Then the movie shouldn't be using the books Title, Main Character, critical story elements, etc.

There are hundreds of movies that have a quick byline in the credits, "Adapted from Blahblahblah by Writey McAuthorson". Those movies are judged against themselves, not the books they were derived from, and they do just fine.

That being said my distaste for what they have done to Matheson's story will likely outweigh my love of big screen horror/vamp flicks. I'll see it, but I'll be damned if I contribute full movie ticket price to the venture.
