Overlord is a WWII-set Action Horror movie released November 3, 2018, starring Jovan Adepo, Pilou Asbæk, Wyatt Russell, and Bokeem Woodbine, from Paramount Pictures, produced by J. J. Abrams and directed by Julius Avery.June 6, 1944. D-Day, Operation Overlord. That was when Allied forces invaded Normandy and liberated West Europe from the choking grip of Nazi Germany. But on the night before, a group of paratroopers is tasked to infiltrate enemy lines and bring down a radio tower. What they end up finding down below the tower, deep down below ground, is something much more sinister, much more horrifying, and much more evil than any single one of them could have possibly imagined.Official Trailer.Not to be confused with a completely different film, Overlord (1975), the light novel Overlord, or with any other work named after Operation Overlord.

Anyone Can Die: As it's a film set in WWII, it's pretty obvious that not everyone's coming back home. By the end, only three of the large unit (Boyce, Rosenfeld, and Tibbet) are left alive.

 Overlord (2018) / int_143939c1
comment
Trailers Always Spoil: Marketing made no effort to hide the image of Wafner with half his face blown off and smiling. The extended trailer has a scene where one of the commandos clearly states there are only four of them left, spoiling just how many of them make it into the target village alive, although Boyce does find Rosenfeld, alive and captured, and save him.)

The Sociopath
 Overlord (2018) / int_19851b86
comment
The Sociopath: Captain Wafner, a ruthless Nazi colonel who genuinely believes that everybody else is lesser than the Germans and exists to be exploited by them. He takes over a small French village and begins using the villagers as guinea pigs for incredibly painful super soldier experiments, viewing it as the only way to make them useful, using the threat of being taken away as incentive for him to terrorize and rape the townsfolk while he's at it.

A Father to His Men
 Overlord (2018) / int_19d06ef7
comment
A Father to His Men: Sergeant Rensin's reaction to their transport plane being barely in a single piece, one engine ablaze and taking a nose-dive? Staying clear-headed, issuing orders and making sure all of his still alive men deploy out of the flaming inferno, even if he has to personally drag them out. This is sharply contrasted with Corporal Ford, who is there to do his mission first, second and last, friendly body count be damned.

Chekhov's Gun: The flamethrowers that the Nazis have in the church for corpse disposal get used by Chloe to dispose of a empowered test subject that's trying to eat her. Wafner's lighter that was originally taken by Ford as an insult to the SS Officer is used by Ford to set off the C4 in the lab.

Ironic Echo: Given both ways. Ford strings Wafner from a ceiling and beats the everloving shit out of him to gather information about the Nazi compound they're about to storm. When they face off again, Wafner suspends Ford from a meat hook and then beats the everloving shit out of Ford in return. Ford, like Wafer did before, retorts with "Fuck you."

comment
Rank Scales with Asskicking: Despite being barely a Corporal, Ford still outranks everyone else who makes it through the paradrop. He always maintains his composure even when the others panic, and racks up a huge body count of German soldiers with his trusty Thompson. Probably his best feat is pulling himself off of a meat hook he's trapped on gritting his teeth through the agonizing pain, injecting himself with some Super Serum, and taking on the super-powered Big Bad in hand-to-hand combat, before killing himself along with all the other test subjects with bunch of C4 in a Heroic Sacrifice.

Character Development

comment
Character Development: Ford's primary characterization in the film is as a hardass soldier who reminds his men that they have a job to do, and whatever the Nazis are doing under the church has nothing to do with their mission. He's also explicit in saying that, to beat the Nazis, they have to fight as dirty as they do. When it comes for him to die, Ford has recognized the horrors of what's going on and orders Boyce to not let anyone, not even their own side, have the serum. Boyce is a timid and rather incompetent soldier at the beginning of the film. He retains his code of honor but becomes more daring and capable as the film progresses.

