Review of Overlord (2018) by Brent_Marchant — 11 Nov 2018
A movie that suffers from a major identity crisis -- is it a classic horror flick? A World War II drama? A campy gorefest romp? Well, it's actually all of these to some extent or another, and the fusion never really meshes as audiences try to guess where this boring, meandering slog is going to go next.
From my perspective, it works best as a campy gorefest, something it finally gets around to being about 30 minutes from the end. Had it stuck to this formula throughout, it would have been a much more entertaining picture.
As it stands now, though, it doesn't seem to know what it wants to be, and that, unfortunately, represents a major missed opportunity.
