The Night Eats the World (2018)

A man falls asleep in a back room during a party and wakes up to a world full of zombies. He's resourceful, relatable, and I just liked him a lot. Maybe it's his natural tendency toward solitude that makes this new world livable for him, but he eventually needs society. When a zombie gets trapped in the apartment's elevator (the kind with a metal gate), Sam visits and chats with him regularly. And then, when a young woman ventures into the building, he's eager to take her in.

We've this story many, many times -- but the difference here is that Sam is a wonderful avatar. His reactions are practical and I enjoyed spending time with him. It's a worthy addition to the genre.
