The Plot…

When Sam goes to his ex-girlfriend’s apartment to pick up his belongings, a huge party is going on.  Sam is finally able to catch up to his ex and she tells him his things are in a back room.  Sam goes in and closes the door to get away from the crowd.  He sits down and falls asleep.

When Sam wakes the apartment is empty.  But there are signs of a massacre.  Blood on the walls… the floors.  Thankfully Sam is alone.  He locks the door.

As he looks out the window he see more bloodshed and destruction.  Then he spots a family running to a parked car.  Before they can escape the family is swarmed and killed.

The zombie apocalypse is well underway… and Sam is trapped in the apartment.

Thoughts (beware of spoilers)…

The Night Eats the World (2018) is a SLOW burn.  If you’re into that, you’ll like it more than me.  I prefer more action in zombie movies.

The Night Eats the World (2018) rates 2 of 5 stars.
