Non-vocal zombies make for a fine and creepy innovation. And not a rampaging horde in sight.

The Night Eats the World is a minimalist horror film, well made and very well acted and not without interest. But anyone expecting the usual thrills of a zombie movie will be quickly disillusioned.

If you are going to take a dusty old premise, you have to be creative -- and director Dominique Rocher does this with flair.

The going is very slow, and unlike other films that manage to have a single character carry the film while keeping the audience engaged, it becomes tedious not too far in.

The Night Ate the World is unhurried, thought-provoking, and features an absorbing performance from Anders Danielsen Lie to make something new out of an aged premise.

The Night Eats the World is a well-crafted nightmare that holds its own among the best zombie films in recent memory.

At first, I thought it was going to just another version of "28 days later," but it proved to be unique in its own way. Simple, intimist, and amazing

Get on with it? This was a rough, slow watch, I can handle there not being many zombie actions scenes, but to balance it out with almost no character drama either..

The zombies were fine, but the main character was very infuriating and had very little charisma. I did not care for the guy, not relatable, not interesting… Literally hard to watch and a waste of time.

Stupid main character super frustrating decisions. And not even in French wth. Would’ve given one star if I could. What waste waste of my time.

Well acted and bit of a different premise but it is not enough to successful carry the film forward other than just being ok. It does become tedious.

Some hits and some misses in an atypical zombie movie. Watchable, a bit odd
