I watched this last night and thought it was very good. It's a fascinating idea to be the only man in a town/city/shopping mall but, just as George A. Romero did with Dawn of the Dead nearly 20 years later, such freedom can become maddening, creating a prison of its own.
Also, the ending perfectly suited the subject as, if you had been on your own without any human contact for over four weeks, your imagination would start running wild. Considering this was several years before the Apollo missions began, I thought it was quite forwardthinking.