comment
Screw the Rules, I'm Doing What's Right!: When Wafner attempts to rape Chloe, Boyce defies orders and stops him from going through with it, risking his squad being detected by the Nazis by taking an SS officer hostage but fully gaining Chloe's trust. After Paul is taken hostage by Wafner, Boyce refuses to follow Ford's orders and tells him to his face that they have to destroy the lab to prevent its horrors from getting out into the world. Ford ultimately pretty much says, "Fuck it, let's do it." At the end, Boyce and Ford decide the black tar is best left destroyed and buried away where nobody can find it, and Ford stays behind to make sure this happens. Boyce later lies when his superiors ask if the rumors that have been going around about an underground lab are true, and instead says that they didn't find anything like that.

Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Ford may be a hard-nosed commander, but when he realizes the scale of the Nazis' experiments, he agrees to go down underground to save Paul and take down the operation, and he ultimately sacrifices himself to destroy the compound and the serum. Tibbet is a Sir Swears-a-Lot who's exasperated by what he perceives as the incompetence of his fellow soldiers, and that Paul for some reason taking a liking to him, in spite of the language barrier. Ultimately, he has a soft-spot for both and is willing to put his life on the line to protect them, even if he's teasingly condescending about it, even running through a hail of gunfire to pick up Paul and get him behind cover, getting shot in the back in the process. He lives.

Artistic License – History: The US Armed Forces were segregated during World War II, and African-American soldiers fought in all-black units like the Tuskegee Airmen or the 761st Tank Battalion. This means that Boyce, Dawson, and Rensin who are all black, would very much not be in an Airborne unit in Europe, and Rensin certainly wouldn't be leading a combat jump over Normandy. There was only one battalion of black paratroopers during the war, the 555th Parachute Infantry, who were barred from combat and instead spent the war fighting forest fires sparked by Japanese balloon bombs in the Pacific Northwest. On June 6, 1944 the Allies sent the paratroopers in at midnight under cover of dark, well before the dawn landings. In the film, it is clearly a daylight jump. During the end credits display a 50-star U.S. flag. Alaska and Hawaii became states in 1959, more than decade after the end of World War II. A period-correct WWII era U.S. flag has six rows of eight stars: 48.

Cowardly Lion: Boyce is the subject of many taunts and insults due to his perceived cowardice and unwillingness to take a life, even that of a mouse that was making a mess in his unit's barracks. It doesn't change the fact that he's in the field and fighting alongside other soldiers, but is more concerned with saving lives than taking them.

comment
Artistic License – Military: During the plane ride into France, the Paratroopers are holding/carrying their weapons by their sides. In reality, their weapons (M1 Garands, B.A.R.s, Thompsons) would be carried in special "bags" strapped to their parachute harness. This not only protected their weapons, but also secured them to their person. During the plane, pre-drop scenes, the paratroopers are wearing their Airborne chinstraps. Which is a chin cup, used in addition to the stand M1 Helmet chinstrap to keep the helmet secure during jumps. The one in the film is made of cotton, canvas; most during World War II would be made of leather. The cotton ones are either late war or perhaps post-war issue. Boyce states he received his draft notice three months before D-Day. A timeline that short wouldn't be enough to complete induction, basic training, jump training and be assigned to a deploying jump unit. The D-Day paratroopers trained for two years before Operation Overlord. A draftee inducted in March 1944 would likely arrive in Europe as a replacement around November or December.

Politically Correct History: Not only does the film indulge in some Artistic License – History by racially integrating the paratrooper unit, but all of the white soldiers seem to be colorblind, as not one of them brings up the race of their sergeant, Dawson, or Boyce. The only problem they have with Boyce is his lackluster conduct during basic training; this is probably justified however since alienating your comrades too much probably isn't a very good idea just before a practical suicide mission.

Super-Soldier: The intended result of the German experiments with the unknown substance they found and turned into a serum. It does enhance the subject's physicality and durability, but it has the problem of making the recipients go insane. At least, the initial batches. When Wafner takes an updated double dosage, he maintains his normal intelligence, probably because he wasn't dead when he injected himself.

