Book Review

I am Legend book by Richard Matheson available from Amazon.com.

Editorial Reviews One of the most influential vampire novels of the 20th century, I Am Legend regularly appears on the "10 Best" lists of numerous critical studies of the horror genre. As Richard Matheson's third novel, it was first marketed as science fiction (for although written in 1954, the story takes place in a future 1976). A terrible plague has decimated the world, and those who were unfortunate enough to survive have been transformed into blood-thirsty creatures of the night. Except, that is, for Robert Neville. He alone appears to be immune to this disease, but the grim irony is that now he is the outsider. He is the legendary monster who must be destroyed because he is different from everyone else. Employing a stark, almost documentary style, Richard Matheson was one of the first writers to convince us that the undead can lurk in a local supermarket freezer as well as a remote Gothic castle. His influence on a generation of bestselling authors--including Stephen King and Dean Koontz--who first read him in their youth is, well, legendary. --Stanley Wiater

 

Film Reviews

The Last Man on Earh is now available on DVD.

Editorial Reviews If you can find it, get a copy of this film. Overlooked in it's day as a low budget film adaptation of 'I am Legend', Vincent Price's role is among his best performances. The DVD is availalbe for as little as one dollar from your local Dollar Stores, or even Walmart. You can download this film from the Internet archive, but the verison in the database is an older TV version and is of poor quality. Go ahead and spring for the $1.00 version. Based on Richard Matheson's I AM LEGEND, The Last Man on Earth is about a man who survives a global plague only to be stalked nightly by zombie-like vampire victims who call out his name. Vincent Price stars as Robert Morgan,[not Robert Neville] a scientist who tried desperately to come up with a cure for an airborne virus that was killing people around the globe. Although he could not develop a serum in time to save his family, he himself seems to be immune from the disease. Thus, he is left to wander the streets by day, staking zombie-vampires, then barricading himself in his house each night as these creatures try to break in and kill him. Price is excellent in the role, going about his horrible business as if it were just another day: waking up and eating breakfast, putting on a suit, calmly staking the vampire-zombies, making dinner, listening to records at night. But when he suddenly sees what looks like another living soul out in the daylight, his world is suddenly turned inside out.   -- Edited from http://movies.yahoo.com/movie/1800208676/details

The Omega Man is available on DVD.

Editorial Reviews 'I am Legend' was remade once again, this time as an action film, starring Charlton Heston as Robert Neville. IMHO, this film version veers off course, after a compelling introduction. It also removes the whole zombie-vampire theme, adds a Manson-like 'family' cult to the story, and with the hairstyles and hippy-dialog, the film feels dated now. Many changes were made, and the ending once again lacks the sort of treatment it should have been given. Once again, the story revolves around the last human survivor of a plague that ravishes mandkind. Turning the living into an army of the undead, Robert Nevill tries to outwit these sun fearing creatures, with machine guns, barb wire, fast cars, and grit. The Omega Man drifts even further from the source material, and for that, lacks the impact of the book. I kept feeling like Neville was on safari with the costumes, and the legion of the undead were light fearing albinos, in some sort of kooky cult. Heston give the role an interesting interpretation, of a man on the brink of madness. Still, a fun watch, and recommended to any fan of the EOTW genre. Still, the ending is not what it should have been. The Omega Man is available on DVD from Amazon.com.

I Am Legend is due for release in 2007.

Editorial Reviews 'I am Legend' is being remade yet once again. This time starring Wil Smith and directed by Francis Lawrence. This film is still in production and is scheduled to be released in 2007 is the first time a film adaptation has used the name from the book. Set in modern day New York, not LA, and Robert Neville this time is not a middle-aged white guy, it will be interesting to see how close this version is to the book. From what I have seen, it looks more like a remake of The Omega Man.
