Overlord is a 2018 movie I adore and watch over and over! It is one of the best War/Horror films I’ve ever seen, possibly underrated. I rarely see discussions or reviews about this film on Horror sites or mentioned on Horror podcasts. This is a shame because it is so well-crafted, acted, and the set design and practical FX are a wonder to behold that blend with beautiful use of CGI!

Plot:

On the eve of D-Day, American paratroopers drop behind enemy lines to penetrate the walls of a fortified church and destroy a radio transmitter. As the soldiers approach their target, the outnumbered men stumble upon a sinister experiment that forces them into a vicious battle against an army of the undead.

In this episode, I continue my focus on all things ZOMBIE! Now, not all of these films are Gothic films, but all of them feature Gothic Tropes in some shape or way. 

 This is just MY take on Zombie Movies that are worth watching.
