The music in the film is mostly white noise and ambient drone, while percussive or horn accents are used to accompany moments of tension. The producers seem to have researched and practiced real-world techniques for police and SWAT operations, though I’m not well-informed enough to say if the procedures used are entirely authentic. Only occasionally does the voice acting fall short. The body acting is natural and clearly well-rehearsed. The sets – the deep forests of New England and a rural farmhouse – are well chosen, vividly real, and serve to heighten the tension. ![]() Production Quality: There’s no doubt that SCP: Overlord is a quality production. There are moderate spoilers in my review.

SCP: Overlord can be enjoyed without knowledge of the minutiae of SCP canon however, the film makes more sense when the overall project is taken into account. The directors, writers, and contributors to this film have produced fan films based on this fictional setting before, but Overlord goes to unprecedented lengths to produce a complete and professional screenplay. It’s based loosely on a body of internet fiction called the SCP Project, which revolves around a fictional worldwide organization (the SCP Foundation) dedicated to cataloguing, containing, and defending against anomalous forces and entities – at any cost. The film is a 35-minute thriller with surreal and cosmic horror elements. ![]() SCP: Overlord is an independently produced YouTube film directed by Stephen Hancock and written by Evan Muir.
