0 #1 Mitur Binesderti 2010-01-22 05:02 A much better movie than "The Omega Man" which I was surprised by. I assumed Vincent Price would be overacting in that cheesy 50's/60's horror way that he always did.

This movie is pleasantly surprising.

0 #2 Panzerjager 2012-02-03 17:10 The Last Man on Earth is the first of three movies based on the same short novel, "I am Legend"

The Last Man on Earth - 1964
The Omega Man - 1971
I am Legend - 2007

This film with Vincent Price most closely follows Richard Matheson's 1954 novel.

I like this film. There are a few quirks with the filming being done in Italy. The military gear, cars etc are a little unusual. However, to the film credit the location is rather generic.

This is a fun film and is readily available.

Enjoy
