Overlord Reviews

It cruises the line between war and horror somewhat giddily before finally setting on B-movie thrills and tone by the last third.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 14, 2024

Overlord is a good movie but had potential to be much better and definitely more fun.

| Original Score: C+ | May 9, 2024

While the trailers scream horror, “Overlord” packs just as much period war-time action and suspense.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Aug 24, 2022

Audiences looking for a good time at the movies will find themselves surprised that they're getting something more, and it's a higher level of quality than Nazi-zombie fare has ever received, or perhaps even deserves.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Mar 8, 2022

Seems destined for cult status, though it's not hard to wonder how much stronger it would be if it stuck the landing.

| Original Score: B | Aug 20, 2021

There are sophisticated storytelling touches...

| Original Score: 4/5 | Apr 29, 2021

Overlord is a serious, scary, fun and gory sci-fi horror adventure. Good job I don't like my war films too real!

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Feb 2, 2021

A fun supernatural military flick with great looking action and even better-looking gory faces, Overlord will definitely satiate your action horror craving.

There's plenty of entertainment to be found in the undead mayhem, even if it could have benefitted from slightly more comic relief.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Dec 7, 2020

Overall, I enjoyed Overlord, even if I saw the limitations and overload of its action and excess become clearer as hour #2 unfolded.

It was a fun ride... I just don't think it's for me.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Oct 26, 2020

An unexpected genre blend - serving as part war drama and part zombie thriller, which reinvents the idea of the "living dead" into something we haven't quite seen before.

You'll laugh, you'll squirm and you will be thrilled!

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 28, 2020

It mostly juggles its inspirations instead, and its central conceit . . . is a trashily fun if not completely original gimmick, but it takes too long to show up.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jul 25, 2020

B-Movie quality it is, which undoubtedly suits its tone. But it does beg the question, is it truly time to bury the Zombie genre?

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 24, 2020

Overall, Overlord is a smart film that blends war and horror together effortlessly, resulting in a truly terrifying experience.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jul 24, 2020

Overlord delivers exactly what you are expecting. Nothing more; nothing less. And that's quite alright if you're looking for a horror-flavored action adventure.

Director Julius Avery seems to care too little about the narrative decisions of the typical plot of soldiers on a mission. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 4/10 | Jul 18, 2020

The film has no interest other than pushing the B-Movie, action/horror limit for utmost entertainment.

| Original Score: B+ | Jul 9, 2020

The nazi zombies are absolutely terrifying and the nazi laboratory is like a house of horror with disgusting surprises awaiting you at every corner. [Full review in Spanish]
