In the movie The Last Man on Earth, Vincent Price plays the character Dr. Robert Morgan, who believes he is the last surviving human on Earth after a plague has wiped out the rest of humanity. The movie begins with chilling scenes of Morgan foraging through the deserted streets of a city, collecting supplies and killing vampire-like creatures who have been transformed by the plague.
As the movie moves forward, we see flashbacks of Morgan's past life - his wife and daughter succumbed to the same disease that he managed to survive. As he struggles to survive in a world that has drastically changed from what he used to know, Morgan becomes increasingly fixated on finding a cure for the disease - which he believes lies in his own blood.
As he experiments on a captured vampire, we see Morgan's inner turmoil and desperation to find a cure, as he grapples with the ethical implications of his actions. The scenes where Morgan is alone, talking to himself or his dog, provide an intimate glimpse into the mind of a man struggling with isolation and the weight of his solitude.
As time goes on, Morgan's existence becomes increasingly tenuous as he is hunted by the very creatures he used to hunt. He reluctantly befriends a woman named Ruth (played by Franca Bettoia) who appears to be immune to the disease but carries some dark secrets of her own.
As Morgan becomes closer to unlocking the mystery of the disease, the tension in the movie builds, leading to a dramatic climax that will leave the audience questioning everything they thought they knew about the story.
Overall, The Last Man on Earth is a gripping and haunting movie that explores the human psyche in a world where everything we know has been lost. It is a movie that looks at the ethically complicated nature of survival, isolation and the drive to find a cure at any cost. Vincent Price's performance is masterful, and the film seeps with a sense of ennui and melancholia that make it a must-watch for fans of classic horror.
The Last Man on Earth is a 1964 horror movie with a runtime of 1 hour and 26 minutes. It has received mostly positive reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 6.7.
