If you enjoyed the original story I Am Legend by Richard Matheson this is your movie! Matheson's story is a masterpiece of suspense and intellectual horror. The Charlton Heston movie version is terrible and barely resembles the story. This movie is great though. It is old! But, if you enjoy old movies and/or Vincent Price, this one is top notch!

This movie is not so much horror as it is sci-fi. Amazing movie with a great twist and ending. Grandfather of the zombies.

Classic film. Sticks very close to the book by Richard Matheson. However, I'm not sure if I would have enjoyed it as much as I did if I had not have read the book prior. The monsters (vampires) resemble the monsters from those days. - They act like a bunch of drunks lost in a neighborhood.

This is a great movie. People should watch this, Omega Man, and I am Legend, as they are all based off of the same book. Last Man on Earth is very funny, and best seen with commentary.

If you can handle black & white films, then check this one out. They call 'em vampires but they're more like zombies. Has a Twilight Zone feel to it.-Stone

In my opinion this Vincent Price variation on the "I Am Legend" story by Richard Matheson is a far superior film that holds more true to the author's original tale than the recent Will Smith version. The set design and special effects are more akin to a stageplay (those doors and windows aren't going to keep out a cat, let alone virus-infected zombie/vampires!) than a summer blockbuster -- but it was filmed in 1964 and can easily accepted by simple virtue of its age. This early version allows the story and characters to take center stage vs. being overwhelmed by over-produced CGI. Definitely worth a watch.
