In a year that’s given us The Cloverfield Paradox, as well as John Krasinski’s directorial debut of horrors, Overlord feels like another step towards crowd-pleasing adventure for the recently beleaguered studio.
Sadly, it still looks like Overlord is, in fact, not a Cloverfield movie.
And if this film lives up to even half of the potential it’s shown us, there’s a chance that this could be a breakout hit of the fall.
Come to think of it, with that point in mind, it feels like Paramount is dead set on reinventing itself as a genre-friendly home.
