The Last Man on Earth
In a post-epidemic nightmare world, scientist Robert Morgan (Vincent Price) is the only man immune to the plague which has transformed the entire population of the Earth into vampire-like creatures. He becomes the monster slayer that vampire-society fears. Curing one of them, Ruth (Franca Bettoja), with a transfusion of his blood gives him hope for the future. It is a short future, however, since the other vampires quickly find and kill him. This dark tale, based on Richard Matheson's even darker novel "I Am Legend," was later remade as The Omega Man with Charlton Heston in the Vincent Price role. ~ Lucinda Ramsey, All Movie Guide
Panic in the Year Zero
Ray Milland both starred in and directed the morose, minimalist sci-fier Panic in the Year Zero! (original title: Panic in Year Zero!). En route from Los Angeles to a vacation in the mountains, Harry Baldwin (Milland), his wife, Ann (Jean Hagen), and his teen-aged children, Rick (Frankie Avalon) and Karen (Mary Mitchell), are appalled to see a mushroom cloud forming over the L.A. skyline. With the highways clogged by panicking motorists, Milland and his family decide to head to the shelter of their fishing spot, there to wait until more news about the nuclear disaster is available. Everywhere they drive, however, the family is confronted by rampaging looters, heavily armed survivalists, and doped-up motorcycle punks. Attempting to remain calm and collected in the face of Armageddon, Milland ends up as violent and animalistic as everyone else. Though it avoids proselytizing for the most part, Panic in the Year Zero! does fall back on the old reliable "The Beginning" fadeout title. The most powerful aspect of the film is the "normalcy" of Milland's family: we are made to feel throughout that what happens to them could very well happen to us, and how then would we react? ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
I've been looking for Panic in the Year Zero for years.
Ray Milland.....story of a family that leaves L.A. for a
camping vacation, and drive into World War III, with L.A.
obliterated by a nuke behind them. Story of their survival. Very realistic and pertinent today I would believe.
Ebay has these for the last year!
What? That roach you dropped in the sofa cushions last month?

Do you talk too much while watching movies?
larry, ssh
I completed my collection of WarCraft and got a neat mil-shooter game on Amazon.
After the first day of class, I'll buy the books I need there instead of paying extortion at the bookstore.
AMAZON ROCKS!
Looks like your every day Chipmunk.
Its so young, I didn't know if it was a chipmunk or squirrel. Thanks for the clarification.
How about "X - The Man with X-ray Eyes"? Scared me as a kid. I saw it within the last year a lmao. Same thing with "Reptilicus"
This should be in breaking news.
