Last Man on Earth, The (1964)


Mediocre low-budget horror film based on Matheson's I Am Legend. The plague causes the humans to turn into creatures that have many properties of vampires, the physical ability of zombies, and mental prowess slightly above that of typical zombies (they can talk). Interesting premise but the quality of the film is generally marred by the lack of budget and poor dubbing. None of the characters seem to do anything with much conviction. Even when they are hammering stakes or swinging clubs they look like limp noodles. Skip it unless you're a die-hard Vincent Price fan.

4/10
