Chess with Caeser


The Omega Man (1971)

Directed by Boris Sagal this film based on the novel “I Am Legend” stars Charlton Heston, Anthony Zerbe and Rosalind Cash. A man that is immune to a plague that has wiped out most of humanity is hunted by diseased sufferers.

This is the second of three major adaptations of the same novel and like the others it differs from the novel in various ways. The film explores the ideas of man's role and responsibility for his own downfall pretty well even if not with that much depth. While there are good performances from the cast some of the make up on the infected is a little suspect.

3/5
