Far ahead of her time, the author of Frankenstein offers her powerful messages about intolerance and militarism, which are as prophetic today and they are relevant to the world in which we may be living in tomorrow.
What makes this truly independent epic so intriguing is that it was produced on a budget about the size of Robert Rodriguez' "El Mariachi", yet spans seven months of photography across the American Southwest, offering scenes of great scope usually associated with big budget studio pictures, including, the burning of an American city, jumbo jets, nuclear blasts, impressive crowd scenes and downtown street warfare with automatic weapons that have never before been attempted in a guerrilla film.

Mary Shelley's "The Last Man" is perhaps the first guerrilla feature film to successfully attempt to produce an epic with production values that far surpass "The Omega Man" and "The Last Man On Earth", offering an independent companion within the "Last Man" genre for those awaiting the upcoming release of the Warner Bros Studio production of "I Am Legend" starring Will Smith.
