The Night Eats the World

Image
The Night Eats the World is indeed a French film that explores the zombie apocalypse scenario. In the movie, the protagonist, Sam, wakes up after a party in an apartment in Paris to discover that the city has been overrun by zombies. He finds himself alone and must figure out how to survive in this new, dangerous world. The film is a character-driven story that focuses on Sam's psychological journey as he copes with isolation and tries to adapt to his dire circumstances. It offers a unique take on the zombie genre, emphasizing the psychological aspects of survival. The film Night Eats the World (original title "La Nuit a dévoré le monde") is directed by Dominique Rocher . The screenplay for the film is based on a novel by Pit Agarmen , and the adaptation for the screen was done by Jérémie Guez , Guillaume Lemans , and Dominique Rocher . This film is a masterpiece. It stands out from other zombie films due to the zombies' notably quiet behavior, which I find quite appe

The Crazies

The Crazies is a 2010 horror-thriller film directed by Breck Eisner . It is a remake of George A. Romero's 1973 film of the same name. The story is set in a small town where a toxin contaminates the water supply, causing the residents to go insane and turn violent. The film follows the struggles of the town's sheriff and his wife as they try to survive and escape the chaos. It's known for its tense and suspenseful atmosphere, as well as its exploration of the breakdown of society in a crisis. Zombies with guns? Well, not exactly reanimated corpses, but rather living beings infected with a virus that compels them to kill each other, ultimately resembling zombies, regardless of their previous personalities. It all began when some kind of biological weapon contaminated a military plane, causing it to crash-land in a small town's lake, contaminating the water supply. As people drank the water, they initially developed Alzheimer's symptoms and slowly transformed into t

Train to Busan 2: PENINSULA

Train to Busan 2 , also known as Peninsula , is a South Korean zombie apocalypse film and the sequel to the 2016 film Train to Busan . In Peninsula , the story is set four years after the events of the first film. It follows a soldier named Jung-seok, who is sent on a mission to retrieve an enormous sum of money left in the quarantined and zombie-infested city of Incheon. Jung-seok and his team must navigate this dangerous, post-apocalyptic world while contending with not only the undead but also human survivors who have become ruthless in their struggle to survive. The film explores themes of survival, loss, and the dark aspects of human nature in a world overrun by zombies. Exploring more zombie films, predominantly of Korean origin, I initially assumed a different director, but as the film unfolded, the familiar emotional depth emerged. It is the same filmmaker  Yeon Sang-ho .  In this desolate city overrun by zombies, corrupt individuals exploit the remnants, with soldiers and a h

Gangnam Zombie

October is already here, and it's remarkable how I've managed to accomplish something I never thought possible when I first began developing these plots a decade ago. SWARM . Initially, the idea was to collaborate with comic book artists and explore what defines elite soldiers and other things. Now, I find myself overflowing with gratitude, unable to stop writing about it. It's as though I've stumbled upon one of life's journeys, magical realms, yet simultaneously grappling with the demons of doubt that persist. This blog, however, is about films or books I gathered to inspire me to write about zombies and their drama. This particular book I am doing is the more modern version of the original zombie movie, White Zombie . And I am trying to make it unique as possible with other stories like it. Nonetheless, this journey has grown beyond all expectations, evolving into what will ultimately become a novel. With newfound confidence, I'm gearing up to take a more tra
