I thought this movie to be quite good actually. I owned it for a while and now I am kind of sad to have swapped it already. It reminded me of I am Legend, with Will Smith. I recollect that is where I am Legend got its plot. Real good movie even though nothing startles you keep in mind in those days they didn't really have good special effects or costumes. Just your run of the mill Zombie in the suit and tie. But all in all is a good movie.

Make sure it's this MGM version; look for the little lion an

"I love this film and want to make a point here which some other reviewers have already discussed, but I feel it's worth reiterating: it is vitally important that viewers purchase this or another good quality version of this film so that it can be experienced fully. Avoid the colourised and/or cheap versions. I have two DVDs of this film, this one and a cheap one I bought which was put out by Silver Screams, and oh boy, please avoid the latter as it was such a terrible print with blank lines through the picture, contrast completely washed out, constant black squiggles and the sound was horrendous. How these cheap DVDs manage to get into circulation is beyond me and those that produce and sell them should be run out of town! The good news is that this MGM version is the next best thing to seeing this film in a cinema; the picture is bright and crystal clear which makes B&W a total joy, it's in full widescreen, and the sound is excellent. It is well worth a few extra dollars to ensure that your viewing experience is the very best, especially with films like this one."
