Thoughts on Overlord

Overlord is an action horror movie set in WWII, featuring Wyatt Russell, son and apparent clone of Kurt Russell. The action and tension are really woven in nicely to the taut narrative. It seems like a straight forward action movie at first, then takes a turn at the halfway point and becomes a Nazi zombie movie. The movie is really well-paced and is edited in such a way that it is reminiscent of wandering through a theme park haunted house. Other scenes are rife with tension and make the movie a very effective thriller. Check it out if you enjoy the strange, violent, and the lovecraftian.
