Robert Neville, a doctor,due to an experimental vaccine, is the only survivor of an apocalyptic war waged with biological weapons. The plague caused by the war has killed everyone else except for a few hundred deformed, nocturnal people calling themselves "The Family". The plague has caused them to become sensitive to light, as well as homicidally psychotic. They believe science and technology to be the cause of the war and their punishment, and Neville, as the last symbol of science, the old world, and a "user of the wheel", must die. Neville, using electricty, machinery, and science attempts to hold them at bay.
Seems very similar to the concept behind "28 days later", except the zombies now can talk.
It's based on a book which was originally published in 1954, the first which tried to explain vampires in a pseudo-scientific way. If anything 28 days took inspiration from that book.
The book is excellent with a great twist of perspective towards the end. I have high hopes for the movie.

Actually its a remake of a 1964 Vincent Price film with the same name.
Dr. Robert Morgan (Vincent Price) is the only survivor of a devastating world-wide plague due to a mysterious immunity he acquired to the bacterium while working in Central America years ago. He is all alone now...or so it seems. As night falls, plague victims begin to leave their graves, part of a hellish undead army that''s thirsting for blood...his!
The book is by Richard Matheson. Matheson himself scripted a draft to be made into the movie titled 'the night creatures' but was deemed to graphic for audiences at the time. Omega Man was written by John Corrington based on Mathesons novel.
