"The Last Man on Earth sat alone in a room. There was a knock on the door."
+David Spring And the alternative:
"The last man on Earth sat alone in a room. there was a lock on the door."
+David Spring My favorite sequel to that is "It was the last woman on earth."
+Hyreia I believe 4th was something I´ve seen already "The last man on earth delivering pizza to last woman on earth."
Iateyoursister why would you want to buy used baby shoes?
+David Spring That's what makes it a /horror/ story I guess !
Anything with Vincent Price is good, man.
+NoNeckKota thief and the cobbler
NoNeckKota Nah, this film is so bad.
Even the 13 ghosts of Scooby Doo?
Strange the the only movie with the title I Am Legend is so different from the book it might as well be something else entirely.
If you mean that lousy Wil Smith movie with the tacky CGI monsters, then yes, it has nothing in common with the novella, and is more of a rip off of 28 Days Later.
Will Smith's really good movie was based on a graphic novel adaptation of I Am Legend.
Ridley Scott wanted to make I Am Legend with Arnold Schwarzenegger it would've been a classic.
An excellent book whose title was used to make a dumpsterfire of a movie.
I know
It's the closest adaptation to "I am Legend" compare to its two remakes with Charlton Heston (Omega Man) and Will Smith (2007 flick).
You know what's weird? Each movie based on Richard Matheson's book manages to perfectly adapt one important part of the book. "Last Man on Earth' perfectly adapts the story, "The Omega Man" perfectly adapts the main character, and "I am Legend" perfectly adapts the theme and idea of isolation (at least up until the ending.) It's weird that i'm just now realizing that.
This is really late but the ending of the Will Smith adaptation was changed because the test audiences didn't like the idea of Will Smith's character being the bad guy.
@@rokia360 3 years late but there is still the alternate ending where he realizes that what he did to the vampires (or Darkseekers as that adaptation calls them) was wrong, we the audience realize that they are not zombies, just people who have lost there humanity. They never wanted to be this way but they did. The fact that test audiences cause the ending to get replaced with a generic sacrifice ending is insulting. Test audiences for book adaptations should be fans of the book only.
"I am legend in 2011" opps, I am legend is 2007.
+Stijn Köster In 2011 I moved from Minnesota to Florida. For many many years I had a a I Am Legend poster in my room... So I knew James messed up... Or that I I'm going crazy.
+metallavery I remember watching I Am Legend in secondary school, and considering i started college in 2009 i knew that year wasn't right. Minor mistake on his part though. :)
+metallavery He probably has a release of the blu ray from 2011 or something.. looked on the back and saw that.
+Jackson Jack no he just fucked up
+IntoxicatedGhost1 Would that not be fucking up?
This is one of my favorite movies.
Probably in my top 10 for horror.
There's one scene that shows how dark some of these classic movies can get. It might not be able to show it like modern media, but it conveyed a grim tragedy that neither the Omega Man nor I Am Legend could.
My favorite aspect however is how the vampires (who're a bit like zomibies here) still retain a slight intelligence and memory.
So one of them, which is shown in the video, is Price's co-worker.
Keep in mind. It's been years since the devastation happened.
The co-worker is still "alive" and comes for Price every night. Calling him out by name outside of his shelter.
Every-night.
Every night he hears people he knew now threatening him. It's a persistent reminder of the past and terrible present. He can't escape the horror. He can't get true levity.
I've learned so many english phrases and vocabularies with your videos over the years, it's legit to say you've been one of my best english teachers, without even knowing it.
Thanks for that dude, keep it up!
Greetings from Austria :D
Thrilled to see this movie reviewed ! I have seen it around fifteen years ago, on TV in France. I don't remember watching it till the end, being a teenager and all that, but the scene where Price's friend is calling him out saying "Morgan ! Morgan !" made a lasting impression on me. I think about it regularly. Funny thing about the title, in french they actually called it "Je suis une légende", a litteral translation of the novel's title.
Yes, I like this movie very much.
+Ghost81 Never would've guessed.
Better than Night of the Living Dead, but far less known to the MTV Crowd
Are you gonna review The Omega Man? That's one of my all time favorite flicks. Heston is incredible in it.
Final surviving person on the planet(2016)
Just saw the teaser for it. Looks freakin' awesome!
Yessss--a Vincent Price movie! The part where he's trying to find the truck that has his daughter in it is heartbreaking--it really shows the acting range Vincent Price had.
Also, "Where Is Everybody?" is an incredible Twilight Zone episode.
