Our first Vincent Price movie was quite something to behold! Though maybe not the best all around, “The Last Man on Earth” was a thrill nonetheless, providing plenty to dismember. Based on the acclaimed novel “I Am Legend,” which of course has spawned more than one film adaptation, this first take nailed the eerie, post-apocalyptic thing, feeling reminiscent of “The Twilight Zone.” All in all, the guys enjoyed this one enough for a solid double “stream;” fine and fun for a casual, weekend afternoon watch.
