The Last Man on Earth (1964)

This old-fashioned precursor with Vincent Price does not fascinate me. I thought I Am Legend with Will Smith was bad, give me The Omega Man which is the best performance of the three. This film starts off nicely in a desolate landscape and with a convincing role from Price. Although I have seen him play better, but that may also have to do with the development of the plot. When he meets a woman somewhere in the middle of the film, the film completely collapses. The twists that follow are strange and actually somewhat blandly developed. 5/10

Nice end to the weekend. I'm Legend from the 60s. I thought the first part was extremely strong. The creatures that tried to enter Robert Morgan's home during the night did not look terrifying and their death cries were sometimes laughable. But it still managed to fascinate me. And that for such an old, dated movie

3.5*

Yes, that's also nice, although I may have a slight preference for The Omega Man because of the more modern SF flavor, but they are not very different from each other. Quite nice after the corona year, nothing less than one and a half meters, face masks, working from home, although it did become code black here in the film. As far as I'm concerned, why the beginning was placed in the middle as a flashback could also have been done chronologically. A lot of Vincent Price, which is of course rarely annoying.
