The Last Man On Earth
I'm sure most of you, since you're on a horror board, know this classic Vincent Price movie. For those who don't, it's based on the most excellant book "I Am Legend" by the wonderful Richard Matheson. A tale of lonliness, heartbreak, inner demons, and, get this, vampires. The novel, written in 1954, is a commentary on the "We're going to end up destroying the world" idea that was prevelant in the US circa the 50's. Matheson has stated the movie did stray a bit from his novel, but it's way closer to home than the piece of shit called "Omega Man". 'Last Man on Earth" is now available on DVD in widescreen as a double feature with "House on Haunted Hill". Now how can you miss with that?
