10 Most Unique Plots In Zombie Movies
8. The Night Eats The World
La nuit a dévoré le monde, aka The Night Eats the World, gives a fascinating look into what it would be like to survive the initial outbreak of a zombie apocalypse, and the impact the isolation of such a happening could have on a person's mental health.
Starring Anders Danielsen Lie as Sam, this Dominique Rocher movie acts as a character study of sorts. Having managed to successfully barricade himself into a safe spot once Paris is overrun by a zombie outbreak, Sam's victory slowly turns to a nightmare.
Unable to return to the streets, with zero company on the table, and with him having to use his dwindling smarts to think of fresh ways to have food and water, Sam's mental state eventually stars to decline as The Night Eats the World goes on.
Hallucinating and contemplating suicide, Lie's character is left with the tough decision of venturing out into the wild streets of Paris or remaining in hiding and risking further impact on his already wavering mental health.
While other zombie movies have at times focussed on those who have already been through wars with the undead, rarely if ever have audiences seen a film laser-focussed in on one individual left to battle their own isolated thoughts in addition to the shuffling hordes on their doorstep.
