The Last Man on Earth Ratings & Reviews
- flavo43December 5, 2025The Last Man on Earth (1964), starring Vincent Price, is perhaps the most faithful adaptation of Richard Matheson’s novel I Am Legend, thanks to Matheson’s involvement in the script. Its low-budget production and dated style may limit its impact compared to later versions, but the film remains haunting in its portrayal of isolation and despair. Price delivers a compelling performance as Dr. Robert Morgan, a man clinging to the remnants of the old world while unknowingly obstructing the rise of a new society—those infected who retain traces of humanity. The narrative devotes significant time to flashbacks of Morgan’s family, deepening the sense of loneliness and loss that defines his existence. While the pacing and atmosphere reflect its era, the film’s themes of survival, alienation, and the blurred line between monster and man resonate strongly. It’s a bleak yet thought-provoking exploration of humanity’s fragility.
- jasonfin2April 6, 2026Loved Vincent Price as always but the movie lacked budget and it showed. Did the best with what they had financially wise so watchable but could have been so much better
- AlanFebruary 9, 2026Vincent Price kicks Will Smiths ass… this the real original “I am Legend” written by Twilight Zone regular Richard Mathison. I love this
- Jay Ashley SparksNovember 24, 2025Very good performance from Vincent Price, a classic. Although most audiences will be more familiar with I am Legend, this is well worth a watch
- Megan CruzMay 16, 2025People are typically more familiar with the Omega Man or I am Legend but this is my personal favorite adaptation of the iconic novel that inspired these films. Vincent Price’s moody narration sets the perfect tone for this bleak and heartfelt tragedy. Are the creatures vampires or zombies? Does it really matter when there’s no one left to ask?
- MrPokeAugust 8, 2025Very close to the original story and a great performance by Vincent Price!
