As scientists discover a cure for cancer they also unwittingly unleash a virus that wipes out nearly all of humanity. Most of the world's inhabitants die immediately. Those who survive the infection are turned into blood-craving creature-like cannibals who cannot withstand exposure to direct sunlight. Those few who were immune to the virus ultimately fall prey to the infected beasts. Three years pass and no one is left alive... except for Robert Neville (Will Smith) -- The Last Man on Earth...continue reading this review at Geeks of Doom!

Geeks Gear Up For 'I Am Legend'

WEEK OF GEEK SERIES: I AM LEGEND: PART VI

In this penultimate entry in our I AM LEGEND series, the Geeks of Doom staff offers up their thoughts on the film, which opens in theaters today. I Am Legend stars Will Smith and is based on the novel by Richard Matheson and well as the 1971 film adaptation The Omega Man.

I Am Legend is also opening in IMAX, so those of you who can catch it all the BIG screen will get a real treat -- the prologue for The Dark Knight is running as a trailer before the IMAX screening.

Cinema Junkie
The Omega Man is one of my favorite films from Charlton Heston's era of apocalyptic cinema. The Omega Man ranks right up there with Planet Of The Apes and Soylent Green. Every generation deserves its own version of Richard Matheson's classic I Am Legend. As much as I love The Omega Man, I cannot say I was upset with the news of another version. It has been in development hell for a long time. I am excited for this version with Will Smith, it looks like the most accurate version yet. Will Smith as Robert Neville, from the trailer it looks like he will bring his style to the role just as Heston and Vincent Price did in their films. Friday cannot get here soon enough...see what the rest of the Doom Writers have to say at Geeks of Doom!

Comic Review: 'I Am Legend: Awakening'

WEEK OF GEEK SERIES: I AM LEGEND: PART V

DC/Vertigo has created a free online comic book that serves as a prequel to the upcoming Warner Bros. film, I Am Legend, which sees a deadly virus leave one human survivor on Earth (Will Smith starring as Robert Neville) amongst a newly formed race of humans-turned-vampire/zombies.

There are four issues in the online series, titled I Am Legend: Awakening, set in the world of Richard Matheson's 1954 novel I Am Legend and told through the experiences of some of the earlier survivors before the introduction of Robert Neville. The virus at this point has killed off many people, but those who've survived are either immune or infected, the latter transformed into vampire-like beings who, after dark, prey on the living...continue reading this review at Geeks of Doom!

Starring Vincent Price, Franca Bettoia, Emma Danieli, Giacomo Rossi-Stuart, Umberto Raho, Christi Courtland

After a mysterious plague decimates the entire planet and wipes out the entire human race, Dr. Robert Morgan (Vincent Price) literally believes he is the last man on Earth. But he is certainly not alone, for the plague has turned all those who are infected into mindless zombie-like vampires who sleep during the day and at night call for Robert's blood. During the day, Robert kills as many of the vampires as he can with homemade stakes and collects the goods he needs to survive. By night, he barricades himself into his home in order to see the next sunrise. But while out on his daily errands one day, he comes across vampires that have been killed by someone other than himself, and more importantly, comes across a rather mysterious woman that is able to walk in the sun! Cautiously, Robert brings the woman back to his house, not sure of just where this newfound revelation of information will lead...continue reading this review at Geeks of Doom!

I Am Legend
Written by Richard Matheson
Tor Books

Robert Neville is the last man on Earth, but he is far from the last living being. It has been several years since an unknown plague covered the Earth and seemingly wiped out every human, save for Robert. But those humans that died did not stay dead, and have now returned to life as vampires, thirsting for human blood. For Robert's blood. By day, Robert goes through a strict routine to fortify his home with mirrors, garlic, and nailed-up boards, and hand making the endless amount of stakes needed for his other daily routine -- vampire slaying. By night, Robert sits in his home, listening to classical music and drinking himself to sleep while vampires stumble around and call for him to come out...continue reading this review at Geeks of Doom!
