Martin (1977)
An "intelligent" horror
18 July 2004
"Intelligent horror"? Well, it captures the viewer in the first scene. You get to see what it would be like to be a 77 year old young man who needs blood to survive and deal with the stigma of being a "vampire" in his family. There is definately a dark humor going on here. It is not a jump out at you horror movie. You know

who the monster is, and he really isn't a monster. Very unique take on the

vampire story.

I thought this was both a well made horror film, yet a wonderful film that dealt with a few relationships in this person's life and how he related to them. I think this film is a sleeper. I'm suprised more "art house" film people don't speak more of this film. Maybe because it is a Romero film they think it is just a monster gore fest. Check it out, good stuff.
