Chris is a Senior News Writer for Collider. He can be found in an IMAX screen, with his eyes watering and his ears bleeding for his own pleasure. He joined the news team in 2022 and accidentally fell upwards into a senior position despite his best efforts.
For reasons unknown, he enjoys analyzing box office receipts, giant sharks, and has become known as the go-to man for all things Bosch, Mission: Impossible and Christopher Nolan in Collider’s news division. Recently, he found himself yeehawing along to the Dutton saga on the Yellowstone Ranch.
He is proficient in sarcasm, wit, Photoshop and working unfeasibly long hours. Amongst his passions sit the likes of the history of the Walt Disney Company, the construction of theme parks, steam trains and binge-watching Gilmore Girls with a coffee that is just hot enough to scald him.
His obsession with the Apple TV+ series Silo is the subject of mockery within the Senior News channel, where his feelings about Taylor Sheridan’s work are enough to make his fellow writers roll their eyes.

World War II was horrifying enough without secret laboratories filled with undead super-soldiers. We thought Captain America was bad enough, but apparently nobody told Julius Avery (The Pope’s Exorcist), because he had the bright idea of blending *Saving Private Ryan *with the biological nightmares of Resident Evil, and showing us why we should probably leave Nazi laboratories just as they were.
For that is Overlord, the J.J. Abrams-produced war-horror gem that has been available through Peacock in the United States, but the movie is now among the titles preparing to rotate out of the service, bringing its latest streaming run to an end. With only hours until D-Day, a team of American paratroopers drop into Nazi-occupied France to carry out a mission that’s crucial to the invasion’s success. Tasked with destroying a radio transmitter atop a fortified church, the desperate soldiers join forces with a young French villager to penetrate the walls and take down the tower. But in a mysterious Nazi lab beneath the church, the outnumbered G.I.s come face-to-face with enemies unlike any the world has ever seen.
The cast is led by Jovan Adepo (3 Body Problem) as Boyce, alongside Wyatt Russell (Thunderbolts*) as Ford, Mathilde Ollivier (Mrs. Davis) as Chloe, Pilou Asbæk (Game of Thrones) as Wafner, John Magaro (Past Lives) as Tibbet, Iain De Caestecker (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.) as Chase, Jacob Anderson (Interview with the Vampire) as Dawson, and Bokeem Woodbine (Fargo) as Rensin. Abrams produced the movie through Bad Robot, while Billy Ray (Captain Phillips) and Mark L. Smith (The Revenant) wrote the screenplay.
Four franchises, four completely different ways of getting underneath your skin. This is the one built out of your particular fear, why it works so well on you, and what it would leave behind.
Your nightmare does not wait outside the door. It waits for you to close your eyes, which you are going to have to do eventually, because nobody has ever won that particular argument.
Your nightmare is not really the doll. It is the face of the person you tell, and the way they decide, very kindly, that you have imagined all of it.
Your nightmare has your number, knows your name, and has almost certainly been inside your house before. The worst part is that you already know them.
Your nightmare is not really about you. It is about the people asleep down the hall, and the feeling that whatever is here is not interested in leaving.
The film is actually really good; it currently holds an 82% critics’ score on Rotten Tomatoes from critics, and the consensus basically hails it for being exactly what it says on the tin — it’s part war movie, part zombie thriller, and entirely a B-movie that is unapologetically bloody, violent and bonkers. The movie earned $21.7 million domestically, and while that wasn’t enough to make it a huge, breakout hit, the sheer insanity of the plot was more than enough to turn it into a cult classic that’s made a home for itself quite happily on streaming, lurking in the shadows and waiting to be discovered. And there’s good news for anyone missing it after its Peacock run. Overlord is currently available through Paramount+ in the United States, meaning the undead aren’t disappearing from subscription streaming altogether.
Overlord is currently streaming on **Paramount+ in the United States **but it’s leaving Peacock immenently. Stay tuned at Collider for more.
