| Great performance by Anders Danielsen Lie as Sam. |
In La Nuit A Dévoré Le Monde, Anders Danielsen Lie plays Sam, a musician who goes to a party in an apartment to get his cassette tapes back from his ex-girlfriend (played by Sigrid Bouaziz). Things are going bad at the party when he finally finds the case containing his cassette tapes. Dealing with a head injury (an accident that occurred on his way to the room containing the cassettes), he sits down and falls asleep.
When Sam wakes up, the apartment is completely trashed, and there is no sign of any of the party goers. He opens the door to leave, and his girlfriend and others on the other side lunge at him...except now they are zombies! Sam looks outside, and the street is full of zombies! He seems to be the only survivor of a zombie apocalypse that has occurred in Paris, France!

| There's some nice music in this movie! |
Sam decides to stay in the apartment and set up base there. He goes through all the rooms looking for supplies. He plays a little music now and then. He listens to all the cassette tapes he can find. He lives a lonely life with no one to talk to...except a zombie (played by Denis Lavant) who is stuck behind an elevator door. Throughout the movie Sam does things intelligently, but it's when he messes up that things go very bad for him. Can Sam survive the zombie apocalypse by himself?
I've been interested in La Nuit A Dévoré Le Monde since I first found out about it, and I finally got to watch it this year. I enjoyed this movie very much. In fact, I loved it! It's a different kind of zombie movie, as there is not that much violence or gore (there is still plenty of that, but it's spread out and most of it is at the end). It's all about how one man is able to survive the apocalypse by himself, and how that solitude affects him. I like that Sam is a normal guy; he makes a lot of smart decisions, but he also makes some bad decisions based on his emotions. I also like that there is a musical element to the movie (as in, Sam plays music with what's around him, not that he's singing show tunes). I also like how the zombies are pretty quiet in this. If you couldn't smell them, you wouldn't know what's behind the next door! The special effects are good; there's some gross gory stuff in this. Really nice visuals in this, the Paris skyline is beautiful yet creepy, with no life around for miles (or kilometers).

| A shot nightmares are made of! |
I highly recommend watching La Nuit A Dévoré Le Monde! Really well made zombie movie. It may seem slow and even boring to some, but it all builds to something. I find the whole movie entertaining and fascinating. You really don't need a lot of words to tell a compelling story, and this movie is an example of that. If you were the last person left in a zombie apocalypse, how long do you think you could survive?
