What the Critics say | ||
| 24.com Ethan van Diemen  If 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. | 15 |  |
| ScreenIt T. Durgin For 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. | 14 | |
