The Night Eats the World

Sam wakes up alone in an apartment where a large party took place the night before, only to find that the streets of Paris have been overrun by the living dead. Cut off from the world, he barricades himself inside the building and tries to organize his survival, caught between the constant threat outside and the isolation closing in around him. The question of whether he is truly the only person left alive hangs over everything.

The film is directed by Dominique Rocher, who also co-wrote the screenplay with Guillaume Lemans and Jérémie Guez. It is set in France and blends drama, horror, science fiction and thriller elements across its 94-minute running time, produced by Carole Scotta for Haut et Court with backing from Canal+, Ciné+ and WTFilms. Anders Danielsen Lie plays Sam, alongside Golshifteh Farahani as Sarah, Denis Lavant as Alfred, Sigrid Bouaziz as Fanny, David Kammenos as Mathieu and Jean-Yves Cylly as the Neighbor Father, with thirty credited cast members and forty-four credited crew.

On TMDB, the film holds a rating of 6 out of 10 from 832 votes, suggesting a modest but settled reception among viewers. It was released in March 2018 and remains a contained, character-driven take on the zombie premise, focused less on the outbreak itself than on one man's attempt to keep living inside it.
