Charlton Heston plays the Last Man On Earth after everybody else has been transformed by a plague into albino vampires in this so-so adaptation of Richard Matheson’s novel I Am Legend. Some nice post-apocalyptic moments in the first half, but the vampires really aren’t scary enough and the allegorical ending is on a par with a flying mallet. Disappointing.
