The Last Woman on Earth

Corman's post-apocalyptic melodrama, telling a story of a cheap tart caught between two desperate men. Slightly charming, but incredibly banal and uninteresting.

Not terrible but very run of the mill post apocalyptic last few people on earth story that plays out predictably.

If this film had to walk so that The Quiet Earth could run, than it's value is ten fold. Ultimately too slow with too little actually at play despite the clever premise. Love the tantalizing poster though!

48.

I started out giving this film a better score, but as I thought about it my score dropped. They caught me with the women torn between not just two men, but two different views of life. At the end it starts building for it's big climax, then it sputters.

Interesting setup (three friends out scubadiving are the only (known) survivors when the world's oxygen suddenly dips, killing everyone) and played surprisingly low-key. It's a little too clunky, too stiffly acted and they accept their situation much too easily; still, not without merits.

Corman's buck-and-a-half version of _The World, the Flesh, and the Devil_ minus the racial issues but with gangsters and cool jazz instead. Filmed on the sly while Rog was shooting _Creature from the Haunted Sea_, this clearly has rush job written all over it but in its own small way is quite interesting.

Boring.

interesting plot and with the right people and script could have been amazing, but as it is it simply falls short of being anything but a movie to spend an hour and a half without being too bored.

An alright flix. There's a lot of good ideas and it's not poorly shot, but I'd say that the screenplay could have used a LOT more work and the movie itself could have used much better actors.
