Fun fact some (many?) don't know
The movie "I Am Legend" is loosely based on a novel (and subsequent other film adaptations back in the day) of the same title.
The "twist" in the book is that the doctor (Will Smith in the most recent movie) who survived in the books goes around slaying what he sees as monsters. These vampire-like creatures who used to be his friends and are still sentient (in the book). They gather outside his protected home at night and call out his name because they remember him. They aren't mindless like in the recent movie.
Anyway, the title of the book is referring to him. He's a legend among the vampire people because he's a mass murderer of them. They all hate him. And eventually capture him and (I think, been like 15 years since I read it) execute him. You don't learn this until the last like couple chapters. The entire story until then is from his perspective of these inhuman monsters that he tortures and kills in an effort to cure the disease that turned everyone.
The twist seems kinda cliche now as I type it out, but that book is pretty old... it blew my mind when I read it anyway. Some of the details might be off, but I like concepts like this
IIRC it established two separate levels of the disease that's basically the same as the later ghoul/feral ghoul divide in Fallout. So there were vampire zombies that hunted people - including each other - and ones that had managed to stabilize the condition with medical treatment. He hunted them indiscriminately, and it was the latter group that managed to take him out with an organized military strike on his fortified compound.
