While not a zombie movie proper, TLMOE is a creepy retelling of Richard Matheson’s I Am Legend with plenty of 1960s era zombie movie themes.

Its good but not as good as the book, much better than the more recognised Omega Man. It also helps that Vincent Price can make any film creepy.

The film was made on a shoestring but captures the feel of the book pretty well. My only gripe, and it’s so minor as to not spoil the viewing experience, is that I never got the sense of time passing like I did in the book. I mean, he was the last man for YEARS. Long enough to learn enough biology to work on a cure, but that never really comes across in the movie.
This film is a million-billion times better than the recent remake, and a few thousand times better than Omega Man.
