I’ve just watched the remake of viral classic The Omega Man (1971) that stared the late (Charlton Heston). In the new film I Am Legend staring Will Smith the last know survivor of deadly virus that has wiped out everything he ever knew on earth, now transformed into a mutated terrifying hungry night crawling creatures.
So it dawned on me, after watching the two versions of the film on region 2 DVD, how many other type of films I have as well as seeing a few over the years ether at the cinema or at home?
I’ve included a few other titles that share a common similarity with the theme.

The Omega Man (1971) seen on VHS PAL same as I Am Legend
The Andromeda Strain 1971 DVD region 2 got. A manmade virus falls back to earth via a satellite within a small town community, only two saviours a man and baby hold the key to finding a cure?
