I remember when my brother and I went to go see Overlord back in 2018 when it first came out , our theater was completely empty it was just us and we had a blast watching this movie this movie kicked ass and I wish this movie did better at the box office because this movie is severely underrated
A big regret of mine is that I didn’t see it in theaters! One of my favorite guilty pleasure movies to watch I think it’s severe underrated. I think if it had the Cloverfield name attached to it it might’ve done slightly better, but people would also probably not like it as much because it’s not your typical Cloverfield film.
@@thethriftytypewriter oh that's a bummer dude sorry you didn't get the chance to see it in theaters and yeah I remember hearing they considered putting in the Cloverfield universe but then for some reason they decided against it which in my opinion I think was a big mistake it definitely would have done better at the box office if it had the Cloverfield name attached to it
This film might be the closest thing we get to a Wolfenstein movie, but saying that this film works fantastically on its own. I love it, and I hope more WW2 horror films like this get created, like Frankenstein Army and Deathwatch, I'd pay good money for that genre.
@@mattlombardi54 had to be. Imagine being a German and seeing thousands of men jumping out of planes,, hundreds of planes, hundreds of boats rolling up, shelling coming from those boats, bullets and bombs being dropped on your location.
Watched Overlord a couple years ago with the family and man, it was so much better than what we all expected. We got into the movie just knowing it was a WW2 movie with zombies, literally nothing else. We didn't know what kind of zombies, I was actually the only one who even watched the trailer. So when the resuscitation scene came... Wow. It was so well made and perfectly shocking, we were all sitting there, glued to the screen. This is a great underrated movie, much like Upgrade or Radius, both films I love but no one seems to talk about.
Upgrade was great just like Overlord. Don't understand how nearly no one knows Upgrade. Though I am guilty of not knowing about Radius which is now officially on the top of my watch list. Thx 4 the suggest bro.
The thing with guns in this movie: Even when they miss there are particles everywhere, pieces of wall flying all around, dust floating and things breaking down. It does not look like a bunch of dudes with super soakers. The destruction makes them feel real and threatening!
The movie is rewatchable as hell. After viewing it, when it went to streaming, I instantly liked it. I love how it bends the genre. Starting as a straight WW2 film, and half way through, changing into a zombie/sci-fi flick. As campiness bleeds into the second half, it has a great one and done quality. I can’t describe it, but it feels like an old school 80s flick. Something that you just get a good feeling from it. Even though it is horror.
Absolutely it feels like an 80s classic that somehow fell through the cracks of modern Hollywood. It almost feels satisfying that I know there's no franchise connected
I think another piece that makes it such a great movie to watch is they didn’t cheap out in the costume department. All the uniforms and outfits worn by the characters are appropriate to the time and context of what they’re portraying historically. The Kit the Americans are wearing are exactly what you see the real guys of the 101st Airborne wear on D-Day. The Airborne’s uniforms were very different to what the standard army wore in WWII. And I’ve seen WWII B Movies in the past like ghosts of war that just slap random pieces of kit onto the actors and call it a day. The majority of what you see them wearing in this movie is correct and correlates to the historical events they’re based around, which I can guarantee you makes many historians very happy!
What a kick ass underrated gem! Dragged my two friends to this movie randomly one night after a smoke session. They were wondering what the hell I brought them to when i bought the tickets, by the end they were heavily invested. Wish more films were like this, ENTERTAINING and WELL MADE.
This was the most fun I’ve ever had in a movie theater. Totally agree with everything in your video! I actually still think it’s apart of the clover field universe. The tar is what’s used in the super serum and I think it could be super easy to tie those affects to the sea nectar from the monster. Maybe there’s one buried under the ground and that’s why the tar is bubbling up! Totally just a theory and I know the movie was “confirmed” not apart of the universe, but I like to think it is:)
You're right that it really hits that spot that the original CoD Zombies maps/games once hit. Creepy, mysterious, horrific, violent, and unsympathetic.
