the last man on earth one of my favourite movies and has a very sad theme. the film is self- explanatory but there are parts where even I get sad and feel for the main character. the film is about dr.Robert Morgan who is trying to survive in a world that has been overrun by vampires. Morgan is a very likable characters and the film gets you to feel and has sympathy for him. he is played by Vincent Price who is very convincing alone in this film but there is his background of him once being happy and then having everything he loves taken away from him. in the movie I am surprised he didn't just stick a gun outside the window and shoot the $h!t out of the one vampire that always calls his name and taunts him. but int he end it is a good and in a way touching the story of survival, insanity, and in the end loneliness.

*Spoiler/plot- Last Man on Earth, 1964. The whole world is infected with a pathogen that makes people first blind and then progresses to full blown zombie-like symptoms. Hating the smell of garlic & reflections in mirrors and they only travel during the nigh time hours looking for the living to kill.*Special Stars- Vincent Price, Franca Bettoia, Giacomo Rossi Stuart, *Theme- The scientific method can cause and cure outbreaks of zombie disease.*Trivia/location/goofs- Italian production. Remade many times: "Omega Man" (71) with Charlton Heston and "I Am Legend' (07) with Will Smith, George Romero's "Night of the living dead". Supposedly takes place in US in 1968. Mr Price insisted in using real people to play the morning dead zombies to be put in his 'hearse', while at the dump site they're prop artificial bodies.*Emotion- The first and best produced feature films of this film genre. Due to the film being so old, it is not troubled with today's need to use digital gimmick's to ruin the the empathetic dark plot. The genre has been remade many many times with differing results from the audience ticket sales. I enjoyed the Charlton Heston version, "Omega Man" from the 70's. Mr. Price is solid as the lead role performer of the role of sad widower and father of a stricken child.*Based on- Vampire and zombie legends.

The hardest was to rate this movie. I thought 6 was too low and 7 seemed too high but given all the good points it has I think it is justified even if I don't think I will watch this movie anytime soon. So it is an apocalyptic movie with Vincent Price as protagonist, a scientist in a world full of infected people. When the infected people die they eventually come back as living dead. They are called vampires but resemble zombies more (because they are slow, weak and pretty dumb) and it looks Romero might have gotten his inspiration from this movie to make his Night of the Living Dead. But a lot of the vampire features are there: the vampires can't stand daylight, are allergic to garlic, have no reflection and can be killed by driving a stake through their heart. The whole story is told in a narrative way since Price's character has no one to talk to most of the movie. By means of flashbacks we get to know how he and the whole planet (well that's my guess) has gotten into this situation. I'm aware that I am Legend is some kind of remake or more recent adaptation from this story but where I thought I am Legend was rather stupid this "original" was much more effective to me. Tragic ending which might have been fitting after all.

Undeniably Influential, This Apocalyptic/Vampire/Zombie Original was the First, and Best, Adaptation of Richard Matheson's "I am Legend". It Stars Horror Icon Vincent Price with a Non-American Cast and is Highlighted by Some Stunning Cinematography and Atmospheric Dread.The Reason for its "Cult Movie" Status is Clear. There Just wasn't Anything Like it In its Time, and for 1964 was Unusually Bleak, Relentlessly Downbeat, and Scary for the Youth Audience it Targeted. Anyone Seeing it in '64 or on Late Night TV in the Sixties Could Not Forget It. But it was Forgotten by Some and has been Resurrected by Film Buffs as a Bonafide B-Movie Classic. It's Not the Smoothest Movie Ever Made and has some Pacing Problems but No Problem Delivering a Sombre Message Movie that is Impressive.The Story has been Remade Twice and Neither the Silly, Stupid "The Omega Man" (1971) or the Will Smith (2007) Version are as Good, Objectively. Beware Public Domain Prints that are Murky and Plain Awful and Do Not Present the Original Widescreen Ratio that is a Must See for Complete Appreciation.
