Question
Popcorn Guy, I have been trying to track down the name of a movie that I swear I had seen as a youngster. I thought that it starred Roger Moore and had to do with zombies. The plot was that of the end of the world and he had a place with a generator which he entered with the use of an elevator. There was also a black lady that he falls for and she is later bitten or something. Also, there is something to do with gettin gas for the generator, and of course that all goes wrong. Am I crazy, or is this film real?


                      Thank you,


                             -Jay

Answer
Hi, Jay...

Pretty sure the film you are looking for is The Omega Man, starring Charlton Heston... and the zombies were more like vampires than anything... he was the only non-vampire left on earth, and was trying to isolate a cure for the disease that had turned everyone...

It's real... you just had the wrong actor...

Hope this helps,

I am a devout fan of horror films, from the Universal classics to the schlock of the 50`s, on through the 70`s to the splatter era, and straight up to "28 Days Later." Tom Savini films are an extra treat. Ask me about "Knightriders" if you don`t believe me. Anyone else own a copy of that classic?
