5. Overlord

World War II is still remembered as one of humanity’s most heinous and gruesome periods, a demonstration of the irreversible affectations and traumas that persist in large populations after mass scale warfare. It's a black spot in history that hasn’t been washed away from public memory, it probably never will be.

Terrible science was developed during that period too as dark and corrupted minds came together to leave an everlasting reminder of the cruelty behind the following of blind ideologies. It's now possible to look back and try to understand the motives that sparked such horrible acts in the first place.

Cinema has been a preferred medium to tell this kind of stories, either by the way of hard edged dramas or via bloody gory fantasies. Overlord belongs to the latter category.

Here's the scoop: an elite squad of American paratroopers is sent into enemy territory with the mission of destroying a radio tower. Pretty standard plot, right? WRONG!

When their plane is shot down, the American soldiers discover a secret German lab that has spawned hideous creatures from what once were local villagers. This underground operation has the sole intention of producing modified and enhanced super soldiers to crush the efforts of the Allies.
