1971 sci-fi adventure movieRating: 10/20
Plot: See the superior The Last Man on Earth and the completely awful I Am Legend. Only this one has more black people.
This is comparable to the Vincent Price movie right up until the monster things start talking. When Charlton Heston is driving around, playing chess with a bust, and screaming, "There is no phone ringing, damn it!" it's all fairly entertaining. There's just too much human interaction in this. The acting is terrible. The zombies are stupid looking. The music is so bad that it somehow manages to look stupid, too. A product of the early 70's as much as the Will Smith version is going to be firmly stuck in this decade, this barely entertains and grows more and more tedious as it goes on. At least the chess in it looks real enough.
