Rated 5 out of 5 stars
the daddy of the genre
Grandaddy of all modern zombie movies, though George Romero has stated his inspiration for this was Richard Matheson's novella "I Am Legend" , which was made into a movie in 1964..."Last Man On Earth", starring Vincent Price...Romero said this movie was an"homage" to "I Am Legend"...Matheson quipped he didn't realize that homage meant his work was going to be used but he wasn't going to get paid for it...originally in black and white, this is a colorized version...while not a huge fan of colorizing movies, this one doesn't suffer too much under the technology...doesn't make it a better film, but it doesn't detract from it terribly either....the storyline is familiar to almost anyone who has seen a zombie movie...strangers thrown together in a strange building...do they make a run for it, or sit tight and wait for rescue that may never come? Usual conflicts of characters, bickering, and lots of flesh eating ghouls...pretty graphic stuff for 1968...truly a classic, and a genre defining movie...
