 The Last Man on Earth
comment
The Last Man on Earth is a 1964 Italian-American post-apocalyptic Sci-Fi Horror film, directed by Ubaldo Ragona and Sidney Salkow and starring Vincent Price. It is an adaptation of Richard Matheson's classic novel I Am Legend, and is in many ways closer to the source material than either of the subsequent film adaptations (The Ωmega Man and I Am Legend).Not to be confused with the comedy series of the same name or the Mary Shelley novel The Last Man

Poor Communication Kills: Had Robert and Ruth’s people not fed into their prejudice and fear of each other and actually tried communicating then Robert would not have died and they would not have condemned themselves to an existence where they will have to have continues vaccines just to keep the virus at bay in order to not turn into the vampires.

Crapsack World: There is exactly one human left, with everybody else being a ravenous, bloodsucking monster. Except there are a few stragglers, who live in fear of the supposed last man who has been mistakenly killing them.

Adaptational Job Change: In the original text, Robert was a factory worker who struggled with advanced concepts like science. In this adaptation, he's a disease researcher.

Downer Ending: Morgan learns he killed people who had managed to regain their sentience, not knowing they were vaccinated, and that they view him as the monster. Soon after discovering his blood is a cure, but before he can communicate that information, the vaccinated people kill him.

Flashback
 The Last Man on Earth / int_53c9fc92
comment
Flashbacks: Most of the film's second act is taken up with flashbacks that show how Robert's life fell apart as the disease progressed and destroyed everything he loved, as well as the inability of humanity to understand or cure it.

The Immune: Morgan spends his time hunting for someone like this to make a cure for the plague. He eventually learns there's no need. Because everyone on Earth is either dead or undead.

Our Vampires Are Different
 The Last Man on Earth / int_9f63d4f1
comment
Our Vampires Are Different: These are made by an airborne virus, which kills and resurrects humans. They are overall mindless and sleep during the daytime, alongside being repulsed by garlic and mirrors. However, they can regain their sentience via a vaccine, and be cured with an immune person's blood.

Came Back Wrong: Arguably Virginia, Robert's wife. Dead and brought back by the disease, she can remember where she lives and who Robert is, but her humanity and any fragment of her personality have been obliterated, leaving her one of the essentially mindless creatures.
