Overlord (2018)




"Wolfenstein" meets... honestly, I don't know what it meets, and I didn't actually play any "Wolfenstein", but "Overlord" seems to be very close in genre. A paratroopers platoon is sent somewhere in Normandy, a bit before D-Day, with a precise mission to bomb a relay installed by Germans on top of a church, in order to make room for the Allied invasion. Barely making it, after surviving the plane getting on fire, the bullets on the ground and the mines, three privates and a corporal make it to the village near the mission target with the help of a local girl. Obviously the place is filled with enemy troops. While the new platoon leader plans the attack, one of the other soldiers sent to scout the area finds that the location hosts much more than a radio relay. It's a secret lab for producing nazi zombies (bingo! we can add "Dead Snow" after meets). Overpowered nazi zombies more precise, which to be even more accurate they aren't necessarily zombies (so, well... not exactly "Dead Snow"). That's pretty much the subject of the movie - a sort of light action horror. It's not actually bad, but I've seen better (e.g., "Dead Snow"), or much better (e.g., "Dead Snow 2" :P).

Rating: 3 out of 5
