Tubi Thursday: The Night Eats the World (2018)

 After dissecting the hell out of its many Posters, I should check out the Film.

That was a bad idea...but it was MY bad idea...dammit.

A man goes to see his newly-ex-girlfriend at their old Apartment to get his stuff.

He keeps bugging her during a party until he locks himself in a room and falls asleep.

He wakes up in the morning to hear some weird noises and see the place empty...save for lots of blood.

Oh shit- Zombies!

Don't get too scared- he now has to spend the rest of the Film just kind of hanging out and trying not to go crazy.

He's even got his own Swiss Army Man (or is he Ed?).

So we get to watch him do some smart things- like try to make companionship-, some familiar things- buckets on the roof of the building to collect rainwater- and some really stupid things- like shoot first and ask questions never.

To find out how this Film ends, stream the Film now.

Not a meal, but a night snack.  Oh right- it's French.

If you want to see an Amuse Bouche in Film form, this is it.  Now just imagine that someone served this as your Entree and expected you to like it.

There's a good idea here- to an extent.

The idea that this guy has to adapt to life trapped in this Building- fine. 
The fact that he does this alone (save for one bit)- less fine. 
The fact that nothing really happens in 90 minutes- not good.

I guess this kind of thing is a European idea, as I watched a German Film in 2011 that is quite similar.  That one sucked too.

This could have worked.  Instead, I found myself yearning for something more interesting...

A slow, ponderous Film that feels like you took the first 20-30 minutes of a Film and made it the whole thing.  There's so little progression that it is just hard to care.
