John Grisham always has a way of making you want to jump through the book and slap someone.

Stylish but badly executed

This film was such a disappointment. On paper the premise of priests versus vampires sounds like it could be fairly promising, but sadly in reality they just don’t manage to pull it off. Some of the set and costume design is quite good and the cgi is a lot better than I ever would’ve thought on something like this. However the plot is horrendous. It doesn’t make a massive amount of sense and has a very short run time to fit in any explanation. The ending too is also over far too quickly. It touches on how a alternate dystopian future would look if governed by the Church, and this for me was the most interesting part of this entire film. The problem is that they barely touch on this side which is such a shame.

One of the best movies of 2018

Overload- was produced by J. J. Abrams.

The plot: On the eve of D-Day, American paratroopers drop behind enemy lines to penetrate the walls of a fortified church and destroy a radio transmitter. As the soldiers approach their target, they soon begin to realize that there's more going on in the Nazi-occupied village than a simple military operation. Making their way to an underground lab, the outnumbered men stumble upon a sinister experiment that forces them into a vicious battle against an army of the undead.

Overload- mixed togther horror, action, comedy, war, violence, gore and zombies all into one film.

Overload to me is one of the best movies that came out last year. Its very underrated. More people should watch it, cause its a excellent movie. Highly reccordmend this movie.
