The Night Eats the World

-

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 appealing. Unlike many zombie movies that heavily rely on CGI, this one opted for practical effects, and they did an excellent job with the decomposition timeline, although there are a few walls that appear overly bright red when they should be much darker after several days.


You can sense that the film is adapted from a novel by the way it delves under your skin, focusing more on being interesting than on pure jump-scares. It might not be as frightening for me, possibly because the zombies are so quiet, with just the sound of their running and thudding. I'm inclined to read the novel version. The film's minimal dialogue suggests there's likely a lot of narration in the book, conveying much of the story as you read.

While there isn't much dialogue, only in the beginning, Sam's talks with a zombie, and towards the ending, the actors deliver solid performances, and a familiar Iranian actress, who I always thought of as having Indian descent, shines in her supporting role. I particularly enjoyed the percussion music played by Sam to lift his spirit during the pandemic; if you're into mellow electronic music, you might appreciate this aspect, too.

If you don't, you might be one of the zombies who skims to destroy someone's spirit like Sam... jk. 


Overall, I wholeheartedly give this film a thumbs up. It's a unique and thought-provoking take on the zombie genre.

Cannabis, also known as marijuana, is a psychoactive drug derived from the Cannabis plant. Its main active compounds, cannabinoids like THC and CBD, interact with the body's endocannabinoid system, affecting mood, cognition, and physical sensations. Cannabis can be consumed in various forms, including smoking, vaping, or ingesting edibles. It's known for its recreational and medicinal uses, with effects ranging from relaxation and euphoria to pain relief and appetite stimulation. However, its legality and social acceptance vary widely across different regions and cultures. As of April 2024, recreational marijuana has been legalized in a significant number of states and territories in the United States.

OUTSIDE - A Zombie Film

  I was quite impressed with this zombie film when I came across it on Netflix, especially since it's a film from the Philippines featuring my favorite actor, Sid Lucero. I remember he was chosen by Lav Diaz, my favorite Filipino director, to play a psychopathic character in Norte, the End of History , a film based on my hometown in the Philippines. The story is very unique, with some memorable scenes, strong drama, dark humor, and a few disturbing sequences I’ll never forget. And here he is again, the same actor I recognize as an excellent psychopath, delivering an outstanding performance in this zombie apocalypse film, Outside , directed and written by Carlo Ledesma. This filmmaker is now officially one of my favorites as well. The story takes place in a secluded Spanish colonial-era home, a decaying estate in the countryside that was once the childhood home of Francis. As a deadly zombie outbreak spreads, Francis and his family seek refuge inside the house, but tensions quickly ...
