Neville slowly begins to loose his sanity as loneliness drives him to the edge of despair. All the while the mutants begin plotting his downfall but it soon becomes apparent that maybe he isn’t the only survivor of the plague after all.

0 #1 Pat 2009-07-06 18:25 This is a great movie. By far the best depiction of the Novel by Richard Matheson even though he denounced the movie and quit the film. Charlton Heston is excellent in this shoot-em-up zombie/virus movie. Quote
 
 
0 #2 Mitur Binesderti 2010-01-22 04:59 This movie gets way too much credit. It's got that horrible 70's video tape look with sets that had no art direction at all. The sets are very flat and unbelievable which is really distracting. A much better film is "The Last Man on Earth" with Vincent Price which is also based on the same book. Quote

Charlton Heston is great in this!

Nightstalkers? So when the bombs fell, all the mutants got free Black-robes from Jezus?. Im sorry but the way these "bad guys" are portrayed was just redicilious.

In my opinion the remake "I AM LEGEND" was a far far greater movie. Not because of the Special effects or the better quality. No, I am legend had actual mutants/zombies and no dudes in black robes.
