On the eve of D-Day, American paratroopers drop behind enemy lines to penetrate the walls of a fortified church and destroy a radio transmitter. As the soldiers approach their target, they soon begin to realize that there's more going on in the Nazi-occupied village than a simple military operation. Making their way to an underground lab, the outnumbered men stumble upon a sinister experiment that forces them into a vicious battle against an army of the undead.

Great idea but it could be more then a simple action flick but it's good enough

Well executed B-movie mayhem. The overall plot is a tad predictable, but the movie knows what it is and instead aims for finding slightly different takes on the sequences you'd expect.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

It's a rare blend of war film and horror picture that really works. Overlord is full of violence, grotesque imagery, and classic Nazi villains. Gone are the expansive battlefields in place of close-quarters combat. The third act showcases the heroes fighting what are essentially zombies in underground tunnels. Nestled within the carnage is a gripping narrative about the brotherhood amongst soldiers and the atrocities they face. This war-horror movie ought not to be missed.

Solid but not nrly as dark as it needs to be. Ignoring all the lazy anachronisms it's a good story, but descends into silliness in the last 1/2 hr. If you've nothing else to watch, go for your life.

It escalates slowly, it builds, and then when you get to the final third of this film once the horror elements break out it's a thrill ride.

Overlord is to fact as Churchill was to sobriety, or Trump to modesty.

Enjoyable...I didn't care about a single character in this movie, and I didn't care who got blown up...I didn't feel invested, but it was action-heavy enough and well-acted enough to appreciate...once it commits, it's really entertaining.

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

Rated: 3.5/5

Deep Focus Review

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.

Rated: 3.5/4

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