I am Legend (2007) staring Will Smith: Cast away meets Night of the Living Dead.

Where to start...

About 3 years after a deadly, man-made virus kills most of the worlds population and turns the rest into light-weary zombies, one man tries to find a cure and not become a victim of the deadly monsters. The lone survivor, Dr. Robert Neville (Will Smith), lives in New York City, with his dog, in a heavily fortified house that guards him from the mutated creatures that rule the night, feeding on the uninfected.

Legend does a fantastic job of balancing the tension and the drama while not going overboard with disgusting special effects. Most, if not all, of the violence is just out of camera or beyond the scene cuts in a Hitchcock-like style.

Having seen the movie twice, it still had me thinking and reflecting on various aspects. While I don't usually go for high suspense and horror, this movie seemed to draw me in and keep me glued for the entire 1 hour and 40 minutes.
