From the legendary writer Richard Matheson (DVD)

Rating: 7/10 (5 July 2010)

I knew the story even before the release of this movie because it is originally a novel from Matheson, the same good writer of "The Skrinking Man" and "Duel". But I never read it and I always wondered how to explain the title:
How can the last man among vampires be a legend?
Now I understand!
The twist has been unveiled in a mesmerizing way:
I don't see lately a movie with such loneliness, grief. Will Smith is a surprise here because he tries a new suit for him: he leaves the smiles, the fun for the darkness and pain. The entire movie, he lifts alone a sad life and when everything falls apart, he fights every second. Smith is really good and he should do more drama!
The vision of an empty New York is surreal and as attracting as scary! Between "the Stand" and "War of the Worlds", the terror is never so high when it takes root in our daily life. "Dracula" is maybe frightening but as Pennsylvania is far away, it is also baroque. Not here. The reality is cold, uncompromising. Sometimes we wished to be all alone and this movie as the french "Seuls Two" brings an haunting visual and emotional experience.
In conclusion, a brilliant movie that hurts consequently the vampires!
