I write about movies and TV shows for a living, so I’ve seen plenty of them in my time. However, there are only a select few that have truly stuck with me, and it’s those that I often go back to for comfort. Is it strange that I usually go to horror movies for that comfort? Maybe, but sometimes horror is just so dang good that I need to watch the movie more than once.
A perfect example, and one of my favorite movies to ever exist, is “Overlord” (2018). This chaotic masterpiece is everything you need in a horror-action flick, from the grimy setting to the unexpected gore to a group of protagonists with completely different personalities. There is so much to enjoy in such a simple movie, and that’s what makes it better than apocalyptic dramas like “28 Days Later” (and that’s not to say this isn’t good, because it definitely is).
