- TriviaMost of the movie takes place in the wedge-shaped building located at the corner of Boulevard Saint-Michel and Avenue de l'Observatorie, in Paris. Note, however, that the building looks different in the early top-down shot of the main character running from one end of the roof to the other. That is because the building in real life does not have an open rooftop. The rooftop in the top-down shot was digitally superimposed onto the real-life building. And the other rooftop scenes were shot on an entirely different building. (Also, in real life, the building is much larger than it would seem from that digital superimposition.)
- GoofsWhen Sam is talking to the zombie trapped in the elevator, his right hand is bandaged. However, he does not injure his hand until he ventures outside several scenes later to try to rescue the stray cat, suggesting that the scenes were spliced into the film in the wrong order.

Featured review
The curiously titled The Night Eats the World is a french zombie movie, though to appeal to the masses was filmed in English.
It tells the story of a man who falls asleep at a party only to wake up to a zombie apocalypse. If you're expecting an action packed bloody zombie movie, this simply isn't for you.
The movie takes a simple and rather realistic approach, namely one man alone and what he does to pass the time while the world around him turns to chaos.
Early on I was impressed, it was looking like this might be a likeable zombie affair but sadly the quality dips and it falls into the grindy repetitive and excessively depressing category.
The film has its moments but when the credits roll you'll likely be very aware that this movie will be gone from your memory within a week. It's all just so very underwhelming and ultimately goes nowhere.
I'd say nice try, but I'd be lying.
The Good:
Has its moments
Original take on a waning sub-genre
The Bad:
Rather dull
Goes out with a fizzle not a bang
Things I Learnt From This Movie:
Lonliness causes insanity? Guess I'm a lunatic
Everyone needs a zombie friend.
