This DVD has two good movies on it, that sci-fi/survivalist fans will really enjoy. Panic in the year zero is great movie, but a bit long. It very accurately covers the plight of an average middle class family and provides insight on how using your head can get you through tough times. Even though it is not packed full of special effects [which too many movies lean pretty hard on these days..], the story line is quite believable and interesting. The ending may be a bit out of touch with todays world, but in all a very good movie. I think you can actually pick up some great ideas from this one. The last man on earth is also a good one to see. Vincent price does a very good job capturing the essence of being truly alone and in despair. Although the story line is a bit more fantasy, it is an interesting movie none the less. This was the original forerunner of similar movies; like "The Omega Man" with Charlton Heston.. [ a must see.. CLASSIC Heston!, and my favourite of the three movies in this "trilogy/genre"..] Did you know "I am Legend" with Will Smith is the latest modern movie based on the old Vincent Price version? I own all three! I'd recommend both movies to add to your collection, and you just might find yourself watching them over and over.Read full review
Two great movies found to be even better than remembered as being when first seen a long time ago, which doesn't always happen that way. Most enjoyable viewing of two films that have endured time well. Imagine they are both classics.

I saw "Panic in the Year Zero" when it first came out in the theater in the early 60s. It still sucks! But not in a bad way. I collect movies that are so bad they are great. "Panic in the Year Zero" isn't one of the best since it actually has a plot and makes sense but it makes up for it with the cheesy acting. Still it has earned a spot in my collection. "Last Man on Earth" is worse or better depending on how you look at it. Vincent Price isn't at his best which makes it more entertaining. I doubt it's based on a true story. Sorry to say this but Godzilla might not be real either.
This film shows the mindset and the mass hysteria of the Cold War era. Are we safer now? No, we are not. Hysteria is still around, but people seem to be choosing their own brand of it. Panic in Year Zero is not a great movie. It made an impression on me in the 60s though, and I had to see it again. Worth your time.

It was a used DVD but played well. It was a black and white film but was clear and easy to watch. It was a 1960s flick but ahead of its time and shows how little the geopolitical map has changed little if any in the last half century.
