This Will Almost Certainly Suck

And it's too bad, because the Richard Matheson book is so incredible. There have been two previous attempts - 1964's The Last Man On Earth, starring Vincent Price, and 1971's The Omega Man, starring Mr. NRA. Neither movie really got it right.

It's been a few years since I've read it, but the book does an excellent job of describing Robert Neville's plight as the only survivor of an apocalypse in which all other humans have become vampires. His loneliness is palpable, and it's particularly creepy how the vampires come back - night after night after night - and bang on his door, taunting him with insults and naked women. Come to think of it, I think the naked women insult him, too.
