Review of The Omega Man (1971) by Dan M — 19 Jan 2008
A product of the 1970's, stuck firmly in it's time. The Omega Man is a film stricken by the style of it's decade and the aura of second class filmmaking. Had it not been for Heston, the B-Grade feel could have easily fallen several characters lower in the alphabet.
According to Sagal's interpretation of the Matheson novel, a global mutagen would turn the worlds population into an albino cult that feels the need to sew black robes in the fashion of segregating themselves from humanity's past. No thanks to a stream of plot holes, shivering dialogue, and characters that make the German Shepard in the latest update seem like an incredible performance, The Omega Man fails.
