Too much of everything

hyped garbage

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

In Paris, Sam reluctantly stays at a party. In the next morning, he awakens to an empty apartment and marauding bands of murderous people running out in the streets. They're fast moving cannibal zombies and he barricades himself in the building.This is a modern zombie movie with much of it stripped of action or tension. He's alone most of the time and that's its Archilles heel. For long stretches, there is no dialogue or even noise. It's an eerily quiet city which becomes an emptiness that the movie struggles to fill. When interactions do pop up, it lacks a depth into the characters. This is most noteworthy not for what it is but what it is without.

This zombie "thriller" spends an hour and a half wasting the audience's time as the main character spends all his time doing ridiculous everyday tasks while becoming insane in his apartment while a seemingly silent zombie apocalypse surrounds him.

So I watched more than 50 zombie movies for my studies, and this one is one of the most originals I seen. I like the pragmatism of the main character, who welcomes the new life of survival with a certain calm and meticulous mind. This movie felt quite satisfying and relaxing, like OCD-based, because of the precise character. I can relate to Sam annoyed by the crowd of the party and then being almost relieved in this zombie apocalypse. But he starts to feel lonely though, and the character progression is really interesting. Also, zombies make no sound. Huge difference from the main line in zombie tropes. Much scarier. I definitely recommend.

Never have I seen a boring zombie movie. Well, now I have. PASS on this one, unless you like movies that nothing happens in them.
