Francis Lawrence directs this third remake of Richard Matheson's novel of the same name, this time with ever-woody 'actor' Will Smith doing his usual - yawn - shtick. Previous, and better versions were, The Omega Man (1971) with Charlton Heston and The Last Man on Earth (1964) with Vincent Price. Lawrence's version is oh-so-slow to start and doomed from the outset by Smith's acting, which left me cold and rooting for the vampires, if only to shut him up.
That said, the night creatures are brilliantly executed in this film and for that - and that alone - my rating 4 out of 10.
