From NetFlix:

A terrible virus has spread across the planet and turned the human
race into bloodthirsty monsters. Mankind’s only hope for survival
is scientist Robert Neville (Will Smith), the one person left
unaffected by the epidemic. When he’s not fighting for his life
against the hordes of the infected, Neville searches for a cure
to reverse the virus’s effects — all the while battling his own
doubt and despair as he spends every day alone.

In 1954 Richared Matheson wrote the book “I Am Legend”. It has been made into a film three times: “The Last Man on Earth”, “The Omega Man”, and “I Am Legend”. It explored the notion of vampirism as a disease.

OK, OK. Yes, it sounds like a high-school film. And yes, I was ready to chuck it after 10 minutes. You have to like apocalyptic science fiction to enjoy this. It starts out slowly. But wait … the tension really builds (what is that lurking just around the corner ?). Will Smith gives a terrific performance as a very very very lonely man (his dog Samantha means everything to him). Maybe it’s an anti-SciFi predjudice, but I have to give this film a B.