Our Zombies Are Different: The people the Nazis experiment on are explicitly stated to have been dead and brought back to life by Schmidt's serum, but all of them Came Back Wrong with healing factors, Super-Strength, and gruesome Body Horror. Some of the experiments seen near the end of the film, while not that mutated, noticeably wander like traditional zombies. The serum itself isn't communicable through bites, and instead is derived from an unknown black tar that has been processed through the blood of the "volunteers". They are also not put down by shooting them in the head, instead requiring significantly more drastic measures.

Tibbet is a Sir Swears-a-Lot who's exasperated by what he perceives as the incompetence of his fellow soldiers, and that Paul for some reason taking a liking to him, in spite of the language barrier. Ultimately, he has a soft-spot for both and is willing to put his life on the line to protect them, even if he's teasingly condescending about it, even running through a hail of gunfire to pick up Paul and get him behind cover, getting shot in the back in the process. He lives.

Not So Stoic: Ford tries to apply Unusually Uninteresting Sight to everything around him, from the horrors of the battlefield to his own men suddenly dying in front of him. But even he's just as horrified as everybody else in the room when Chase comes back to life after Boyce administers the serum. And that's even before the side effects begin to kick in...

Removing the Head or Destroying the Brain: This appears to be one of the three effective ways of killing the zombies, apart from being burned to death or blown apart. A couple of gunshots aren't enough, however, and it's implied that bashing Chase's head into pulp still didn't completely kill him.

Came Back Wrong
 Overlord (2018) / int_b983a56b
comment
Came Back Wrong: To a greater extent than usual in zombie films, as Ford explicitly tells Boyce that Chase died the moment his heart stopped beating even if the serum brought him back to life physically. In general, this seems to be the case with those injected with the serum. As injuries pile up, the immense power needed to keep them moving and the resulting agonizing pain takes a toll on their sanity until, as in the case of Wafner, they are nothing more than snarling beasts.

Ominous Obsidian Ooze: The substance the Nazis are experimenting with is literally petroleum tar. However, it contains a chemical found nowhere else except a little town in France that is the active ingredient in their Super Serum, which is bright red when distilled. However, it's distilled by injecting people with the raw tar and extracting it from their blood.

Gorn: If Wafner's fate is any indication, yes. The gunfire the Americans take as their plane flies over Normandy more or less rips apart anyone it touches in the most graphic manner possible. Chase breaks his own neck, takes a full magazine to the chest, and ultimately is killed by Boyce bashing his head open with the butt of his rifle. All of which is shown in detail.

Attempted Rape
 Overlord (2018) / int_f85354eb
comment
Attempted Rape: If being an SS officer wasn't enough of a tip that Wafner is a nasty piece of work, his first real onscreen action is threatening to have Paul sent to the church if Chloe doesn't have sex with him. Boyce stops him, but it's clear by Chloe's revulsion and Wafner's smug confidence that he's been more successful in the past.

Evil Is Hammy: Wafner's dialogue turns into outright schlock when he injects himself with the serum, which his actor was grateful for.

Evil Is Petty: One of the German soldiers spits a loogie on Paul's baseball just to be an asshole. He gets a brutal Karmic Death.

Pet the Dog: After spending several scenes annoyed by Paul's attention, during the climax, Tibbet runs out during a hail of enemy gunfire to pick him up from hiding behind a car to get him to safe cover, getting non-fatally shot in the back in the process.

comment
Shown Their Work: Rosenfeld fires a captured MG-34, though their accuracy and rate of fire leaves much to be desired, and they must clear jams frequently. When Tibbet criticizes his shooting, Rosenfeld correctly point out that the MG-34 is supposed to be crewed by two soldiers, one to aim and shoot, with the other to reload, ensure the rounds feed correctly, and change the barrel when it overheats.

Death Seeker: Corporal Ford. It's also the reason why he remains so oddly calm while on openly suicidal mission - as he puts it in the end, he "was never getting back".