For a Lone Survivor story, I'd go with "He who dies last" or "Last one alive, lock the door"
+Ponder von Lampgurgle does "The Quiet Earth" count as Lone Survivor story - sure they are mostly three, but then we have the ending.
Zombies should talk anyway, they can do everything else
+Torico You should read a manga called "I am a Hero", their zombie like that can talk and become a more disturbed version of their old selves.
+ZoddGuts I am a Hero is such an amazing manga.
Watch return of the living dead it's really good and has talking zombies
:D
+ajscrewu "send more...cops"
The Will Smith version of I am Legend is from 2007, not 2011.
+Rozmic no, it was good. just the ending sucked
+Idv22 There is an alternative ending to it.
+Rozmic
Well, I liked it.
+Rozmic I kinda prefer Omega Man but I Am Legend was good too.
+Dalton Swayze Do you wanna be a saikyouu heroooo!?!?!
Never ceases to amaze me how they managed to get the creepy vibe perfectly, even without the music I think it would still work well.
This is actually one of my favorite horror movies ever made. Surprised James didn't love this one. Seriously, everyone needs to see this movie, cuz it's so BA. Towards the end shit gets really heavy, the movie really makes you think about life, it has many psychological horror elements, the bad action sequences rock, and the ending is so great! Watch this fucking movie everyone. Everyone I have ever shown this movie to has enjoyed it.
Still one of the best adaptations of Richard Matheson's I Am Legend.
Vincent Price can make anything look good. Even eating cereal.
From how you put it, zombies were a lot more interesting before Romero made them popular.
They were, the 'undead' in this movie were semi intelligent, they could talk, and taunted the hero. But they did not have the power to reason, so they couldn't plan a way to get into his house or past his defenses.
Salnax Are you attempting to belittle Romero’s movies? Night, Dawn, and Day were fuckkng masterpieces. What came after Day of the Dead (1985) was trash
@@ZoSo1973 He's not belittling Romero's movies at all. Simply saying that the concept of zombies or undead were more unique and interesting until Romero made his masterpieces and the genre homogenized with copycats and originality was thrown out the window.
@@chadcastagana9181 Not true... the mirrors and garlic rendered them powerless. The people that killed him at the end were vampires.... so there goes your theory.
Oh man, I remember this movie. Back in the day (this being late 1960s) I was maybe 6, 7 years old when this came on the local Chiller Theater (11:30PM Fridays). I was with my brothers and sisters (my mom would usually fix a big plate of home fries...ah, that lardy goodness I can taste now) when we watched it.
When the scene came on where Robert's wife came to the door (at the end of your video), I FLEW out of the room and hid under my mom and dad's bed :). Boy that freaked me out!
Watching it in later years I really appreciate the story and the direction (and of course Vincent Price's acting; great, great actor). Also, I recall that Richard Matheson (the author of I Am Legend) wrote the screenplay for The Last Man on Earth, under a pseudonym.
I've been having a nightly visit to old horror movies myself for Hallowe'en (Last night was 1932's Vampyr). Maybe I'll watch this again soon.
I'm so glad you finally covered this movie for Monster Madness. It's my all time favorite public domain movie, even ahead of Night of the Living Dead. I thought Vincent Price was amazing and the shots and music made for a great mood.
Your profile picture is amazing lmao.
This is better than I am legend.
Watching this made me discover this great movie and the great fact that it was filmed in Rome, seeing the old Rome Universal Expo Square Colosseum and stairs at 3:20, an entire futuristic district that was built to host the Expo back in 1942, a vision that never came true due to WWII, a cool location indeed.
Vincent Price could make any movie a gem back in his day, he was simply one of those actors that couldnt be topped, Edward Scissorhands makes me sad to this very day, as during that the shooting of that movie, a gifted man died doing what he loved and we all watched him do it...
If that's not confusing enough, Mark Shelley, author of Frankenstein, actually wrote a second novel, titled "The Last Man", about the lone survivor of a plague. It wasn't very popular, so it was pretty much forgotten about until it was reprinted in the '60's.
James, this would've been an appropriate review for 2020.
This movie is SO MUCH better than the Will Smith version, in this movie we can really understand why he is a legend and why he is the last man on earth. Great movie.
You guys already mentioned sometime back Last Man on Earth, and I must say it became one of my favourites, Vincent Price carries the movie and I don't know why but they managed to give back the feeling of being alone, being the last one, clinging on to hope, finding peace and doing your best against all odds.
If it wasnt for cinemassacre and you guys I would have missed a lot of these great movies!
