A few years ago I came across a movie that was set during WW2, but it was a horror movie with zombies. I had heard about this movie beforehand, watched the trailer and thought “Well, that’s not gonna be any good.” and I had already been incredibly disappointed because this movie was at one point going to be connected to The Cloverfield Universe, but it ended up being it’s own thing entirely. But after watching it, I found my expectations were entirely flawed, because not only is this a great movie, but it works far better being a standalone film rather than being connected to any specific universe. This film I’m talking about is of course, Overlord.

I remember when my brother and I went to go see Overlord back in 2018 when it first came out , our theater was completely empty it was just us and we had a blast watching this movie this movie kicked ass and I wish this movie did better at the box office because this movie is severely underrated

A big regret of mine is that I didn’t see it in theaters! One of my favorite guilty pleasure movies to watch I think it’s severe underrated. I think if it had the Cloverfield name attached to it it might’ve done slightly better, but people would also probably not like it as much because it’s not your typical Cloverfield film.

This film might be the closest thing we get to a Wolfenstein movie, but saying that this film works fantastically on its own. I love it, and I hope more WW2 horror films like this get created, like Frankenstein Army and Deathwatch, I'd pay good money for that genre.

Watched Overlord a couple years ago with the family and man, it was so much better than what we all expected. We got into the movie just knowing it was a WW2 movie with zombies, literally nothing else. We didn't know what kind of zombies, I was actually the only one who even watched the trailer. So when the resuscitation scene came... Wow. It was so well made and perfectly shocking, we were all sitting there, glued to the screen. This is a great underrated movie, much like Upgrade or Radius, both films I love but no one seems to talk about.

The movie is rewatchable as hell. After viewing it, when it went to streaming, I instantly liked it. I love how it bends the genre. Starting as a straight WW2 film, and half way through, changing into a zombie/sci-fi flick. As campiness bleeds into the second half, it has a great one and done quality. I can’t describe it, but it feels like an old school 80s flick. Something that you just get a good feeling from it. Even though it is horror.

I think another piece that makes it such a great movie to watch is they didn’t cheap out in the costume department. All the uniforms and outfits worn by the characters are appropriate to the time and context of what they’re portraying historically. The Kit the Americans are wearing are exactly what you see the real guys of the 101st Airborne wear on D-Day. The Airborne’s uniforms were very different to what the standard army wore in WWII. And I’ve seen WWII B Movies in the past like ghosts of war that just slap random pieces of kit onto the actors and call it a day. The majority of what you see them wearing in this movie is correct and correlates to the historical events they’re based around, which I can guarantee you makes many historians very happy!

This was the most fun I’ve ever had in a movie theater. Totally agree with everything in your video! I actually still think it’s apart of the clover field universe. The tar is what’s used in the super serum and I think it could be super easy to tie those affects to the sea nectar from the monster. Maybe there’s one buried under the ground and that’s why the tar is bubbling up! Totally just a theory and I know the movie was “confirmed” not apart of the universe, but I like to think it is:)

I remember walking out of a movie with my dad so many years ago and we saw the trailer for this being played on one of the screens outside where you buy the tickets. Hells Bells in the trailer made it seem to cool to us but sadly, maybe like a lot of people we just didnt get around to seeing it. Ended up watching it a few years ago on netflix, it was actually so good and very enjoyable, its a movie, movies have flaws but this still felt like such a fun watch, regardless.

@@RickytickyBobbywobbin-jl5oy in many instances zombies were created to be used as a weapon of super soldiers that can be controlled. The Nazis having maintained consciousness and the ability to talk after the mutation/curse whatever the premise may be is just a plus for whoever gets the good without the bad basically. Resident evil does this on multiple occasions. Smart zombies just vary by intelligence and how the body took whatever contagion. Sometimes the benefits only last for a bit and they still die and change into a traditional undead zombie

I loved Overlord so much it had me at the release of the trailer already. I got to watch the movie like a year later but it was definetly worth it. Just look at Overlord's "zombies". The design of the infected make the movie in my opinion a 5/10 by itself and then you got the setting, each characters, villain etc. etc. I watched the movie like 6 times now and it just doesnt get boring tbh.

I was saw Overlord without ever seeing a trailer or even hearing about it. I was supposed to see something else but the tickets were sold out to the other movie and not wanting to cancel our plans it looked like a WWII movie from the random promo poster. The movie started 5 minutes before but we just went anyway. I’ll tell you what, expecting a completely different movie and getting a horror is one of the best experiences honestly. I’m a huge horror fan and I couldn’t shake the feeling that the movie was “filmed like a horror” and had a horror soundtrack but I just couldn’t confirm it until it reveals itself. It had its standard action shot and it’s environment pans, then it would switch to a creepy bird eye where the squad is being watched, or the eerie doom shot where the audience knows something is lurking but the protagonists don’t. Over all amazing imo

I hope this will become a classic in the future, it was absolutely good, I watched with zero expectations and I guess that also helped on my enjoyment, hope more people will know and appreciate this movie

this movie flew under everyones radar. the scene where the soldier first sees teh subjects in the lab was awesome reminded me or survival horror games like silent hill and early resident evil.

Great movie! I agree with all of your points about it. Nothing groundbreaking, but thoroughly entertaining.

Overlord kicks total ass and I absolutely love it. It's such a tragedy that it didn't perform very well in the box office, since my god, it is one of my favorite movies of all time. Sure, it's not groundbreaking by any means, but my god, it's so insanely fun. The characters are super well-written and performed, the effects are fantastic, everything about the film is excellent. Absolute hidden gem. It'd make a fantastic Wolfenstein spinoff game, I bet.

I think the fact that J.J. Abrams pushed for this film to be largely made with practical effects instead of relying on CG is what made this movie work as well as it did. Even the "zombies" were practical effects and prostethics. I think the main thing that holds this movie back is the ungodly amount of lens flares. Ya know, now that you mention it, I now hold the headcannon that John Walker from The Falcon and Winter Soldier series is a relative of Corporal Ford from Overlord, and the something about their DNA is what allowed Walker and Ford to survive their respective "enhancement" serums.
