On the eve of the D-Day landings during the Second World War, a group of American paratroopers are stranded in enemy territory after their plane crashes near a small town outside of Normandy. There, they uncover a horrifying Nazi experiment to create an army of monstrous and violent creatures which they must destroy at all costs…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

Overlord is a gory, gruesome and fascinatingly bloody action-horror that sees usually family-friendly producer J.J. Abrams branch out into entertainment that’s strictly for adults only.
