The Last Man on Earth
Blu ray
Kino Lorber
1964
Starring Vincent Price
Cinematography by Franco Delli Colli
Directed by Sidney Salkow, Ubaldo Ragona
The Last Man on Earth is the very definition of a one-man show—Vincent Price stars as a lonesome medico who isn’t lacking for company—it’s just the wrong kind: each night he’s visited by zombie bloodsuckers on the prowl for a midnight snack, victims of a plague that has decimated the planet. An American/Italian co-production directed by Sidney Salkow and Ubaldo Ragona, the 1964 film was based on Richard Matheson’s I Am Legend about the desolate existence of scientist Robert Morgan who, when he’s not engrossed in teary-eyed conversations with the mirror or howling into the void, is working to find a cure for the mysterious virus that’s killed every one of his family and friends.

Note: This is the second article in this series of posts. Click here to see the first entry.
Every year I spend the majority of the month of October watching as many horror movies as I possibly can. So I decided to take it upon myself to list off the greatest horror movies ever made. I felt the need to break up the list into several categories. You see, usually when people ask me for recommendations of what horror films they should see, they still have some idea of what sub genre they are interested in watching. So as appose to having one big jumbled list, I’ve broken it down to help with those looking for recommendations in a specific area. Please Note: by the end of the month, the last entry in this series will include a list of what I think are without a doubt, the 31 greatest horror movies ever made.

We take a look back at The Last Man On Earth, the first and most faithful adaptation of Richard Matheson’s classic novel, I Am Legend…
When adapted for the big screen, even the finest novels can suffer decidedly mixed fortunes. Richard Matheson's classic 1954 book, I Am Legend, has been made into a movie no fewer than three times, most recently as a big-budget picture of the same name with Will Smith in the lead, but also in 1971 as The Omega Man, and both of these adaptations took considerable liberties with the novel that inspired them.
The best and most faithful adaptation, though, was undoubtedly the first. Filmed in Italy as L'ultimo Uomo Della Terra and starring Vincent Price, The Last Man On Earth was directed by Ubaldo Ragona and Sidney Salkow from a script initially adapted by Matheson himself.
Finished in 1961, but not released in the Us until...
