succesful horror army mix

I initially thought of that other movie (Frankenstein's Army) when I heard the story of this one.It was quite enjoyable at times, but it still got stuck in the B segment.This one looks a lot more serious and the film immediately starts off strong with the landing scene, which is very well executed and even after that the film doesn't really let up for a moment.The tension is built up well, the camera work is very good and the gore is plentiful with good acting from almost everyone.This is the second mix of army and horror and both were pretty good so bring on some more100% better than expected and a successful mix between war and horror.

Far better than I was expecting...

Overlord is one of those films that starts as one thing but then becomes something else. Following some Allied paratroopers as they land behind enemy lines toward the end of WW2, they come across a small town next to their target - a church with a radio tower on it. With the help of a local family, they must somehow get in there and take it down. However, they soon discover that the building also houses something far worse than Nazi soldiers...I must say I was genuinely surprised by how good this film actually is. I was expecting the war aspect to be little more than a backdrop to the horror, but even during the build up this actually has a stab at being a decent war film in its own right. Then the horror starts and the film loses none of its intensity, action or pacing. The story is interesting, the characters are believable and the special effects are actually really good. Imagine if the modern Wolfenstein video games were made into a film - that is pretty much what this feels like and I thought it was far better than it has any right to be. Give it a go!
