Zombies Overrun Paris in This 2018 Hidden Horror Gem — But That's Not the Worst Part

While horror is filled with dozens of great subgenres, few are as beloved as 'Zombie Apocalypse.' These are the films that pit their main characters against endless hordes of undead, flesh-eating monsters. It's a concept that has been played out countless times before, making it difficult for one blood-soaked feature to stand out from the cannibalistic masses— but Dominique Rocher's The Night Eats the World manages to do just that. In a subgenre built on moaning mouths tearing people apart, this film strikes a more subtle kind of fear. The Night Eats the World gives us a unique zombie and digs into the heart of this concept. It questions what it would be like to try and escape these creatures and the horrors of trying to survive in this suddenly terrifying world. Through its heartwrenching protagonist and the terrors he's forced to confront, it reveals the true monster that people in this twisted scenario would have to face: loneliness.
