Gotta admit, it was enjoyable enough shite, with some crazy assed kills, a cheapo rubber masked killer and a shot of a bloke having a piss
I actually laughed out loud during the end scene, brilliant! It's back in it's case now, where I reckon i will stay for a long time

I don't want to say "I told you so!"

Just remembered that I didn't rate "The Last Man on Earth". I use such films as "The Omega Man" and "Soylent Green" as standard 10/10 movies. Vincent Price, as I mentioned before plays the part of Morgan with great sympathy and makes us feel for him in a way that Chuck Heston couldn't do if he tried. 14/10 for that sympathy and ladies with far too much hairspray!

Richard Matheson's novel "I am Legend" has certainly caught the attention of Hollywood!

"The Last Man on Earth" (1964)
"The Omega Man" (1971)
"I Am Legend" (2007)
"I Am Omega" (2007)

I have only seen 3 of the 4 so cannot comment on "I Am Omega" but out of the other three there isn't a bad film among 'em!

I love The Last Man on Earth, not only for Price's more forlorn, under-stated performance, but because the film just imbibes the feeling of loneliness throughout. I find The Omega Man to be a bit more hokey and cheesy, but it still manages to entertain. I didn't care much for I Am Legend - awful effects that can't help but distract, plus I'm not a fan of Smith as an actor at all really. Like you, I also haven't seen I Am Omega.

It's a decent entry into the sub-genre, but my favourite remains Cohen's Black Caesar.

I am still yet to be a victim of the Goatman. I'm sure it won't be too long before I am drawn into his evil clutches, though.

Curiously Richard Matheson didn't work on Last man on earth and he actually didn't care for the film either. A shame really as I fully agree that it's probably the closest version of the book. Really hated the Will Smith one, the vampires looked too much like monsters. The point is they should should still look very human.
Fortunately Matheson didn't hold too much of a grudge because at this point he was doing some incredible work with AIP writing screenplays and had worked on a lot of the Corman Poe films. He'd also write COMEDY OF TERRORS which has one of the best screenplays in my opinion.

PAH,moaning around being all lonely and trying to find a cure to save humanity is all very well,but the bottom line is when the shit goes down whats important is food and procreation,so grab them guns and get out there and kill them mutants and don't come back untill there all dead,now thats a movie.

Incredible melting man watched few week back on horror channel , seem before its real cheese but entertaining cheese, city of lost children is a fantastic film.

Watched The Incredible Melting Man a few nights back after recording off the horror channel a few weeks ago. First time. Really enjoyed it, great effects and very corny cheesy script. I was expecting something a little nastier but I actually found it to be quite fun.

Alien Nation with James Caan and Mandy Patinkin. Decent 80's sci-fi variation on the buddy cop movie.

Deranged

Highly disturbing and scary, but also I found very funny in places a wonderful performance from Robert blossom as he slowy descends further and further in to madness. To anyone like me who has not seen it before to yourself a favour a buy this classic, I dare say I enjoyed this more than Texas chainsaw massacre 10/10

Just remember The wages of sin is gonorrhea, syphilis, and death!

Deranged - "The wages of sin is gonorrhea, syphilis and death!" - YouTube

Next I shall watch the first film in the coffin joe box set.
