For starters, the zombies are totally, utterly mute. Believe or not, it's quite scary! In the real world, a simple cough would get anybody killed in an instant... More generally, one of the most powerful features of this movie is the strength of the overwhelming silence: in the streets, buildings, cars, rooms, hallways... Gone is the human agitation we have grown so used to!

Then, the setting in beautiful Paris, downtown-style. Lots of nice Haustmanian buildings. This comes in sharp contrast to the horror that awaits our character at virtually every corner.

The story fits on a simple sheet of paper, but the interest of this movie lies elsewhere. As some reviewers have described it before, it's about survival of the worst kind. I found myself planning what actions the "hero" should be taking to survive, ahead of him and, ticked, he went through each of them! In this regard, it is a pretty consistent movie which feels quite real.

My biggest complain is about the ending, something that a lot of French movies typically fail to do properly (just like the Americans and Asians, but for some other reasons): there is absolutely no closure to the storyline, far from it. I won't get into the details here, but please be warned that you will be left with a virtually limitless number of possible endings for this movie, way too many in my opinion to feel comfortable with it.

The poster and description don't really sell this movie correctly. They sort of hint at this bloodbath zombie world. And while there are hints of that, it is much more of a slice of life drama and psychological study if anything.

There are obviously zombies but not they are not the main focus. There are hints of The Omega Man in here but I think it's much more thoughtful, it tries to look at what life would actually be like.

The film is slow and there are like 40 lines of dialogue in the whole movie, it might even be less. This doesn't make it bad or anything but it does make some parts drag ever so slightly.

I just finished this. I very much enjoyed it. The undead in this are some of the creepiest in the genre because of their utter silence. The character of Sam really drew me in. You feel very much for him and he manages to portray just about every human emotion there is extremely well while finding ways to survive alone in the desert of death, horror and loss around him. This survival is not just about food and ravenous flesh-eating zombies. There are some small and brilliant experimental music scenes created when Sam finds ingenious ways to relieve his boredom and loneliness. He's obviously a musician . He plays drums amazingly too. There is a twist in there too. I don't want to give anything away except to say I didn't see it coming at all. There were many sad scenes. Some achingly sad. And a few humorous ones. Overall, this is an unexpected gem. Kudos!

Is it better to be alive and alone in a zombie apocalypse or dead and or a zombie? This one does a thorough and solid job of answering all those questions. Zombies and effects are done well but there are long stretches of being stuck with the main character which adds to the sense of claustrophobia. A dilemma worth watching.

For what little it would take to make this film they really added a fun little film to what is typically an expensive and elaborate genre. For me all the points go to this.

While the writing isn't bad, it's also not great. But the aforementioned simplicity may also have been very limiting.

Top 50 Zombie films of all time, which may not sound like much but that's better than 95% of the zombie films out there so not bad really.

If you like Indy horror thriller films I would reccomend this one. While it's not as good as the likes of Afflicted or Spring, it's still a fun little addition to the genre that I would likely watch again at some point just because I am big fan of the post apocalyptic genre as a whole.

The was a pretty good movie right up to the end. To me, a bad ending ruins a movie. That is what happened here.

Its well acted but when the only survivor of a zombie apocalypse is a self-absorbed, unlikable upper middle class French muso (who makes mindnumbingly stupid survival decisions) then the film looses credibility.

Its also useful that French zombies have short attention spans when we get into the avaunt garde music.

The curiously titled The Night Eats the World is a french zombie movie, though to appeal to the masses was filmed in English.

It tells the story of a man who falls asleep at a party only to wake up to a zombie apocalypse. If you're expecting an action packed bloody zombie movie, this simply isn't for you.

The movie takes a simple and rather realistic approach, namely one man alone and what he does to pass the time while the world around him turns to chaos.

Early on I was impressed, it was looking like this might be a likeable zombie affair but sadly the quality dips and it falls into the grindy repetitive and excessively depressing category.

The film has its moments but when the credits roll you'll likely be very aware that this movie will be gone from your memory within a week. It's all just so very underwhelming and ultimately goes nowhere.

I'd say nice try, but I'd be lying.

The Good:

Has its moments

Original take on a waning sub-genre

The Bad:

Rather dull

Goes out with a fizzle not a bang

Things I Learnt From This Movie:

Lonliness causes insanity? Guess I'm a lunatic

Everyone needs a zombie friend.

So I watched more than 50 zombie movies for my studies, and this one is one of the most originals I seen.

I like the pragmatism of the main character, who welcomes the new life of survival with a certain calm and meticulous mind. This movie felt quite satisfying and relaxing, like OCD-based, because of the precise character.

I can relate to Sam annoyed by the crowd of the party and then being almost relieved in this zombie apocalypse. But he starts to feel lonely though, and the character progression is really interesting.

Also, zombies make no sound. Huge difference from the main line in zombie tropes. Much scarier. I definitely recommend.

A dope movie about a guy who goes to a party to pick up stuff he left with his ex-girlfriend and while waiting for her he falls asleep and wakes up in a Zombie Apocalypse.

