Shut up stop commenting on this leave me alone

Takes a bit too long to get rolling but once it does it's very silly and very, very wet. There's real glee in the splatter. With so much genre cinema lately seeming like a long episode of "Black Mirror", it's nice to see one that's a bit more "Tales From the Crypt".

While the film itself doesn't quite utilize its ingenious zombies-in-WWII premise all the way through, Overlord nevertheless makes for a rather exhilarating and more than capable enough action-horror outing that blends action, horror, and war elements to a fairly well-made degree here, and undoubtedly offers a plentiful amount of unabashedly copacetic blood-soaked set-pieces throughout with some relatively worthwhile and engaging characters on the side.

This was very fun....or I mean the last 30 minutes were. The rest wasn’t bad by any means, though I will say the dialogue was god awful in some scenes (nothing more generic than a good ‘CAN SOMEBODY PLEASE TELL ME WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON HERE.) But yeah, after getting through the end I was kinda bummed that so much potential was wasted for the first 2/3 of this. But to highlight some positives, BIG shoutout to whoever did the sound design as well as hair and makeup. This SHOULD get some Oscar recognition for sound mixing IMO but I’m doubtful. Anyways, very glad I caught this in theatres.

A.V. Club review. Nothing in this got nearly as visceral a crowd reaction as did our collective realization that we were (on first attempt) mistakenly being shown Bohemian Rhapsody. A few people who'd seen it knew right away, thanks to the modified Fox fanfare (shredded on guitar), and then at the first sight of Malek the whole theater exploded, in a way that I don't think would have been as emphatic had it been, say, A Star Is Born.

Definitely fuckin' better than Cloverfield Paradox.

A no-nonsense, rip-roaring great time that never holds back on the red stuff and cuts right to the chase, Overlord is both a hugely entertaining war thriller as well as another shining sign that 2018 has been a phenomenal year for horror, with gorgeous cinematography, flawless sound design, fun characters, excellent performances, haunting atmosphere, intense action scenes, and a fast-paced story rich with interesting ideas that are executed mostly very well.

Ultimately pretty boring, with an uneven mix of standard wartime adventure and B-movie body manipulation, never fully reconciling into a single whole. Looked pretty shitty too, with many opportunities for atmosphere squandered by exhausting handheld and messy cutting. Still, a bunch of nazis get blown to shreds and there's a gooey scientist lab, so that's neat. Ends with a Nas song. It's fine.

Quality Nazi killing. Could've used even more, though.

also wyatt russell is too good for us, we don't deserve him

also (x2) props to pilou asbæk for seamlessly transitioning into the next phase of his career i.e. cartoon european villain

I liked this a bit more on a second watch, still wish it was more of a zombie movie, was expecting more zombies but I enjoyed when they showed up, this movie kind of reminds of an anti-Captain America movie or it had some potential there

Totally underrated!

Loved it when I first saw it in theatres, and after multiple rewatches I can confirm that it still absolutely slaps.

It starts off fairly slow and generic, but as we dive deeper into the twisted world of Overlord, things get dark and exciting.  Some of the imagery is deeply disturbing and quite shocking, the action is hard hitting and brutal, and I was pleasantly surprised by the main cast and their performances!  None of them are A-list actors, most of them unknown or barely know, but they really did impress me.  

It certainly isn’t the “Call of Duty: Zombies” movie everyone was expecting, it’s inner workings and deep dive into the endless rumours and theories of nazi experimentation is much more sick and twisted than a run of the mill zombie flick.  Meaning that what we got was a hell of a lot better.

Damn good movie, deserves a lot more love than it gets!

Was ein geiler Film. Die Action ist super, die Geschichte spannend und die Figuren interessant. Was will man mehr? Es gibt für Gorefreunde auch eine Menge zu sehen, aber nicht so viel, dass es sich zu sehr darauf ausruht. Für jemanden, der mit reinem Gore nichts anfangen kann, war es hier perfekt untergemischt.

Eine große Empfehlung für Fans von rundum gelungenen Filmen!

Very fun, very well done. This ain’t gonna change your life but it’s not going to make it worse. Great cast.

Guns, Nazis, blood, gore, zombies... what more could you ask for?

This film has a dark uncomfortable feel with gory imaging and uneven pacing. The twist is probably predictable, but the settings and atmosphere are on point.

Hostia, qué guapo este live action de Wolfenstein.

Nazis y zombis es como Coca-cola y pizza. Da igual que sea Coca-Cola de marca blanca y pizza Tarradellas... es una combinación ganadora lo mires por donde lo mires.

hey it’s Kurt Russell’s son

Nobody warned me this would be pure nightmare fuel...watching this late at night was very bad decision-making on my part 😳

Incredible! How did nobody see this, how was this not a massive sleeper hit? I get “don’t look stuff up just go in blank” flicks are hard to market but god damn. “Subverted my expectations” doesn’t quite cut it.

Wyatt Russell channeling some real Kurt circa Carpenter days energy but in this house we stan John Magaro.

SO so so gory. SO gory. Phew.
