Excellent film. A classic by Vincent Price.
I loved this movie. Doesn't matter at all that it's old and black & white. If anything, this movie shows the professionalism of the actors, director, and crew of it's time.
This movie is a slight variation on the original Richard Matheson novel "I am Legend", and is a far closer and better rendition than the butchered Will Smith version. One can also clearly see how this film had an influence on George Romero, who reinterpreted the book to his own "zombie" legend.
Vincent Price is in his prime element, playing a monster. The last man resistant to change.
