Ethan van Diemen quote iconIf you’re a purist looking for a straightforward horror movie, perhaps consider Halloween. If, however, you’re looking for the best in action with a healthy dose of mystery and horror - look no further than Overlord.

T. Durgin quote iconFor the most part, though, the story is highly involving. And there are a couple of sequences throughout that are flat-out incredible to behold on the big screen.
