I love Vincent Price, but, ohhhh was this movie depressing. It's not bad enough that all the people die, but, to come back as zombies and live with it day in and day out...well, I'd rather watch a few ghosts and murders and get on with my life!!

I really enjoy Vincent Price movies, but this one was a little slow and wasn't quite what I was expecting. It's one of those movies that would have been better if it were faster in it's pace. Most of the other reviews here accurately describe the movie, so I won't repeat the. But, if you don't mind a movie that takes it's time in unfolding and concluding, give this one a spin in your dvd player. I will say though that the picure and sound are EXCELLENT!

I was pleasently surprised by this movie.. I have yet to see a Vincent Price movie tht I didn't like.. This movie first of all being presented in widescreen is awesome in itself but the clearity of the picture is incredible. I was expecting a typicle Dawn of the Dead story with vampires from what I read.. but.. there was a PLOT TWIST. I have to admit that I wasn't expecting it.. I recommend this flick to any Vincent Price fan...

The Alpha picture and sound quality is excellent, and the story is fascinating. It was remade as "The Omega Man," starring Charleston Heston.

Vincent Price is a doctor involved in combatting a deadly plague that leads to vampire-like zombies. Since he survives, he must then battle the zombies. What's unusual is the machismo he brings to the role, at odds with the oft-times effeminate manner he used (for example "House on Haunted Hill" or "The Wax Museum").

I am really pleased Alpha has released this movie on DVD, I've been after a copy for years! The print is Letterboxed and looks great. The sound is nice, too! Buy this and screen it with 'House On Haunted Hill', great for Halloween!!!

I am sorry to post three reviews but I am really jazzed about this film. I wish Oldies let us edit this...

There is in existance another movie called "The Last Man On Earth" it was made in 1924 and is silent. I think this is an amazingly fine flick and I want you to see it but please-I trust Oldies and Alpha Video to put out a great product-the "other purveyor" I mentioned below boxes the Price film in a box which describes the 1924 silent version. I was in fact buuying that silent version when I serenditpitously found this gem inside. In other words the bozos just looked at the title and stuck it in a box without ever bothering to find out if it was the right movie. They don't know thier product. Their product like I said is in my lousy opinion unacceptable. The print is washy. not letterboxed and the audio cracks like whip.

Wait for the Oldies/Alpha version. I doubt they will let us down!

And it's letterboxed Cripes-what else do you want!

I have this on dvd by another purveyor (who shall remain namless). The print and audio is second rate. I was hoping that Alpha would release it. Alpha has consitantly brought excellent quality to DVD and I am confindent they have done so again! I will buy this version when it comes out in late August.

The story predates "Night of the Living Dead " by a couple of decades but the story line is amazingly simular. The zombies here have a bit of rudimentary intelligence allowing them to articulate thier desires to kill Price while still being unable to out run him.

This is an Italian made film with American (or rather English speaking ) actors-it is not dubbed.
I know very little of the history except that it has seldom-if ever- been seen on TV and I do not recall it being in theatres (and I am old enough to recall but not so old I have forgotten.)

Buy this movie. You absolutley will not regret it!
