    The Night Eats the World (film)

    Caught this on Netflix... I actually really enjoyed it.

    The character wasn’t an idiot. The setting was awesome. I feel the film didn’t try to overstretch it’s budget so the presentation and makeup were both really polished. No cheesy zombie deaths, no fetishising guns or big cheesy apocalyptic cgi military scenes. The main actor gave a great performance and I was really able to empathise with his character almost the whole way through the film.

    Definitely a good glimpse at the psychology of someone holed up on their own after a zombie outbreak. Loved it!

    Not too sure about the end... *spoilers*

     
    The girl suddendly killing herself? Why?

    And the ending implied what? He heard a bell and plenty of tightly packed roofs to cross?
    Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

    She didn't kill herself, she never survived the gunshot, he had hallucinated her being there the whole time.
