On the eve of D-Day during World War II, American paratroopers are caught behind enemy lines after their plane crashes on a mission to destroy a German Radio Tower in a small town outside of Normandy. After reaching their target, the paratroopers come to realize that besides fighting off Nazi soldiers, they also must fight against horrifying, bloody, and violent creatures that are a result of a secret Nazi experiment.
Whatever subtext Overlord is going for with its two male leads falls to the wayside in favor of blood and guts, but at least it's endlessly pleasurable to watch them spray all over the confines of a Nazi-controlled experimentation laboratory
It's like a panel of Wolfenstein and Call of Duty: Nazi Zombie players were given $40 million and told to make a B-Movie horror. It's nuts, and quite brilliant.
The world may or may not be ready for a Nazi Holocaust film. Perhaps a better question is: why bother revisiting such vile real-life horrors at all? Pointless "entertainment."
