It is a bizarre, and weirdly humourless and explicit action-horror fantasy set during the second world war – specifically just before the D-Day landings, hence the title, derived from Operation Overlord, you see. It is June 1944 and Jovan Adepo plays Boyce, a young private in the 101st airborne division of the US army. There is something deeply crass about this facetious nonsense, and everyone involved in this film might want to reflect that Nazi medical experimentation during the second world war did in fact happen, under circumstances other than these. It was a very real thing, not just a death-metal horror movie gag. Overlord leaves a very nasty taste in the mouth.
