| The Matheson Book is one of my favorites. It's really cool.
The plot in the book is basically that 1 guy is (supposedly) the last man to be infected by some sort of virus that's turned everyone into some sort of unspecified vampire/zombie. By day, he can roam freely around, but by night, he barricades himself in his house.
I know it sounds cliche nowdays, but it was written 50+ years ago. If you read the book as a somewhat "original" it's really great. The story has been borrowed from so many times, though, that a movie 50 years later might seem a little played out. But, I am not aware of any major works before it with that idea.
I think it *could* be good though. |
