Am I the only one who thinks this is one of the best Vincent Price movies ever? or possible best horror movie.

I've always preferred VP in 'The Pit and the Pendulum' but I do really like 'Last Man on Earth' too.

I didn't really enjoy this one that much - i mean it still had vinny in which is always a bonus and it was quite dark, but i love a nice fat pile of 'Theatre of Blood' and 'House on Haunted Hill' topped up with a touch of 'phibes.

I liked Last Man on earth enough to buy it, but I don't know if I'd call it his best film, and I definately DO know that I wouldn't call it the best horror movie, but that's just my opinion.

i saw this movie about a year ago...i thought I had seen all of Vincent Prices' films...but this one was so different...I came to think that that it is his best as close as he could have come to playing himself. He was the best...well, one of the best. I think 1. BORIS KARLOF 2. VINCENT PRICE 3 BELA LUGOSI 4. PETER CUSHING 5. CHRISTOPHER LEE

I like the part in the narration when Price says, "They want my BLOOD..." with that extra-clever Vincent Price relish, almost as if he's enjoying thinking about his vampire enemies, in a sick way...!

Hey, I haven't seen last man on Earth yet. Looks like that's another DVD to add to my ever expanding wanted list!
I was lucky enough to find this movie packaged with two other Vincent Price movies on one disc for $6 at Walgreens
I like this flick. Not the best ever, but definately one to be watched and remembered

Y'wanna hear something really whacko? A couple of years ago I found it at the 99Cents Store, one of those cheap DVDs in the cardboard sleeve. So I bought it and it was WIDESCREEN, not the greatest compression but it was 2.35:1 (!)
I heart the 99 Cents Store

Ha! You fucked up your very first post! You misspelled your own name! Bwahahaha!
Anyway, I just bought a DVD today for $5 that has this along with three other classic horror films. Looking forward to watching it.

I can't go past 99 cent or dollar stores without checking the DVD's. I wish the companies that put these movies out would start signing the little indies. It would be a lot easier to sit through a $3K movie shot in a backyard if it only cost me $1 instead of $15 or $4 to rent.

If you liked the movie "Last Man on Earth" I would read the story it's based on called "I am Legend" by Richard Matheson. The novel gives you a better understanding of his isolation. The movie is pretty faithful to the book (more so then Heston's "Omega Man") except for the end.

LME is one of my faves of Price. I have a sentimental love for The Abominable Dr. Phibes and Tales of Terror as well. Theatre of Blood is classic.

I wish I could find copies of the introductions from the old Mystery! anthology series. He was great on those. I have the LME and HoHH double DVD, what a great use of a dollar!
