Overlord

 

Over the weekend I watched J.J Abrams' Overlord. I personally quite enjoy watching horror films, however I've always struggled to find ones I'd actually consider scary. This film was fine. It wasn't the best thing I've ever seen, despite the concept of it being quite nice, however I think it could've done with being written a bit better and needed better acting to fulfill what it wanted to be. The mix of fiction and fact was ambitious yet not terrible, but could obviously cause problems with audiences, especially history fans. Whilst I actually do like some war films, and find the setting of films in this time-period appealing and charming in their own way, I'm not much of a history buff. Like I said, this film was fine, but not as memorable as it could've been.
