The Omega Man

So.
As progressive as I found Blacula, when I watched The Omega Man, I had just the opposite reaction.
Charlton Heston plays Robert Neville, a military scientist who's the last person left alive after a bio-weapon virus outbreak in Los Angeles, except for The Family, evil albino hippie mutant cultists.
Because Neville is an alpha male blonde white man, The Family is out to kill him. Because they're albino mutants, they only come out at night; since they're evil albino hippie mutant cultists, it's Neville's God given duty to kill them all.
It does turn out there's a group of people, mostly children, still left, infected but not mutated, lead by Lisa, a African-American woman, and Dutch, a hippie. Neville soon takes the alpha male lead because well, Lisa's an African American woman and Dutch's a hippie.
Thank God for Robert Neville! they must have thought.
Especially Lisa, since her younger brother is starting to mutate. Neville thinks he can cure him. While waiting for the brother to get better, Neville and Lisa begin a relationship.
It doesn't last; Neville cures the brother but Lisa's mutation kicks in. Since Dutch was pre-med
before the outbreak, Neville explains the cure to him; the Family manage to kill Neville but he gets Lisa away from them for Dutch to cure her. Then Neville dies, sprawled out like Jesus in the Pieta.

Honestly, I've seen other versions of this story- adapted from Richard Matheson's I Am Legend, and this one was the worst of the the three (I haven't seen I Am Omega, because it was a direct to dvd mockbuster from the people who made Snakes on a Train). They weren't even really vampires in this version, just evil albino hippie mutant cultists. And the subtle-as-a-hammer anti-hippie subtext is somewhat understandable, especially in LA, less than two years after Manson's Tate-LaBianca murders.
But in retrospect, the whole thing comes off as obnoxious.
