Eager to cash-in on the blockbuster “Overlord”, production company The Asylum rushed to release “Nazi Overlord”. “Overlord” is a very entertaining sci-fi/horror flick with a WWII setting while “Nazi Overlord” is a virtually unbearable knock-off. The Asylum loves to rush out so-called ‘mockbusters’ such as “Transmorphers” (rip-off of “Transformers”), “Atlantic Rim” (rip-off of “Pacific Rim”) and “I Am Omega” (rip-off of “I Am Legend”).

Shortly after D-Day, a small team of American soldiers are sent to Romania to help rescue a British scientist that was captured by the Nazis in Belgium. The Allies believe that her work on biological warfare could lead the Nazis to victory with a terrifying new weapon.

Tom Sizemore (“Saving Private Ryan”, “Heat”) is easily the most well-known actor here but he only has a few brief scenes. However, he should fire his agent for getting him involved in this mess at all. The other cast members are just awful. I was so bored watching the American soldiers in this movie that I nearly fell asleep. The Nazis are equally dull to watch. The worst character of all is the scientist, who unsurprisingly has switched sides. Normally, I would consider details such as that a spoiler and refrain from putting them in the review but I doubt anybody would be interested in what is going on here.

Watch “Overlord” by all means because it’s a really good movie, just make darn sure that you do not inadvertently sit through “Nazi Overlord” instead. The Asylum make their money by tricking unsuspecting moviegoers into seeing their shlock instead of the blockbusters. The acting, the action sequences, the special effects, the story and everything here is just so amateurish that it is unbelievable. This is easily one of the worst movies I have ever seen so I would recommend that you skip it at all costs.
