Going into the film, I had expectations that perhaps The Night Eats the World would be more
like the French Extremism movement that dominated the 00s and gave us some
fantastic and experiential films. Maybe it might be a bit more artful, knowing
that the film was essentially carried by one actor, but that it would still
carry the impact of the violence and nihilism of that movement. The French
Extremism powered a lot of fantastic zombie and zombie-esque films (see The Horde, Mutants) so those expectations didn’t seem nearly out of the line going
into the film as they did by the time the credits began to roll.
