Vampire vs Zombies By Gordon (Reblog The Omega Man and I Am Legend)

By Gordon Lam

This is reblog of Sharon's review on The Omega Man and I Am Legend. So I am not going to repeat those story stuff. First thing first, I watch "I Am Legend" before "The Omega Man". Let me tell you about how I see those differences and similarities.

Vampires and Zombies

 Vampires in The Omega Man have higher intelligent. Perhaps back in 70s the idea of zombies might not be that popular or back in those days there are lots of vampire movies.

Zombies based on my interpretation, they also afraid of daylights and they definitely are cannibal. However, they are not necessary high intelligent like "The Omega Man", they normally lost the scene of being a human. So in "I am Legend", They often act like berserk once they detected Humans.

However, I have to say "The Omega Man' has done a tremendous job down in 1970s. I cannot imagine such an innovative idea of such vampires or zombies apocalypse. Charlton Heston acted like a stand alone person fighting in the site and finding cure for those mutants. I would say it is more difficult for similar situation happens in 70s instead of 2000s.

My Favourite Scene

Despite the Meme's pictures, I do feel the death of Will's beloved Dog is the most touching moment. It makes me prefer I Am Legend than The Omega Man. Actually the dog is the only thing Will's daughter has left him. So perhaps in a stand alone area for nearly 3 years, Will and Samatha(The Dog) are like family.

 I Am Legend Steal the House!!!

Despite the Omega Man did a really great job even in 1970s. Since those zombies in I am Legend more precise to me. And the storyline is a bit better than The Omega Man. Therefore I would say I am Legend over the Omega Man.
