The Last Man on Earth. 1964.

When a plague wipes out the population a lone survivor becomes a vampire hunter.

Based on Richard Matheson's novel shows a bleak post apocalyptic world that was taken out by a plague and turned people into zombie like vampires and a survivor Dr. Robert Morgan played brilliantly by Vincent Price who narrates his daily routine of rounding up dead bodies to put them in a pit, and then goes hunting during the day. There is a sense of sadness and emotion as he remembers his life before the plague with his wife and daughter. filmed in black and white this gives us the dark atmosphere at night when at night they rise to attack and builds up the tension when he is hunting. A great film that can never be boring.
