The Last Man on Earth (1964) Review:
The Last Man on Earth is best explained to modern viewers as the movie that inspired I Am Legend. Actually, both movies are inspired from the 1954 novel I Am Legend (as is the movie The Omega Man, 1971) and, in many points, these movies are extremely similar.
Those having seen I Am Legend before (in these dark days, I assume these will be the majority) will find the story familiar – but there is one thing that makes these two movies completely different… the ending. I Am Legend decided to change the ending whereas The Last Man On Earth sticks to the novel in what is a much more clever and meaningful ending.
With its science-fiction setup, The Last Man on Earth is captivating from start to end. The feeling of loneliness is complete and Vincent Price is without reproach here (even though I don’t think it is its best acting performance).
In conclusion, the movie might not have the special effects of its modern counterpart but it largely compensates by a featuring a much better story. A masterpiece!
