Caught behind enemy lines, a group of American paratroopers is tasked with destroying a German radio tower. Overlord takes place on the eve of D-Day. It’s definitely the best Nazi zombie, and it’s also a damn good war movie - even without the zombies. Overlord might just be the best zombie movie of all time. And it more than delivers on thrilling action sequences, gore, and an explosive pace. Overlord is the most frightening zombie movie in recent times because it does something new with its story and with the nature of these zombies. If there’s a more powerful and horribly scary zombie out there in cinematic history, I’ve never seen it. Even when someone triple taps this monstrosity with three pistol shots to the skull at point-blank range, the zombie heals fast enough to continue its dogged pursuit in seconds. This zombie doesn’t hunger for brains - its only goal is violence. Not only does it move inhumanly fast, but it’s strong enough to throw you across the room with ease, all while shrieking at an otherworldly volume.
In the middle of Overlord, one character encounters a zombified human in the bowels of an underground Nazi laboratory.
