That was an excellent one.

Far from Perfect, Far from Terrible

n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.

I can't believe the rave reviews this movie has on it. It has not even one redeeming quality.

The often filmed tale of doomsday, of one man's efforts to avoid the undead, occurs after man destroys themselves, leaving only Vincent Price as human, hiding from cannibalistic mutants. Yes, the same role played by Charlton Heston and Will Smith, played by one of the true kings of horror. He's hoping to find others who survived cataclysmic destruction involving the most diabolical plague in history. It's eerie and lonely, tragic because how often do we wish to be alone, yet fear it. But loneliness isn't his only woe, and each day and evening bring on the same concerns. Blocking his house from being invaded, reopening it upon the beginning of sunlight, then getting rid of the corpses of murdered mutants, too weak to fight off other fellow mutants, not caring whose blood they end up with.A dead city, regardless of its location, is hell on earth, and Price must travel it every day to stay ahead on supplies and prevent the dead from creating disease. This is a science fiction movie that will make you think, possibly depress you, and even make you grateful for civilization. Price narrates mostly, as if talking to ones self in an empty city was surely the key to insanity. Price travels the city as a modern day Van Helsing, killing off the living dead. This looks pretty low budget, but it seems far too gruesome to have been a TV film and too far from the mainstream to have been anything but nearly a grindhouse, or maybe even art-house being so avant garde.When the walking dead do appear, it's as if every evil creature on earth smells Price's fresh blood, obviously a treat over human plasma. The fact that the attackers in life were people he knew is a frightening twist. Price is fascinating to watch, expressing his despondence silently, turning to spiritual guidance, then being caught in the dark amongst these creatures, easy to fight off when it's one or two but virtually impossible when it's an army of them. This isn't something I could find myself watching over and over, regardless of the version, and each one has its strengths and weaknesses. There's a bit of sentiment as Price flashes back to the "living" fays of civilization, and it makes me realize that as much as I like to chill back alone with my old movies and TV shows (like he does here with brief laughter turning into tears), I could not entirely be without humanity, especially for the three years he recalls being in this position.

This is it. The Best. It has it all. Atmosphere, cinematography, acting (Vincent Price), the dubbing is a bit off but who cares.I've seen the move 4x now. I've seen the joke that is Omega Man, and I Am Will Smith CG Crap Garbage. I've read the book, and I've read all the reviews. This is the move to see. It may have some issues with the dubbing, and it is not exactly like the book, but it delivers.Vincent Price and his loneliness and madness, finally to find a dog and the little guy dies.This is not a happy movie. But if you want something to think about, here it is. Find it watch it. It is a piece of art.

Seasoned and well polished actor Vincent Price shows his range of emotions through this living nightmare of a movie. A strain of disease has spread throughout the world turning the masses into vampire like creatures who only come out when the sun sets. For some strange reason Dr Robert Morgan (Vincent Price) is the only survivor at the moment as he hunkers down nightly in his home filled with exposed wires playing jazz records and even watching home movie on his projector. Meanwhile outside his front door are the downtrodden Vampires with clubs banging and yelling his name to come out. During his days he gets on his HAM radio calling out "KOKW calling. Is anybody out there?" as the sound of static fills the air.The look of dismay on our Doctor's face as he faces another day alone among the living dead. Then off to his garage as he pours petrol into his generator to power up his workshop and makes wooden stakes from his lathe. Then off to the supermarket for fresh pungent garlic to keep away the nocturnal intruders.Then he checks his map for the hiding areas where our vampires for the most part are sleeping. Then our good Doctor pulls out one of the wooden stakes and with mallet in hand drives it hard through their hearts.With each hit Dr. Morgan keeps score of each strike.Unfortunately its like removing grains of sand from a an endless beach. There are so many yet to destroy. Then he carries a few bodies to his station wagon and drives to a flaming pit. Dumps the bodies into the hole for cremation. Then it's back home to prepare for the evening's festivities as the vampire neighbors commence their onslaught. This has been going on for three years as Dr. Morgan labels his makeshift calendar as he slashes the days gone by. Price narrates the beginning scenes as the Lone Doctor tries to make sense of the demise of the Human race. Morgan gets philosophical with deep thoughts, " I can't afford the luxury of anger. Anger can make me vulnerable. It can destroy my reason and reason's the only advantage I have over them." Wednesday night is movie night in the Morgan dwelling as our Doctor sits alone and watches on his projector. As the movie unfolds Morgan flashes back to a normal time before the strain hits of Birthday parties and family. The films bring instant joy and satisfaction as he starts to laugh and then as the reel ends the laughing turns to sobbing as we hear the bangs and yelling from the outside. The movie goes through the sequences of the disease as Morgan's who is employed as a chemist works diligently and feverishly for a cure with no results.His town or city which is not mentioned has the virous including his daughter Kathy who is stricken as we see the poor child dis oriented, sickly and blind calling out for her Mommy and Daddy. Speaking about Mommy,Virg, (Emma Danieli) she is also afflicted and it's a matter of time before she screams and shouts,"I CAN'T SEE!" the final stage before the transformation. This horrible situation is bestowed upon our Doctor who tries to bury his spouse naturally only to have her come back to the front door covered in dirt looking at Morgan if he was a juicy piece of meat. That explains the flaming pit. It's Dr. Morgan against this Topsy turvy world of nocturnal carnivores. Is there anyone out there besides these creatures? This story was written by William Leicester and the screenplay was written by Richard Matheson who's name is associated with horror shows on Television. Twilight Zone, Outer limits and Thriller. Matheson has also written the novel for the color follow-up movie The Omega Man. The Last Man On Earth started the ball rolling for Zombie apocalypse genre which a few years later with the sleeper, low-budget classic by George Romero Night Of the Living Dead. Nothing like the original and remember to lock your doors when viewing this epic picture.
