>He never looked at them anymore. In the beginning he’d made a peephole in the front window and watched them. But then the women had seen him and had started striking vile postures in order to entice him out of the house. He didn’t want to look at that. It was the women who made it so difficult, he thought, the women posing like lewd puppets in the night on the possibility that he’d see them and decide to come out
Why didn't the movie contain this scene?

because that implies they know where he is which makes no sense
Sure it did. He had a vampire proof house. Although not in this movie
He put garlic and mirrors all around his house. Vampires hate that shit. The Last Man on Earth is a much closer adaption to the original story.
Would women zombies really do this? That's frightening and erotic
They weren't zombies. They could make babies and everything.
They weren't dumb zombies like they are in I Am Legend.
I'm just saying it's almost as frightening as real women
In the book they were pretty scared of him to my knowledge. They just wanted to lure him out like a boogeyman and finish him off. It doesn't really make much sense that none of them were curious enough to try primitive diplomacy or read all the book or paraphernalia laid about. It was a lot more interesting than regular zombie stuff, but asked for much more exploration. Still way better than the movie.
The book's ending was so dumb that it made me hate it.. He was killing feral vampires and was accused of murdering civilized vampires. It was dumb.
I'd like the movie a lot more if they didn't use the grenade ending by default, and they didn't kill the dog companion.
>He was killing feral vampires and was accused of murdering civilized vampires
That was the whole point of the book. Where civilization got so fricked up that the monsters were the normies and he was the monster now in the story.
>the monsters were the normies
No they weren't. The civilized vampires literally made a point of telling him they were no longer feral, no longer drink blood, can go into the sunlight, actively kill the undead vampires etc etc.
He was killing FERAL vampires.
He was not killing CIVILIZED vampires.
He was treated like he was killing CIVILIZED VAMPIRES.
if they can go into the sunlight why werent they ever doing it?
Because they were feral and thus didn't have the technology to allow them to do so. When they became civilized they started making rapid technological advancements.
>if they can go into the sunlight why werent they ever doing it?
they were gamers
They had pussies in their faces
While you kind of have a point, by the same logic, if there was a vampire that slaughtered "feral humans" - African Americans for example - "civilized humans" would probably also decide it needed to be killed as it had no place in a modern society. And that's what it was really about at the end of the story. Post-vampire society was authoritarian and brutal and creating a new world through violent extermination which he would have no part in.
I still don't see it. Especially because they were killing undead vampires. From both their pov and his, he was in error in that he didn't know ferals (but not undead) can be civilized, but he shouldn't have been seen as a boogeyman.
Black person analogies don't really work here.
Doesn't matter its like if you go around killing criminal Black folk. People don't see you doing that they just see you as a murderer
>Where civilization got so fricked up that the monsters were the normies and he was the monster now in the story.
whoa.... humanity is... bad guy?
The difference is when it was written that was a novel twist for a novel. Not some hacknied trope
Not really because we had gone extinct by then except the last man on earth.
He did kill civilized vampires though since he didn't know they existed. If I recall he killed the woman's husband.
I assumed they were both feral at the time.
>Kills the woman's husband
>She's terrified of him
>Eventually becomes interested towards him sexually
Typical
Killing the dog is the only thing I really remember from this movie, that and he him going Allah ackbar with the grenade in his hand instead of throwing it for no reason.
For me, it was his former friend who would shout his name all night then hide during the day.
Turns out he was sleeping in the chimney of a nearby house which is why he was never able to find him.
It's been a while since I read it but doesn't he also at one point use a torah to frick with his old israeli neighbour who was now also a vampire? I remember laughing at that my first time reading the novel.
they should make a proper adaptation of the book. The concept is really cool.
Watch The Last Man on Earth, its pure Vincent Price kino and mogs the shit out of I Am Legend
I know this movie is le bad but the sundown scene is pretty kino
The original novel was the perfect dramatic treatment of otherness -- he thinks they're the monsters and he's the man, but at the climax, he realizes that, because they're the majority and he's alone, and he's killing them, they're the new normal, and it is he who is actually the monster. Akiva Goldsman totally ruined this.
This movie is so fricking dogshit I'm surprised will smith did it
Really? Was this one before or after that other famous science fiction property ruined by Akiva Goldsman and starring Will Smith?
Reading the book, especially the parts where he talks about his house, doing maintenance etc to keep the vampires out made me really tempted to try one of those mobile games where you do the same for zombies
Omega Man started all this woke shit. Fricking had a white man kissing a Black person on the big screen.
Well the short story was nuanced and they weren't zombies but vampires. This movie was a terrible adaptation I hate ti so much. I WAS SAVIN DAT BACON LOL!!1!
I wouldn't be able to resist the temptation. My fetish is monster girls and if I saw a vampire zombie b***h striking lewd poses and beckoning me to come outside, I would 100% run out there with my wiener hard as diamonds and try to frick them. I wouldn't last a day under such pressure.
Just frick a dead one. The ones he killed. Frick a different one every dayb
regret reading the book
absolute drivel, the movie is actually much better
Why didn't he just make a glory hole
It would imply that they knew he lived in there and that would be dumb, because the ending showed that when they knew where he lived they could get in past all his defenses.
Why didn't he just fug the vampires while they were tomatose in the day
He probably did at some point