Love the movie I still will watch it any time
Watching him trying to find his taken daughter, then losing his wife... that really tore me up.
George also went with the Book I AM LEGEND for NIGHT ON THE LIVING DEAD.
I always look forward to these every year. Thanks for doing these, James and crew!
This is honestly my favorite movie of all time.
This one didn't have the claustrophobic atmosphere that "Night of the living dead" had. But still a worthy mention.
Imo, Voodoo Zombies are the scariest, cause there are no rules.
In "Things to Come" (1936), based on the H.G. Wells novel, impoverished people called Walkers -- affected by a combination of war gas and psychic shock -- shamble aimlessly about the planet in rags, killing any "normal" they encounter. They are mute, unresponsive, and immune both to hunger and physical hardship while so doing, and thus resemble zombies.
I can't believe James is reviewing the same movie I reviewed 3 years ago, awesome
+Cinemassacre thank you, I have been requesting that you review this movie for quiet some time and the fact that you actually did it just made my day, now if only you could review "House of usher" in your next horror review
I think Night Of The Living Dead apparently got some of its inspiration from I Am Legend.
I also heard that this is apparently the only film adaptation of I Am Legend where the infected are vampires like in the book.
This is an awesome movie. Vincent Price single-handedly kept me glued to the screen. It's landmark old-school horror movie.
one of my favorite movies of all time. Im also a HUGE THE THING ( 1982) freak. A very good assessment here.
I was wondering when Omega Man/I Am Legend would crop up! Never saw this film before but it's hard to miss the similarity!
Last Man on Earth is based on The Omega Man, which paved the way for I am Legend.
" The last woman on Earth" would have been a good double bill. Betsy Jones- Moreland (Title charactor) was a knockout, although Anne Kimball ( Monster from the ocean floor) was a stunner also.
I remember seeing a movie called last man on earth I think, it was something about everyone was a female and they grew a male in a laboratory though
+Boredness I think that was called 'Last Man on Planet Earth,' and I saw it too.
How old was this film? It sounds like an adaptation of Y: The Last Man, where only one man survives an apocalypse that kills off the Y chromosome. So he's targeted incessantly by gangs who want to use him as political leverage.
"Final Surviving Person on the Planet" coming soon to a theater near you!
Loved this movie! Vincent price was a unique actor there will never be one like him. With his charm, voice and talent
Richard Matheson also wrote most of the script for this movie, under the pseudonym of "Logan Swanson". He chose this name since be was dissatisfied with the end result.
It would be interesting for a film to explore the science of zombie and how it all began than to just happen in a film if not done already.
Great diligence on the research for this video, James.
The reason it was called The Last Man On Earth, was the studio didn't get the rights to the book. Also it was the closest adaptation to the novel than any other movie. Especially the Will Smith movie where the only connection to the novel is the title.
I remember watching this on TV one night at 3am. I got stuck watching it, it's really good!
Never stop reviewing these movies! I look forward to them every time
Hey! That gas mask in "Where is everybody" is a Czech M10M gasmask, I have one of those ^_^
This is Vincent Price's best film and one of the best horror films from the 1960s.
I'll watch anything that has Vincent Price in it! I honor the man!
The story of the original book is great. The twist which explains the title is brilliant.
angelowl89 it was brilliant, super creative, and was far ahead of its time - the plot twist at the end was a rising kick out of nowhere : how the tables can be turned against us, where we could go down as the "monster" we thought we righteously hunted ourselves: loved it
The start of the book makes no hints or indications as to the wrongness of the actions the main character took (not like he could in his capacity tell). We actually are made drawn to like and pity him as we follow his isolation through some very long and tiring years - zombies or "vampires" lurking in the background. The neat thing about this "virus" that came affecting these once-humans is that it wasn't, it was "bacteria". The twist happens as we discover that the bacteria had evolved to such a point that these "vampires" who had it were then able to socialize with each other and think and talk like normal humans do (bacteria being able to evolve). It is made a light at the end of the book how these vampires fear our main character like as if he were a a monster killing their kind, their "husbands" and loved ones as he had. As a new society beckoned, he was at the closing end of the old. The only thing left to stand in the way of the new majority (him now being in the minority, somehow now in the wrong as the majority who could now think dictates // the book having things to say about minority prejudice). You should read it, it isn't that long tbh :)
Quagmire says, Last man on earth and all the zombie women to myself, Giggity Giggity!
I really love the Omega man and I am Legend, but I never heard of The last man on earth with Vincent Price. I gotta check it out now! Great review James !
