Directed by Julius Avery and produced by J.J.Abrams, very little content is available regarding this movie. Their publicity department says “The story of two American soldiers behind enemy lines on D Day.”
Those words could mean anything about World War II, but watch the trailer and it is obvious Overlord, written by a couple of screenwriters, Billy Ray, and Mark L. Smith, is a horror movie. My feature image proves as well it is a horror movie.
Billy Ray wrote some impressive scripts from Shattered Glass to The Hunger Games. Mark L. Smith biggest credit is The Revenant. Overlord may prove to be a fruitful horror movie for fans of the genre.
Avery other movies include Son of a Gun and Jerrycan.
Overlord cast includes Wyatt Russell, Bokeem Woodbine, and Pilou Asbæk.
The final movie trailer tells the story of what we will see when we go to the movie. I like the style of the music and attitude of the overall theme.
The movie trailer shows several Americans parachuting into German territory and confronting a Nazi experimental lab gone gruesome and horrific. The poster adds to the several parachuting with the parachutes in blood red.
