a new take on the war action/horror genre. I do see some similarities to another great film Frankenstein’s Army which is a good thing. The special effects are top notch and very well done. They used mostly practical effects for the creatures and very little cgi. The cgi that was used for the bigger battle scenes were implemented well. Overall this movie was killer and really kept my on the edge of my seat. I recommend this film to anyone that likes the horror/action genre. I give Overlord a strong 9/10 🤘🦇🤘
