From horror legend George A. Romero (Dawn of the Dead, Night of the Living Dead), this twisted take on the vampire film centres on a young man who believes he is a real bloodsucker! Lacking fangs and wings, Martin must make do with drugging women and slashing their wrists with razor blades for his "nourishment".
When sent to live with his dictatorial, Nosferatu-obsessed uncle (Lincoln Maazel), Martin is again unleashed on a blood thirsty rampage. George A. Romero's all-time personal favourite film, this stylish chiller will impress diehard bloodhounds with its inventive murder sequences and stunning effects by gore-master Tom Savini (Day of the Dead).
But Romero also creates a triumph of mood and atmosphere by alternating dingy colour with expressionistic black and white to startling effect. This terror classic includes an exclusive audio commentary from the director and a series of fascinating Romero interviews.
