LAST MAN ON EARTH
Action, Drama, Horror

Synopsis:
When a disease turns all of humanity into the living dead, the last man on earth becomes a reluctant vampire hunter.

Plot (contains spoiler):
In the year 1968, every day is the same for Dr. Robert Morgan (Price): he wakes up, gathers his weapons and then goes hunting for vampires. Morgan lives in a world where everyone else has been infected by a plague that has turned them into undead, vampiric creatures that cannot stand sunlight, fear mirrors, and are repelled by garlic. They would kill Morgan if they could, but fortunately, they are weak and unintelligent. At night, Morgan locks himself inside his house; during the day, he kills as many vampires as he can, burning the bodies.

A flashback sequence explains that, three years before, Morgan's wife and daughter had succumbed to the plague, before it was widely known by the public that the dead would return to life. Instead of taking his wife to the same public burn pit used to dispose of his daughter's corpse, Morgan buried her without the knowledge of the authorities. When his wife returned to his home and attacked him, Morgan became aware of the need to kill the plague victims with a wooden stake. Morgan hypothesizes that he is immune to the bacteria because he was bitten by an infected vampire bat when he was stationed in Panama, which introduced a diluted form of the plague into his blood.

One day, a dog appears in the neighborhood. Desperate for companionship, Morgan chases after the dog but does not catch it. Some time later, the dog appears, wounded, at Morgan's doorstep. He takes the dog into his home and treats its wounds, looking forward to having company for the first time in three years. He quickly discovers, however, that it too has become infected with the plague. Morgan is later seen burying the dog, which he has impaled with a wooden stake.

After burying the dog Morgan spots a woman in the distance. The woman, Ruth, is terrified of Morgan at first sight, and runs from him. Morgan convinces her to return to his home, but is suspicious of her true nature. Ruth becomes ill when Morgan waves garlic in her face, but claims that she has a weak stomach.

Morgan's suspicion that Ruth is infected is confirmed when he discovers her attempting to inject herself with a combination of blood and vaccine that holds the disease at bay. Ruth initially draws a gun on Morgan, but surrenders it to him. Ruth then tells him that she is part of a group of people like her — infected but under treatment — and was sent to spy on Morgan. The vaccine allows the people to function normally with the drug in the bloodstream, but once it wears off, the infection takes over the body again. Ruth explains that her people are planning to rebuild society as they destroy the remaining vampires, and that many of the vampires Morgan killed were technically still alive.

While Ruth is asleep, Morgan transfuses his own blood into her. She is immediately cured, and Morgan sees hope that, together, they can cure the rest of her people. Moments later, however, Ruth's people attack. Morgan takes the gun and flees his home while the attackers kill the vampires gathered around Morgan's home.

Ruth's people spot Morgan and chase him. He exchanges gunfire with them, and picks up tear gas grenades from a police station armory along the way. While the tear gas delays his pursuers somewhat, Morgan is wounded by gunfire and retreats into a church. Despite Ruth's protests to let Morgan live, his pursuers finally impale him on the altar with a spear. With his dying breaths, Morgan denounces his pursuers as "freaks," and declares that he is the last true man on earth.

I can listen to this man talk forever. Having a whole film where he internally narrates everything is genius.

[scarletjester]

Vincent Price will always hold a place in my favourites list, his voice, his expressions, his acting, he's a instant classic

[linkfan]

That moment when his laughter turned to tears was unexpected and heart-breaking.

[Emily-eggg]

I’m so glad to finally find this film!!! I saw this when I was young, and I swear I was beginning to think that I had imagined it, because nobody ever seems to remember it! And whenever I hear people discuss Vincent’s greatest works, they never mention this film. I think it’s brilliant! His voice is perfection, and having him narrate this was a wonderful idea!

[gulyasdavid]

Price and Lugosi was the 2 best classic horror caracter.. To me, this is Price best movie. Berst 60's movie ever

[RobsOtherChannel]

59:38 "Everything's going to be alright", Vincent assures his dog. So awesome how they brought that one moment into "I Am Legend".

[lindasmith]

Watching this during the coronavirus...April 14, 2020....I have seen it before and think this version is so much better than "I Am Legend."

[AmNotHere]

Before any troll or moderator removes this movie might I remind them this film is in public domain so any complaint that a copyright has been infringed is a moronic assertion.

[sad-death]

I loved this movie when I was a kid, my dad used to own a Vicent Price DVD combo pack of this and House on Haunted Hill.
We lost it some odd years ago, and now after 10 years I can watch it again online.

This and the Twilight zone fueled my love for classic movies and sci-fi, and anything set in a dystopian universe.

[patstokes]

Vincent Price was a great actor that should have been given better roles. What a great voice he had, there was no one with he quality of voice.

[thaharmaiiioptreshenanig]

The burning pit of bodies is one of the most powerful images I’ve seen in film.

[yajustgotaloveit]

Vincent Price always had the best dialog of any actor in history, a pure genus of the theater!

[MrGroovyus]

Last man... with an alarm-clock!! So, this was the real movie, the real thing!! Classic!! And Vincent Price, what a class of an actor!!

[OzymandiasWasRight]

So happy I finally found this. I saw this as a kid on a sick day, and couldn't ever find it again. Really appreciate this being available!

[karlpresler]

Go to a different house and the zombies won't know you are there or clean up your place alittle each day and you might feel better. First saw this movie when it came out and still love it.

[kirovkirov]

So bad Vincent Price isn't around today, he would know how to deal with coronavirus.

[Ivan-rlmk]

Vincent is such a great actor, he makes the role seem so real

[splattt]

It's based on the book "I Am Legend", which is also what the remake starring Will Smith is called. The name comes from the fact that everyone else is content with being a vampire and he isn't. He's the one killing these innocent people, the one they'll tell stories about for centuries, the one they have nightmares about, he is legend.

[mcp]

I never saw this movie before. I didn't know it existed until I saw it posted as better than I am Legend.

[jeenkzk]

From what I understand, this version is far more faithful to the book that the recent version.