This movie is so underrated that it is WILD. I LOVED this movie when I first saw it in theaters. The fact that it didn't do as well as was expected was a complete tragedy, and I hope to see more people talk about it.
I had no idea this movie existed until it popped up on Shudder. Nothing much attracted me to it until I saw a review on YT, and this has to be one of the best movie surprises I’ve ever had. Great film - engrossing, thrilling, horrifying, bastard enemies to root against and likeable heroes. Can’t ask for more!🎉
I remember walking out of a movie with my dad so many years ago and we saw the trailer for this being played on one of the screens outside where you buy the tickets. Hells Bells in the trailer made it seem to cool to us but sadly, maybe like a lot of people we just didnt get around to seeing it. Ended up watching it a few years ago on netflix, it was actually so good and very enjoyable, its a movie, movies have flaws but this still felt like such a fun watch, regardless.
Not every movie on the same universe have to be directly connected or whatever. Its cool to have stories that have nothing to do with eachother being on the same world because it feels realistic, like if an specific weird thing can exist on a scenario, why not another weird thing in another location or time period?
Our world is also very diverse obviously in the sense many things happen everywhere. Not everything must be Marvel where everyone knows everyone or will know everyone
It being a zombie movie ruined it imo. And I'm a massive zombie advocate to the core. Idk maybe I need to rewatch it but having no context and seeing it blind before it felt so off-putting to just slap zombies in the film
@@RickytickyBobbywobbin-jl5oy in many instances zombies were created to be used as a weapon of super soldiers that can be controlled. The Nazis having maintained consciousness and the ability to talk after the mutation/curse whatever the premise may be is just a plus for whoever gets the good without the bad basically. Resident evil does this on multiple occasions. Smart zombies just vary by intelligence and how the body took whatever contagion. Sometimes the benefits only last for a bit and they still die and change into a traditional undead zombie
This film is so well done for what it is and just incredibly underrated. Wyatt Russell particularly channeling a lot of his father’s 80s action star energy!
I loved Overlord so much it had me at the release of the trailer already. I got to watch the movie like a year later but it was definetly worth it. Just look at Overlord's "zombies". The design of the infected make the movie in my opinion a 5/10 by itself and then you got the setting, each characters, villain etc. etc. I watched the movie like 6 times now and it just doesnt get boring tbh.
hardly ever comment or write anything on videos like this, but this movie deserves so much more recognition than what it originally received. the concept, story line and over all way this movie was executed makes it one of my favorite horror films to date. I really wish they dove further into this universe with sequels and or a longer deeper story in the original film.
I watched this movie a while ago because of your cloverfield movies that could be connected video that you made and I loved this movie like I sat down not expecting much but by the end I was like wow that’s pretty good like I watch it from start to finish without getting up.
I had super low expectations as a huge zombie movie fan. Ended up watching it on a flight I couldn’t sleep on and was so impressed I watched it again the next day when I got home
I remember watching overlord on a late night flight back when It first came out, and I was super pleasantly surprised with how good of a movie it is. Like you said, it really scratches the same itch as cod zombies
I just watched it got to say it amazing everything about is amazing and this movie is underrated wow 10/10 just wish I would of seen it when it came out in 2018 in the movie theaters
One of my favorite moments is when Boyce is still in the half destroyed plane. He's nearly falling into the fire and the music is tremendous! It felt like he was already in Hell long before the lab was even a thought.
I watched this film a while ago and I kind of enjoyed it but not a whole lot tbh, but your video made me change my perspective, I will be definitely re watching this soon!
When i saw the ads for this movie i was playing wolfenstein:old blood for the like 5th time. I of course saw it similarly and had to see it. Got my brother to watch it with me, and we both walked out recounting and analyzing everything great that happened. One of my favorite little project movies i've ever seen.
caught it in theaters opening niche because i was still holding out hope it was connected to the clovey universe… although it wasn’t i was NOT disappointed
I went into this movie with incredibly low expectations but dang it's brutal and while a little slower paced in the middle once it cranks up at the end it doesn't stop. Loved this in theaters.
watched this film because ian de caesteker, from agents of shield, was in it. loved the whole film. such a unique presentation of the zombie genre, despite sharing things in common w/ COD:Z
Thanks I watched it yesterday per your recommendation and you’re right-it’s good I never would’ve watched it otherwise. Now let me watch your recap. I stopped it not wanting to see any spoilers.
