I figured after the death of Sam, what else was there for Neville to live for? Yeah he could go on and keep trying to find a cure but I think Sam helped keep his "humanity" in check and gave him someone to interact with, something real, not manequins.
Now I haven't read the book but I think that The Last Man on Earth follows the source material more closely then this film. In the Price film, the darkseekers/vamps have a conciousness and know of the man who kills them in their sleep but has also killed humans unknowningly, hence becoming a "legend" among the vamp community. I felt this movie didn't really touch on that and I think it should have. Maybe they should have shown more of Neville hunting these things down, I think we only got a glimpse of it when he's going over his map and marking off apt buildings he's gone through either raiding or going through to kill them.
The one main thing I didn't like about the new version was the throwing in there of the butterfly from Marley that just happens to coincide with the tattoo on the female seeker. I felt it was too forced considering the butterfly flying through the corn field and the alpha male "drawing" it on the glass.
