The Omega Man (1971)
3.5 helpings of soylent green
This 1971 film is very dated (big afros, 8-track tapes) but entertaining. This is based on Richard Matheson's classic story I Am Legend but the plot is very different from the book and different from the recent Will Smith remake. Heston is awesome as his usual overacting self as he leads a small band of human survivors against the infected horde.
The Omen (1976)
4 scary birthday parties
For a movie filmed in 1976 I think it holds up exceptionally well. Nice acting, great music, scary moments...The Omen is a classic in the supernatural horror genre. The plot revolves around parents slowly discovering that their young son may be destined for a life of evil. I wonder how many people decided not to have kids after seeing this...

finally got around to watching Pontypool today, I really enjoyed it. Its the first horror film in quite some time that actually gave me chills. Its very suspensdeful, but i agree 100% about how the explained the "virus". They got something different, but it doesn't really work.

It is unfortunate that they went with that explanation but I really did enjoy the movie.

After watching Pontypool again recently, I have adjusted my rating from 3.5 tasty brains to 4. Despite the one noted shortcoming, it is a really well done film!