I guess you could say I was waiting for "Overlord", I had found out about "Frankenstein's Army" from a friend. It took some effort to get the movie, I saw so much promise in it. To me, OL was heavily inspired by FA. Neither are perfect, but as just a popcorn muncher could there be a better genre than WW2. I think the movie is great, I'm just disappointed that Wyatt Russell hasn't gotten more roles like this.
Overlord kicks total ass and I absolutely love it. It's such a tragedy that it didn't perform very well in the box office, since my god, it is one of my favorite movies of all time. Sure, it's not groundbreaking by any means, but my god, it's so insanely fun. The characters are super well-written and performed, the effects are fantastic, everything about the film is excellent. Absolute hidden gem. It'd make a fantastic Wolfenstein spinoff game, I bet.
I remember seeing another WW2-era zombie movie called "Valley of the Dead". It's a Spanish film set during the Spanish civil war that was also happening around that time :3 I won't spoil anything but I HIGHLY reccomend it, as not only is it funny but also just a very unique setting
If U watch Trench 11 and then Overlord then it might feel like The two are connected. Trench 11 is a World War 1 film with the same premise as Overlord, It was released in 2017.
Of course! I dont think its a masterpiece by any means but its definitely underrated, characters were fun to watch and the action was awesome. Scared me a few times! Ha!
My dad took me to see this movie when it came out, and he didn’t tell me a thing about it ahead of time. I think that made it into one of the best and most impactful movie experiences I’ve ever had
What I find so fascinating is that the director even stated that the movie could theoretically be connected to Cloverfield. When asked how he said, "We don't know what Slusho is made out of nor do we know what this goo is either. Make with it as you see fit."
Got about 2 minutes into the video before pausing and watching it myself. This is such a good movie I can't believe I haven't heard of it before. The first walk through the lab was just haunting..
It's named after the ALLIED (Not American) Battle for Normandy (not invasion)- Operation Overlord, or D-Day. But this movie has loads of little things in it that make it so smart, like the Americans can't understand German, but Chloe can, so you only get subtitles when she's there as only she can understand them, it's also why you get subtitles for French as one of them can understand it. Also, a surprising amount of main characters survive for a horror movie, none of that final girl or a-moral people die only stuff. And it really shows that some of them aren't seasoned military men, they were plucked out of their homes to fight because they were needed, they're openly scared for their lives. The people are also not all being experimented on, they're being used to filter the black liquid in order to make the serum, the side effect of that causes the mutations in the townspeople.
This film has one of the coolest trailers. Saw it with am ex back at release, she hated it, but I didnt care whatsoever cause my jaw dropped because of the incredible pacing!
I even believed that there would be a black dude among the paratroopers in 1944. I liked every GI character, Boyce included. But there was no way there was a black Staff Seargent and a black paratrooper going into D-day. I did not care, it was a ZOMBIE movie. I was invested in every GI character. Great movie, and had Kurt Russel's son as the demo corporal.
I remember when this movie came out in theaters. I wasn't able to see it their and I only heard about it briefly from other people. When I finally watched it, I was thoroughly entertained and it exceeded my expectations, especially the airplane scene at the beginning. This movie definitely deserves more praise and attention. It almost reminds me of when the Thing suffered at the box office in the 80s, but has now become an underrated classic.
I think the fact that J.J. Abrams pushed for this film to be largely made with practical effects instead of relying on CG is what made this movie work as well as it did. Even the "zombies" were practical effects and prostethics. I think the main thing that holds this movie back is the ungodly amount of lens flares. Ya know, now that you mention it, I now hold the headcannon that John Walker from The Falcon and Winter Soldier series is a relative of Corporal Ford from Overlord, and the something about their DNA is what allowed Walker and Ford to survive their respective "enhancement" serums.
