Overlord (2018)
Not perfect but a fun watch
I'm a big fan of military horror/sci-fi and its a pretty niche genre, so its good to see it getting a relatively high budget treatment here with Overlord. The effects, both practical and computer were very well done, particularly the gore (which there was plenty of) and the explosions. While the characters certainly weren't standout, they were just deep enough to empathize with and were more than your typical cardboard cutout bodybag fillers like in some films. My only criticism is it wasn't scary in the slightest. But that didn't particularly detract from my enjoyment of the movie and I think it helps if you think of it more as a war film with monsters than a horror movie with a war setting. Overall Overlord is a fun little watch and has some really great moments, a great movie to watch with friends.
