For the love of God, DO NOT BY ANY DVDS THAT HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH ELSTREE HILL ENTERTAINMENT!!! The film prints are obviously from the cheapest source possible and are fit for nothing other than the bin. No attempt has been made to restore the picture or sound quaity or even to correct the aspect ratio.
As for the film itself, I would love to be able to review it but I couldn't even stand 10 minutes of a film of this quality, its like torture!

Sadly i was dissapointed with the quality of this dvd,as other people have written also,i thought at first it was my dvd player,but sadly it was not..they could have at least cleaned up the picture as it can be done & should have been done,the film is a little lack lustre & although i appreciate that it only cost me a few pounds i will be giving this to a charity shop because i will not watch this one again,so sad as vincent price is/was a legend in my mind to be put straight to a dvd in such poor quality like they have,shame on you.He deserves better than this release.YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED

For god's sake don't buy the "Elstree Hill Entertainment" edition of the film. The picture quality on this disc is absolutely horrible. I've been wanting to see this film for so long, but I couldn't bear to spoil the fun by watching it the way presented here.

NB: As usual, Amazon have bundled all the reviews for various editions of the Last Man On Earth together. This review refers to MGM/UA's Region 1 NTSC DVD that double-bills it with Panic in the Year Zero.

Despite the author's well-known dislike of it, The Last Man On Earth is surprisingly good version of Richard Matheson's I Am Legend, and makes a fascinating comparison with Chuck's insanely enjoyable version The Omega Man. It may have less action, a much lower budget, a score considerably less funky than Ron Grainer's, and what looks like the suburbs around Rome's Cinecitta Studios standing in for the USA, but it offers a much more disturbing account of civilisation gradually breaking down around its powerless hero (a restrained and very convincing Vincent Price). And for anyone familiar with the remake, the even bleaker ending here is a real surprise. Recommended - it's not an all-time great, but it's well worth a look.

MGM/UA's Region 1 NTSC DVD's 2.35:1 widescreen black and white transfer is superb - easily the best on the market of this much-issued title - with a six-minute interview with Richard Matheson as the only extra.

So too is Ray Milland's forgotten post-Apocalyptic directorial effort Panic in Year Zero!, which takes a surprisingly sober and convincing look at the possible effects of an unexpected nuclear attack on the survivors. Confusion and denial gradually give way to a determination to survive at any price, as Milland's family everyman, so busy looking for the darkness in others he doesn't see it in himself, takes charge with a coldly logical determination to put his family first that naturally leads to cold-blooded murder.

It is a constant source of amazement to me that Last Man On Earth has not enjoyed a renaissance amongst the horror community, as one is greatly over due!
This film, pure and simple, is a classic! Now you won't get many reviewers, either professional or amataur, putting their name to such a claim. This, possibly, is because people don't want to look unknowledgable: to go against the status quo in either direction (eg, to claim 2001 was cack [no I don't think it is, incidentally], or to say LMOE is great) ivites derision from a staid and unyielding mind set.
It may be said that the lack of budget shows through, or other similar trifles may be focussed on, but in the end LMOE is a pioneering example of the genre, from it's european style of filming, which lends to the film a refreshing 'otherness' and not a little grace, to the lack of any romantic counterpart for the title character, to the unrelenting emotional rawness and downbeat finale.
A few years later another film came out, one that was eventually hailed as a classic despite its minor faults. Upon viewing that film and LMOE one could easily draw the conclusion that LMOE pre-empted most of the points that granted the later flick classic status. The newer film was Night Of The Living Dead. Go watch them side by side and you'll see what I mean.
Perhaps with the Will Smith version of this tale doing well at the box office LMOE will finally recieve the attention it so richly deserves.

A good story of a worldwide epidemic that wipes out the poulation leaving one man to defend himself from the undead. Remade years later as the Omega Man starring Charlton Heston, and then more years later it was once again remade as I Am Legend which was the original name for the book it is based on. The print quality is not the best and there are no amazing special effects. However if you are a fan of sci-fi or Vincent Price, it is a good one to have in your collection