Me and my friend went and saw it in theaters! It was SO good! I had completely forgotten about it though until this video. The use of practical effects actually makes sense as to why I liked it so much lol
This is one of the few movies i watched on theaters. I enjoyed every second of this movie from beginning to end and i wish it had gotten more recognition
The opening scene with the pov of them falling from the plane is my favorite scene. The rest is a brilliant movie and that opening puts you right along with them
when he said it was like og cod zombies I paused the video and checked the movie out, I was slightly disappointed that there wasn't hordes of Nazi zombies being mowed down, but I still enjoyed it for what it was
first time I can think of where the black dude SURVIVED to the end of the horror movie. Literally. ALSO he is a damn fine soldier for not just breaking down in full ptsd induced madness after getting to safety given what he witnessed. I WOULD HAVE! Its waaay under rated. And until now. I never thought of it like a "what-if captain america" but now that you say it it makes perfect sense!
I was working at a theater at the time this came out, we did previews for employees of movies that were coming out that week after all the regular shows were over, and my god was it worth staying up till 3 am for
I remember going in knowing almost nothing about this movie. I think I was on a date so the movie didn’t really matter. When the movie started and they began to drop out of the planes I was completely blown away at how intense yet beautiful that whole scene was.
Me and my brother went to watch this movie after seeing the trailer. This film was bad ass and a perfect horror shooter film. Decent plot, awesome effects and action. Definitely everything I expected and wanted. The movie wasn’t trying to be anything more than what it was and that’s what made it perfect. Perfect bro movie.
I was saw Overlord without ever seeing a trailer or even hearing about it. I was supposed to see something else but the tickets were sold out to the other movie and not wanting to cancel our plans it looked like a WWII movie from the random promo poster. The movie started 5 minutes before but we just went anyway. I’ll tell you what, expecting a completely different movie and getting a horror is one of the best experiences honestly. I’m a huge horror fan and I couldn’t shake the feeling that the movie was “filmed like a horror” and had a horror soundtrack but I just couldn’t confirm it until it reveals itself. It had its standard action shot and it’s environment pans, then it would switch to a creepy bird eye where the squad is being watched, or the eerie doom shot where the audience knows something is lurking but the protagonists don’t. Over all amazing imo
Went to see this movie with my friends when it came out. We were super excited about a new zombie movie but when it started, all of us were confused… instead of a zombie movie, it looked more like an animated Christmas movie… Finally, someone ran to get an attendant to let them know the wrong movie was showing. It was a very memorable night…
Overlord is one of those great movies I've only seen once. Which is rare because I usually rewatch movies I've enjoyed at least a few times. After watching this video, I think it's time to revisit this movie.
This movie took me by surprise. I expected to watch a B zombie flick and then it started like a very well made WW2 thriller. And it got better and better. Highly recommend it!
I didnt know i wanted to see a movie where a hideous Freesom mutant and a hideius Nazi mutant fist fought eachother and the finale where he climbs up out of the well just in time for the kaboom was PERFECT
I remember when my brother and I went to go see Overlord back in 2018 when it first came out , our theater was completely empty it was just us and we had a blast watching this movie this movie kicked ass and I wish this movie did better at the box office because this movie is severely underrated

I also saw it in theatres. I was the only one in there, hooting and hollering at the sheer chaos of it all. So so good.

Saw this with my cousin opening weekend at an empty theater room and we had such a blast with this movie! The sound quality was perfection👍🏼
I remember seeing another WW2-era zombie movie called "Valley of the Dead". It's a Spanish film set during the Spanish civil war that was also happening around that time :3 I won't spoil anything but I HIGHLY reccomend it, as not only is it funny but also just a very unique setting
If U watch Trench 11 and then Overlord then it might feel like The two are connected.
