This film is a bit muddled philosophically: there are some half-hearted attempts to "question" Heston's morality, like a scene where a kid says "Sometimes you scare me more than The Family", yet he's clearly the one to root for, the only hope of humanity, and at the end he's set up as a Christ figure. But it's still a fine piece of moviemaking, and a definite improvement on the pale 1964 version of the same story ("The Last Man On Earth"). This remake, of sorts, has a lot more impact, and the "vampires" (or whatever you wanna call them) are a more existing and constant threat (and far more intelligent, too). However, this is not the altogether great movie that could, conceivably, be made from this story. (**1/2)
