Martin

Martin boards a train from Indianapolis to Pittsburgh. He sedates a woman with an injection, strips her naked and drinks her blood. His elderly relative Tateh Cuda picks him up and they ride the train to Braddock. It's his new home with Tateh and cousin Christine after the death of his family. Tateh is a religious old man who tries to contain Martin using old style anti-vampire tactics. None of it works. Martin is forbidden to speak to Christine.

This is a wonderful twist on the vampire genre. This is a great contribution from George A. Romero that isn't a zombie movie. It is surprisingly fresh. The actors are amateurs but they fit their roles very well. I would love a remake by somebody with both edge and visual style. Romero did his best with this no-budget indie.