Trench 11 is a World War 1 film with the same premise as Overlord, It was released in 2017.
When the end credits plays. All you hear is edm music was unexpected honestly lol
This movie just flows perfectly.
Start to finish, it keeps you locked in
I started watching the video, then stopped and watched the entire movie and now im back here to watch the video
Of course! I dont think its a masterpiece by any means but its definitely underrated, characters were fun to watch and the action was awesome. Scared me a few times! Ha!
All you video
reviews are very awesome
My dad took me to see this movie when it came out, and he didn’t tell me a thing about it ahead of time. I think that made it into one of the best and most impactful movie experiences I’ve ever had
What I find so fascinating is that the director even stated that the movie could theoretically be connected to Cloverfield. When asked how he said, "We don't know what Slusho is made out of nor do we know what this goo is either. Make with it as you see fit."
1:38 blud really used the Dead of The Night round start stinger lmao
PLEASANTLY surprised by this movie and how good it is. The two one take shots that begin and end the movie were true scene gems.
Got about 2 minutes into the video before pausing and watching it myself. This is such a good movie I can't believe I haven't heard of it before. The first walk through the lab was just haunting..
It's named after the ALLIED (Not American) Battle for Normandy (not invasion)- Operation Overlord, or D-Day.
But this movie has loads of little things in it that make it so smart, like the Americans can't understand German, but Chloe can, so you only get subtitles when she's there as only she can understand them, it's also why you get subtitles for French as one of them can understand it. Also, a surprising amount of main characters survive for a horror movie, none of that final girl or a-moral people die only stuff. And it really shows that some of them aren't seasoned military men, they were plucked out of their homes to fight because they were needed, they're openly scared for their lives.
The people are also not all being experimented on, they're being used to filter the black liquid in order to make the serum, the side effect of that causes the mutations in the townspeople.
This film has one of the coolest trailers. Saw it with am ex back at release, she hated it, but I didnt care whatsoever cause my jaw dropped because of the incredible pacing!
I even believed that there would be a black dude among the paratroopers in 1944.
I liked every GI character, Boyce included. But there was no way there was a black Staff Seargent and a black paratrooper going into D-day.
I did not care, it was a ZOMBIE movie. I was invested in every GI character. Great movie, and had Kurt Russel's son as the demo corporal.
This was a solid, entertaining film and I’m glad it’s getting the attention it deserves.
My father got this movie completely unaware of what it was. He jaut thought it was a ww2 movie, and it was so unexpected.
I remember when this movie came out in theaters. I wasn't able to see it their and I only heard about it briefly from other people. When I finally watched it, I was thoroughly entertained and it exceeded my expectations, especially the airplane scene at the beginning. This movie definitely deserves more praise and attention. It almost reminds me of when the Thing suffered at the box office in the 80s, but has now become an underrated classic.
I think the fact that J.J. Abrams pushed for this film to be largely made with practical effects instead of relying on CG is what made this movie work as well as it did. Even the "zombies" were practical effects and prostethics.
I think the main thing that holds this movie back is the ungodly amount of lens flares.
Ya know, now that you mention it, I now hold the headcannon that John Walker from The Falcon and Winter Soldier series is a relative of Corporal Ford from Overlord, and the something about their DNA is what allowed Walker and Ford to survive their respective "enhancement" serums.
J.J. Abrams and his lens flares
This is actually just the origin story of how John Walker became Captain America
Me and my friend went and saw it in theaters! It was SO good! I had completely forgotten about it though until this video. The use of practical effects actually makes sense as to why I liked it so much lol
I just watched this movie only watching one minute of your video. Thank you so much. This movie is absolutely amazing.
This is one of the few movies i watched on theaters. I enjoyed every second of this movie from beginning to end and i wish it had gotten more recognition
The opening scene with the pov of them falling from the plane is my favorite scene. The rest is a brilliant movie and that opening puts you right along with them
The opening was amazing, the living head lady was a sight to behold, the gore is really realistic
when he said it was like og cod zombies I paused the video and checked the movie out, I was slightly disappointed that there wasn't hordes of Nazi zombies being mowed down, but I still enjoyed it for what it was
This is one of my favorite movies of all time. I also think rewatches make the movie even better. It is an incredibly smartly written film!