A Singaporean movie from 1958 called "Pendekar Bujang Lapok" has shambling, graveyard dwelling ghouls that crave for human flesh. Sure, it was a silly comedy but the scene where the leader of the ghouls ordered his fellow ghouls capture the three protagonists ("Catch them and tie them up! Then gut them and fry them like kebab!) actually freaked me out as a kid.
Love this movie. Creepy as hell when his wife comes back, whispering at the door. Its interesting to see so many modern horror and sci fi movies now that were so heavily influenced by these old classics. Ridley Scott's Alien always makes me think of the 1958 movie, It ! The Terror From Beyond Space. Its basically impossible to avoid clichés when making a modern movie.
There was a movie made in 2007 called, I Am Omega.
Vincent Price man!!!! So amazing!!!!
These are amazing and I can never get enough of seeing the roots of movie making. Cinemassacre has been keeping me entertained since 09 :)))
I love this film. I used to have it on a double feature Laserdisc. :)
You forgot the strain Del Toro's take on the genre like in I am Legend both films and TV series trope was that the disease was caused by a virus. and those infected would turn on people for food.
I watched this movie on TH-cam a long time ago and I wasn't sure how to feel. I was only 7 or 8-years old so I was still figuring out emotions. But I did know that I was confused yet interested to see what would happen next
Oh man I made that connection to the Twilight zone before you mentioned it, that's awesome
Don't forget the new upcoming series "Y, the Last Man on Earth", based on the comic with the same man.
my cousin was the Vincent price, distant cousin but a cousin none the less
I am Legend is one of my favorite stories and has my favorite ending to a story that I have ever read. No movie or other form of adaptation will ever do be able to create the feel of the story, in my opinion.
I always preferred this version over the other adaptations.
The Omega Man, starring Mega Man. That's it, the Zombies are fucked!
There is a 1999 Last man on earth as well, it´s not too bad if you´re into bad movies, it can be found in full length here on youtube.
I think you should really look into making a cinemassacre app, you have so much content that would actually fill up the app with many things
I agree it's not amazing but it's worth watching I love just about anything with Vincent Price so I'm glad you gave him props without over hyping the movie.
I love this film.
A nightmarish gloomy vibe.
Long time AVGN fan, just wanted to say that I love this movie, and thank you for reviewing it.
I'd just recommend people read I Am Legends instead, was way better than any of the film adaptations!
Exactly, but Last Man on Earth is the best. It offers horror and comentary without gore, exploitation, or the leftwing vitriol of Romero.
Chad Castagana Would you prefer right wing vitriol?
How about no political vitriol for once. I get enough of it from Stephen King, and for once, let the horror be fun instead of a drag.
I love this movie. I think it's Vincent Price's best performance.
every year I look forward to monster madness and every year I'm given movies to check out! I wanted to mention that this version of "I am legend" is far more faithful to the story than the will Smith version. really good!
I love how you review movies, or anything else for that matter. You're very honest and fair.
(Possible alternate title)
(shrug) "Soul Survivor" (yes, that pun's intended...)
This is really well produced, and extremely interesting. Thanks a lot for this!
You should do Omega Man with Charlton Heston, I think the vampire theme is more interesting in that film.
this is one of my favorites, but then again i love anything with vincent price in it
James, could you please pay attention to the correct aspect ratio? As a movie fan, you should care about correctly shaped pictures and not let them be squeezed or squashed.
This reminds of the Halloween Special of The Simpsons when Homer thought he was the last person in Springfield or earth.
I caught this movie on TCM not too long ago, and greatly enjoyed it. In fact, I think I liked it more than I AM LEGEND.
there is also a version with mark Damascus i think it might even be called the omega man as well
Vincent Price is always awesome. It is interesting, that "Last Man on Earth" makes vampires more of a zombies. Nowadays zombies are more like vampires, like in "iZombie" series (not a bad DC comic adaptation, by the way).
I remember seeing this movie when I was 8 and thought it was amazing and also quite sad.
I watched some of this movie on tv before going to work earlier this month, it's really good!
I'm writing a version set in the last decade called The Last Man On Myspace.
Definitely 28 Days Later was inspired by Last Man on Earth with the beginning showing London completely devoid of life. I wonder though if other classics, such as 30 Days of Night, and the graphic novel Y: The Last Man took inspiration from it....
“Man Who Is The Last On Earth”. Got it.
Another great horror classic worth checking out.
just looking at the title, I immediately jumped to the twilight zone episode.
