3/10
Is it so fucking hard to translate a killer book into a movie?! Loved the Matheson novel and cannot understand the liberties this movie took with the source material for the worst. The entire implication of the title is lost as well as the besieged isolationism and taunting vampires. What we got was a pseudo-zombie pointless adaptation. Will Smith could’ve been a great Neville but, alas, we received the Fresh Prince of Mediocre Zombie-ville. The 1964’s Last Man On Earth still holds up as the best adaptation of the book.
Loved the isolation that actually is depicted and his desperation for camaraderie.
Hated the dog scene. There’s a dog in the book but this seemed shoehorned in and was wholly unappreciated.
