May 16th : The Last Man On Earth

"A devastating plague wipes out the world's population.The lone survivor, Dr. Bob Morgan manages to stay alive thanks to an immunity he picked up while researching the bacteria. As night falls, Plague victims leave their graves to form a hellish army of the undead thirsting for blood!"

So, if you're a typical movie goer today, you recognized that plot description as the one for the Will Smith Flick a few years ago, I Am Legend. Oh, you remember :

But actually, that's the description on the back of my DVD case for The Last Man On Earth, a movie of the near exact same plot-line but instead starring Vincent Price that come out in 1964. Now, Any Tim Burton fan would know Vincent Price as the directors person hero, but for those who claim sanity, Price is better known in this generation as that scientist guy from Edward Scissorhands.


Anyways, the movie aspired I Am Legend during the entirety of the movie.
For those who have yet to see I Am Legend or The Last Man On Earth, The story is about a plague (told in different details in the 2 versions but lets go with the original since its old) that whipes out the entire world except one man, who has built up an immunity to it. Those who were infected with the virus later walk the earth, vampiric and blood thirsty. Morgan (Price) continues too live day after day for years, going mad by trying to force himself not to have emotions but having laughing and crying fits for what horrors he has seen. The end of the movie is shocking and deffinatly in the taste of old horror. The Ending of The Last Man On Earth is even rather different and more tragic than that of it's remake, and is defiantly a movie that doesn't frighten or disgust you, but really leaves you thinking.

The movie isn't rated, and really not very Violent, considering the vampires are the good old fashioned slow rotting kind, not like Strong Edward Cullen (don't get me wrong...the BOOKS are good) but there is still some violent concept ideas, so don't worry extensively, but if your like my mom who didn't let me watch Pokemon until my teens, screen this one first.
This full movie is on Youtube (not in pieces the whole thing!!!) at this link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ibnpEk4hdjo.
No strings attached its really there. I can't promise the quality the quality but its there.


So far the old movie mission is a success, but two movies isn't much to tell by. hopefully tomorrow's movie impresses me as much as these.
Wish me luck!
