Overlord Reviews

Even though I can just edit reviews I feel that this film can get its own spotlighted review revamp. Bear with me:

I watched this film a few years ago based solely on the audio effects used in the trailer. Weeks prior, a friend and I had watched a trailer for (what I think was) Kong, wich featured some portions of music overlayed over reloading, gunfire, and animal running noises. The concept of musical/dramatic pauses synced up with the trailer was so cool to us that we went down this rabbit hole of satisfying trailers that achieved the same principles well. Finding the overlord trailer was like a goldmine. I don’t think we even looked into the premise. I believe the technique is called Mickey-Mousing, and as stupid as it might have been, the “hits” of it in trailers completely dictated what movies we binged and anticipated. Even the shitty ones were good if the overlay was brilliant. Lucky for us- the film was great as well. The body horror wasn’t all over the place but whenever it was on screen it didn’t disappoint. While it’s not the most complex film ever, the premise was straightforward and interesting the whole way through. If you’ve made it this far and are still searching for a push, I really do recommend it if you’re not put off by wartime adjacent films. Stunning visuals, great attention to detail and wonderful cast. I hate how the word “badass” sounds as a descriptor but i feel like if i was a southern father with a motorcycle that’s what id probably say.

Actually the cgi or vfx used in this was very well done!! Would be mf scared.

Excellent crazy Sci Fi

Hella scary one of my fav movies ever

I wouldn’t pay money to watch that again but it wasn’t bad

More than I expected

Cool twist. A basic movie with a budget and cool theme.

fun watch

This was such a flippin cool movie, the plot, the VFX and then THE “ZOMBIES” dude sooo cool I was hooked the second I started the movie. I recommend this 9/10

BLEW MY MIND. Literally from the start until the end I was locked in. I’ve been wanting to see this since it dropped in 2018 and finally got around to it, and it was the perfect time to watch it. So many great things about this like the lighting, acting of course, the MUSIC WAS AWESOME, the zombies were so interesting and unique, etc etc etc.

Well done, I will be watching this again for sure 🔥

How it feels to chew 5 gum

very cool idea. pilou played the villain very well.

I absolutely loved this movie. Reminded me of wolfenstein as a movie, and had some aspects that reminded me of The Thing. Definitely recommend if you love war and horror movies!
