I am a huge horror fan, and for some reason this movie just did absolutely nothing for me. 45 minutes intro the flick i still had no idea what the hell this movie was a bout. Now, I'm not stupid when it comes to films. I own over 400 and mostly horror, i am a big fan of Fulci, Argento, Romero and the likes. But i read all these other comments and i just didn't see it. It felt contrived and uninspired. Although I will watch again someday soon to really get the full effect. Right now its wasn't my cup of tea. Although most popular for the Dead sagas. I went into his film open minded, a Romero vampire flick, sounds interesting... sounds interesting. The character of Martin I just couldn't figure out if he was retarded acted retarded or just didn't know what the heck was going on. If he was a vampire and you can make your own assessment, he was just a kid who needed rock'em sock'em robots and a girlfriend and he wouldn't drink blood. Watch this movie if you like Romero but if your looking for a cool vampire movie rent something else
