[i]Last Man on Earth[/i] (aka [i]L’Ultimo uomo della Terra[/i], 1964) is an adaptation of Richard Matheson’s [i]I Am Legend[/i] starring Vincent Price. He stars as the last remaining survivor of a plague that has wiped out the populace, but has rendered its victims vampires. It was later remade, starring Charlton Heston, as [i]The Omega Man[/i]. While some think this movie is as dull as dirt, I’m a big fan of it (and Price gives a suitably restrained perf that goes against his campy stereotype). It’s a nice, atmospheric cult sci-fi/horror film. What I don’t get is why it was the top-rated show on the SciFi Channel. They’ve got their hands on a good print, but it’s mostly cinephiles that are going to be interested in checking it out, instead of your standard genre fan.
That’s just odd.
