The Night Eats the World

About half way through it starts to drag. Not to mention the obvious plots holes in the days of technology when everyone has a phone, things aren’t really even assumed never mind confirmed.

I very realistic look at what one could/would end up doing in a Zombie Apocalypse.

As a fan of horror, but not turned on by slasher flicks, minimalism like this goes a long way. Zombie movies are only as interesting as the interactions between the survivors and the threats that occur around them. WIth lots of fresh ideas, 'The Night That Eats The World' proves that the Zombie genre still has lots to offer. Humans need other humans, even as we are surrounded by threats and are required to react to them. Good job!

Cool zombie sounds but that's it.

Pretty solid zombie flick.

A truly innovative movie. Essentially a psychological survival movie. The zombies are mere backdrop, as is Paris. I found it haunting. The lowish audience ratings here reflects people looking for stereotype slashing. When this is existential. And kudos to the lead (alnost only significant) actor here.

The Night Eats the World is atmospheric, different, and keeps you hooked from start to finish. The eerie silence and unique focus on isolation make it stand out in the zombie genre. I’d love to see a part two, but at the same time, I worry it might lose what made this so special and end up feeling like every other zombie movie out there. An underrated gem of a movie.

"La Noche Devora el Mundo" ofrece una visión introspectiva dentro del género de zombies, centrando la historia en un único protagonista que enfrenta el aislamiento extremo. La película destaca por su exploración de la psicología del personaje, mostrando de manera convincente su lucha por mantener la cordura en medio de la soledad. Aunque logra generar momentos de tensión y reflexión, en ocasiones la trama puede sentirse algo lenta y menos dinámica de lo esperado para una película de este género. La actuación principal es sólida, transmitiendo eficazmente la desesperación y el desgaste emocional del protagonista. En resumen, es una propuesta interesante para quienes buscan una narrativa más profunda y contemplativa en las historias de zombies.

If your idea of a good zombie movie is World War Z, then this film is not for you. If you, like me however, can appreciate a tautly written, humanist picture, focused on what it takes to mentally prevail against total isolation and despair, with moderate lashings of jaw snapping zombie horror, then The Night Eats The World is more than worth a watch. Where so many zombie films focus on vapid action, cheap shock factor deaths and gore for gore’s sake, this film firmly plants itself as a post apocalyptic character study, not afraid to take its time to explore the smaller stakes of every day survival at the end of the world. That’s not to say that this film is afraid of the dark, however… The Night Eats The World also manages to establish a suspenseful atmosphere of impending dread, punctuated by its fair share of heart racing, near death zombie encounters. Director Dominique Rocher proves that good horror can be more than gruesome bloodshed or predictable jump scares, providing tense set pieces and fast paced life or death brushes with the undead. Darkly funny at times, this slow burn thriller is also brutally damning in its emotional dramas, with lead actor Anders Danielsen Lie exhibiting a breadth of nuanced character moments as well as explosive acts of emotional exhilaration. Unfortunately reinventing the wheel is impossible at this point and many films and tv series have undoubtedly traveled familiar ground. Yet Rocher manages to bring some fresh perspectives to an overplayed, but still very much enjoyable genre. If you’ve read this far into the review and are still interested in watching, then you’re more than likely of the temperament to enjoy this film. I’d recommend you ignore the audience scorers who prioritise popcorn entertainment over sincere cinema.

What a bore. It's nothing better than a college film made on a no-string budget.
