The Omega Man (1971)

IMDB

"Sorry the world didn't make it."

Blasphemy, blas for you, blas for everybody in the world.
Apparently utterly unlike the book, which is useful to know because Craig said Matheson's I Am Legend (not Will Smith's) is pretty good. Which I'll have to now go and read: nice premise, but what I'm sure are religious undertones in the book are brought forward and overplayed, somewhat. No surprise in a Chuck Heston film, perhaps...
And it's aged pretty badly, yo.

I really love zombie movies. I haven't seen or read "I am legend" but my father says that it's exactly like Omega Man... I mean who could ever get tired of the same old virus story? Really.