This is my favorite movie! Underrated definitely, also could’ve used more zombies in general lol.
It was just like Dredd, an absolute banger yet very little attention by anyone
first time I can think of where the black dude SURVIVED to the end of the horror movie. Literally. ALSO he is a damn fine soldier for not just breaking down in full ptsd induced madness after getting to safety given what he witnessed. I WOULD HAVE! Its waaay under rated. And until now. I never thought of it like a "what-if captain america" but now that you say it it makes perfect sense!
BRO THIS MOVIE WAS SOOO GOOD FOR ITS BUDGET thanks for talkin abt it
I was working at a theater at the time this came out, we did previews for employees of movies that were coming out that week after all the regular shows were over, and my god was it worth staying up till 3 am for
Watched it with my GF and we went into it thinking it would be bad or corny but it was just amazing, one of my favorite zombie films.
watching this movie for the first time without knowing what kind of movie it was gonna be was a ride
I remember going in knowing almost nothing about this movie. I think I was on a date so the movie didn’t really matter. When the movie started and they began to drop out of the planes I was completely blown away at how intense yet beautiful that whole scene was.
I'm going to watch this video over the weekend, but the answer is "Yes. Yes, it is."
As a production designer i loved this movie, the set design, props and practical gags were all really good, wardrobe was badass as well
The starting scene really got me hyped, it was intense but then to me it fell off and turned into every zombie movie.
You might also like "Trench 11" Its a WW1 horror movie with a very claustrophobic, dead space kinda feel
Me and my brother went to watch this movie after seeing the trailer. This film was bad ass and a perfect horror shooter film. Decent plot, awesome effects and action. Definitely everything I expected and wanted. The movie wasn’t trying to be anything more than what it was and that’s what made it perfect. Perfect bro movie.
I was saw Overlord without ever seeing a trailer or even hearing about it. I was supposed to see something else but the tickets were sold out to the other movie and not wanting to cancel our plans it looked like a WWII movie from the random promo poster. The movie started 5 minutes before but we just went anyway. I’ll tell you what, expecting a completely different movie and getting a horror is one of the best experiences honestly. I’m a huge horror fan and I couldn’t shake the feeling that the movie was “filmed like a horror” and had a horror soundtrack but I just couldn’t confirm it until it reveals itself. It had its standard action shot and it’s environment pans, then it would switch to a creepy bird eye where the squad is being watched, or the eerie doom shot where the audience knows something is lurking but the protagonists don’t. Over all amazing imo
Wormwood is a pretty good movie, if anyone cares to check it out. Zombies/Mad Max style, I loved it
Weird War X is a really underutilized concept in media. I would kill for more of these.
The movie overlord was a very, very very good movie, and I totally enjoyed it. I wish I could see it again.
Went to see this movie with my friends when it came out. We were super excited about a new zombie movie but when it started, all of us were confused… instead of a zombie movie, it looked more like an animated Christmas movie… Finally, someone ran to get an attendant to let them know the wrong movie was showing. It was a very memorable night…
Watched it before the video and i gotta say it was pretty good. i was pleasantly suprised chief
Overlord is one of those great movies I've only seen once. Which is rare because I usually rewatch movies I've enjoyed at least a few times. After watching this video, I think it's time to revisit this movie.
This movie took me by surprise. I expected to watch a B zombie flick and then it started like a very well made WW2 thriller. And it got better and better. Highly recommend it!
I didnt know i wanted to see a movie where a hideous Freesom mutant and a hideius Nazi mutant fist fought eachother and the finale where he climbs up out of the well just in time for the kaboom was PERFECT
just finished the movie and bruh this is by far one of the most fire concept for a war movie-- very underrated since its not talked about