One of the best Zombie movies ever seen (and that's saying a lot cause Zombie movies are the best!), it's a quiet tone as this dude goes through an I am Legend type situation thinking he's the last man on the planet (or at least in Paris)

The dude who they got playing the last man on Earth is a pretty good actor cause he had to be interesting for 90 minutes and he pulls it off, making us laugh, making us sad, and making us believe he lost his mind from loneliness. It's a stellar performance.

I recommend.

A man gets caught in an apartment as the zombie apocalypse kicks off. He is safe, but alone.

Now I would start of by saying this is very well made. The production, camera work and acting is all great. I quite like it when films shrink down the scope to a few rooms. I like everything about this film, except having to sit through it.

The underlying themes of this film is companionship and boredom. The film demonstrates this very well. But in doing so makes for a very lonely, boring film.

Watching a man slowly lose his mind from loneliness is not particularity engaging.

There is no survival aspect, no action.

This is a very quiet, considered, hipster film. There is nothing wrong with that and I am glad the people who enjoyed it, enjoyed it. I can see why they did, but this is not the experience I want when I put a zombie movie on.

The Night Eats the World: We've all been there, you go to your ex-GF's apartment to collect some stuff, there's a wild party in progress. You don't get on with her pesent BF, you bump into someone, you end up passing out and between booze and tiredness you really could sleep through a Zombie Apocalypse. Well, that's exactly what happens to Sam. He wakes to find the apartment wrecked, the walls smeared with blood. He is attacked by his now Zombie Ex but escapes.

The streets of Paris are strewn with wrecked cars and bodies, just like the aftermath of a yellow-vests riot. Wait! Are those yellow-vests shambling about and biting the few survivors? No, it's the Zombies. Sam makes an apartment habitable and settles in for a long lonely wait. At least he doesn't have to worry about annoying people with drum paying but it does attract Zombies. Sam seems to be the last person left alive in Paris.

Nothing much new in this film and all of the action takes place in one apartment building, it's roof and the nearby streets. But Director Dominique Rocher has delivered a good horror film with convincing Zombies and an interesting reflection on the reality of life alone in the aftermath of an Apocalypse. 7/10. On Netflix.

The whole thing starts off with lots of people, but you can feel the loneliness of the main character. So the tone is set from the get go, even with all the stuff happening around us. After the initial start and night though, there is a lot of small and silent steps the movie takes. For some this may feel like the movie drags out.

It's just the pace of the movie of course. So while you are not "wrong" for feeling one way or the other, the movie stays true to itself. It's how you like that genre and the way the movie handles itself. If you stay with it, I guess you can say you get rewarded. Not in a big flashy way, but you knew that already ... violence is key, though the drama part of the movie is way bigger. Creepy, silent horror sneaking up on you ...

(2018) The Night Eats the World SCIENCE-FICTION PSYCHOLOGICAL DRAMA HORROR/ THRILLER

Adapted from the novel by Pit Agarmen that has Sam (Anders Danielsen Lie) attending to his ex's place who happens to have a party to retrieve a box of tape cassettes. As soon as he's informed which room his tape cassettes might be, one of his ex's guest's from the party accidentally hits him while he is heading to the room. As soon as he finds what he was looking he then notices he has a nose bleed and decides to attend to that first before he locks himself in the room and while feeling doozy he then decides to take a snooze on a chair. On the following morning by the time he wakes up, the town has already been ravaged by zombie apocalypse. And it was at this point, it suddenly becomes "Dawn of the Dead" meets "Omega Man" where he barricades himself to a single apartment. He also searches for food and other things from other apartment complex in his building.

I highly doubt the few knives he managed to garner, that their should be more than the few viewers had saw. On one scene Sam managed to obtain a rifle from a guy living below him, later it suddenly became a sawed off shotgun. Also, if he used his imagination, he could also have build a long plank to check other buildings. Anyways, there was many things the makers could have done with the Sam character while he is isolated.

The Night Eats the World is a more serious and realistic "walking dead" film from France. It's also pretty good, though it has it's flaws including a very unrealistically timed demise of one of the characters. Our hero here also seems to have seen a few zombie movies as he seems to understand what he is dealing with rather quickly. That nitpicking aside, this is a good film in this genre, but it is not really an action film if that is what you are expecting, though there is some. The lead actor, Anders Danielsen Lie, is very good and is quite a guy in real life. He clearly is musically inclined, as indicated in this film, and he is a practicing medical doctor and I would bet a pretty popular one especially after starring in the recently acclaimed The Worst Person in the World. This is more a study of a man trying to retain his sanity in a world gone mad than the usual bloody & violent films about dead people who just won't quit. It's not among the most exciting zombie movies, but it is among the more thoughtful ones. I liked the ending.

After 20 minutes I gathered that there is no dialogue in this movie. Even the zombies are mute. After 40 minutes I turned it off because I was so bored. I'm sure some will argue that there's a 'deeper meaning' behind this movie, but I just couldn't stick it out to see for myself. How this has more than a 3* rating is beyond me. Nothing happens. It's just a guy who wakes up and realises that everyone is a zombie. We then follow him round his apartment whilst he lives out his days and makes no attempt to escape or contact others. If you're looking for the usual action-packed zombie horror movie, this is not it.

If you like zombie movies then this is worth watching. The end came a little too abruptly (which is why I gave it a 7 instead of an 8 or 9), but this was an interesting take on the genre. Well done by the main actor, the screen writer and the director.
