Mar 13, 2019The first 30 minutes are actually a pretty straight war movie in the tradition of Saving Private Ryan or Inglourious Basterds, even quoting those. The most unrealistic part of the beginning is a French woman speaking good English. Then we're going through a bit of a slow middle part as the little French town is set up before we're reaching the promised horror and splatter territory. But even during the trashy and silly last act, the film plays its "war caper" cards pretty straight, which is admirable. The result is pretty damn entertaining, sometimes even exciting. I merely expected a little more craziness or a somewhat more interesting caper. Still, well done.

Feb 15, 2019A comer for classic right out of the gate, this sci-fi WW2 funhouse is a monster itself, ("it's aliiiiive!"), borrowing familiar genres and sowing them together to create a lumbering juggernaut that's fresh while still remaining strangely familiar. Re-watchable? Again and again.

Jan 20, 2019Really, really happy with how this one wound up. Overlord is probably this year's movie I most want to rewatch, was definitely one worth seeing on the big screen. I hope it inspires likeminded cinema in the near-future.

Dec 19, 2018Julius Avery has delivered one of the best horror films of the year. This is an insane film and the fact it showcases the R rating is an extra blessing. The first twenty minutes are some of the most intense filmmaking of the year, it was incredible. It is sad the film isn't enjoying the box office, but this will be a cult film twenty years from now. Wyatt Russell should continue the trend of building a unique catelogue of roles, much like his father did in the 80s. I had zero expectations of this film and it delivered on every guilty pleasure for the genre. It has been a rare scenario when a film this insane delivers on the concept and I am happy to have seen this on the big screen. 18/12/2018.
