I am Legend

Similar to my last post, I am Legend is a post-apocalyptic film that was released in 2007. However, this movie did display zombie creatures. The main character in this movie is a virologist by the name of Robert Neville, played by Will Smith.  After a man-made virus was created to cure cancer, 90% of the human population was killed while the rest become predatory, vampiristic, preying on those immune to the virus. Neville’s wife and daughter were killed during the chaotic quarantine of Manhattan. By September 2012, Robert, immune to the virus, is now the only living person in New York City. He has been continually trying to find an antidote to the virus while also defending himself against the mutated humans and other creatures created by the virus. 

Robert now has a daily routine of experimenting on infected rats to find a cure for the virus and trips through to decay to hunt for deer. Every day he broadcasts a recording on his AM radio in search for any other survivors. Unfortunately, he has not had any luck and his only companions have been his German Sheppard and his mannequin patrons at the video store. 

After finally discovering a possible treatment, Robert decides to set up a trap and captures an infected woman. By doing this, he enraged one of the Darkseeker alpha males who attempts to rescue her but is driven inside by the sunlight. The next day, one of Roberts’s mannequins, Fred, is out in the street in from of Grand Central Terminal, while trying to retrieve him; he is caught in a snare trap and passes out. If you want to know what happens next, rent or purchase the movie!
