A young man wakes up one morning to find himself in the building where he lives filled with living zombies who invade the streets of Paris in a terrible way. The young man begins to accept the state of terror he is living with a group of other survivors, and there was no way but to restrain himself in the building and not go out.
"The Night Eats the World" just feels like several rudderless months stuck in a building with a guy who probably wasn't all that fascinating before zombies struck, and isn't any more so now.
The Night Eats The World is engaging, emotional, scary, and simply a masterpiece. This is the kind of movie that takes the tried and true subject of zombies and gives it a wonderful twist.
Even as the story drifts off, Night Eats the World derives its power from a beguiling, provocative implication: It's hard to confront a hostile world, but gathering the courage to do so doesn't make the job any easier.
