Overlord is a nasty, goofy, gore drenched horror/war film that works best the less you think about it. They film has a relentless pace, and several great set pieces and just keeps chugging along, changing genres at will, and providing a lot of bang for its buck. The film is set during WWII – on D-Day to be precise – and starts out like other war films we’ve seen before. At some point it becomes a horror film, and then morphs into a hybrid of the two genres for its final act. It probably shouldn’t work at all – and yet somehow it all works really well.
 
The film begins on a plane the night before D-Day. On what will become a bumpy and violent flight, we stick with Boyce (Jovan Adepo), a young black soldier – and our audience surrogate. The men have been told their job – they are to parachute behind enemy lines, find a radio tower on top of a church in a small French village, and take it out before the invasion starts – or else air support won’t be possible. Of course, the plane is shot to hell – and when Boyce lands – after a chaotic fall – he realizes most of his friends. All that’s really left is an explosive expert, Ford (Wyatt Russell) – who none of the rest of them know, wisecracking Tibbet (John Magaro) and Chase (Ian De Casetecker) – who doesn’t have a personality aside from being the guy with the camera. If their odds were bad before they parachuted in, they’re even worse now that there’s only 4 of them. When they get to the small town, things seem even more bleak – the church is even more fortified and guarded then they thought. The only help they’re going to get is from Chloe (Mathilde Ollivier) – a beautiful young French woman, who has to protect her younger brother.
 
The best sequence in the movie comes at about the halfway point – when Boyce suddenly finds himself in the church, alone, stumbling around. When he gets to the basement he sees things – unholy things – and although any sane person would stop investigating the strange noises he hears, or unzipping the seeping bags of viscera he sees – well before he does – it’s still a great sequence as director Julius Avery builds the tension steadily – and knows how to build images to shock.
 
But it’s hardly alone as being a good set piece in the film. In fact, this film works best during the set pieces, and less well when its actually trying to tell a story of any kind. The opening airdrop sequence is intense and scary and brutal in its violence. There’s a scene where Ford and Boyce have to watch through cracks in the floor as a Nazi captain (Pilou Asbæk) comes into Chloe’s house, and tries to force himself on her. There are scenes in the back half in which various people get injected with a glowing serum the Nazis created – in which the results are not what is expected. And finally, when the climax gets here – the film does an excellent job of doing a kind of classic war movie shootout climax, with various horror movie sequences at the same time.
 
Overlord is, admittedly, a stupid movie in many ways. It’s best not to think about why some of its characters do some of the things they do – because there really is no reason for them to do them, except the movie needs them to. And yet, the movie moves at such a quick pace, has some many good set pieces, and is basically just so much bloody fun, that I didn’t really mind. I also didn’t really mind the kind of playing with the history Overlord does either – if you’re going to go all out into Nazi science experiments, you may as well go all out, which this film does in pretty much every way. Overlord is trash – but it’s fun trash.
