Trivia
Most of the movie takes place in the wedge-shaped building located at the corner of Boulevard Saint-Michel and Avenue de l'Observatorie, in Paris. Note, however, that the building looks different in the early top-down shot of the main character running from one end of the roof to the other. That is because the building in real life does not have an open rooftop. The rooftop in the top-down shot was digitally superimposed onto the real-life building. And the other rooftop scenes were shot on an entirely different building. (Also, in real life, the building is much larger than it would seem from that digital superimposition.)

Goofs
When Sam is talking to the zombie trapped in the elevator, his right hand is bandaged. However, he does not injure his hand until he ventures outside several scenes later to try to rescue the stray cat, suggesting that the scenes were spliced into the film in the wrong order.

Thought Provoking Horror

Is it better to be alive and alone in a zombie apocalypse or dead and or a zombie? This one does a thorough and solid job of answering all those questions. Zombies and effects are done well but there are long stretches of being stuck with the main character which adds to the sense of claustrophobia. A dilemma worth watching.
