There’s an excellent atmosphere, helped by an off-kilter colour palette that recalled – in my mind at least – classic Hammer horror movies, with lots of sickly hues used to brilliant effect. Yet they soon discover that the church is home to much more than just a radio transmitter – being the site of a Nazi lab in which some very unholy experiments are being carried out…
When things very quickly go disastrously wrong, it’s up to the surviving soldiers to carry out their mission no matter the cost. Set in World War 2 on the eve of D-Day, we’re thrust immediately into a desperate situation with a group of American soldiers on a time-critical mission to destroy a radio transmitter on top of a heavily guarded church in Nazi-occupied France. So for Halloween itself, my choice was Overlord, the JJ Abrams-produced 2018 film that was once rumoured to be another entry in the variable Cloverfield series (the latest of which, The Cloverfield Paradox, was unceremoniously dumped onto Netflix as an exclusive – and was absolutely awful).
OVERLORD 2018 PLUS
Despite being an absolute wimp when it comes to the horror genre, I’ve managed to get through a few recently – and I have genuinely been impressed with (enjoyed is perhaps the wrong word, especially with Mandy and Color Out of Space, each containing intense and often disturbing scenes – plus Nicolas Cage) each of them. It’s Halloween, which means I’ve gone way outside my comfort zone for the last time this month and watched another horror movie.
