Okay, so the other day I was trying to find some movies similar to “I Am Legend”. I really dig that post-apocalyptic vibe, you know? So, I started by, well, just thinking.
I remembered some movies I’d seen before that had a similar feel. Stuff like “The Road”, that one’s super bleak, and “A Quiet Place”, which is more about the monsters, but still has that ‘last people on earth’ thing going on.
Brainstorm Time
- “The Road”- yep, super depressing, very end-of-the-world.
- “A Quiet Place”- monsters, silence, very tense.
- 28 Days Later- not a lone survivor, but still full of desolation.
Then I jumped onto Google. Just typed in “movies like I Am Legend”. Seriously, that’s all it takes sometimes.
I found some interesting lists, some of them pretty obvious, others less so. There were the usual suspects like “World War Z”, which is okay, a bit too much zombie action for my taste sometimes, but it fits.
More Choices
- World War Z.
I also discovered some titles I hadn’t heard of before, like “The Book of Eli”. I watched the trailer, it’s got that lone wanderer thing, a bit of action, seems pretty cool. It’s got Denzel Washington and the story looks decent.
The suprise
- The Book of Eli.
Then I scrolled through some forums, Reddit and such. Always good to see what other people are saying, you know? You get some real hidden gems that way, I always do this.
I found a few mentions of “Stake Land”. Never heard of it, but people were saying it’s a good post-apocalyptic vampire movie. Sounds intriguing!
Hidden Gems
- Stake Land.
So, I ended up with a pretty solid list of movies to check out. A mix of stuff I knew and some new discoveries. It will take a few days to finish the movies, but I think it was a pretty successful movie search!
