George A Romero's Martin (1977) A Sympathetic Monster | Video Essay

Welcome horror fans! This episode is a video essay about Martin (1977) written and directed by filmmaker and master of horror George A Romero. Martin is Romero’s take on the vampire genre, in which the decaying values and beliefs of modern culture are all brought into question. Who is the victim and who is the monster? Romero asks this question and many more in his social commentary about a confused and honest young man who just happens to drink blood.
Martin (1977) is amongst Romero’s personal favourites of all of his own movies and the independent spirit in which the film is made is plain to see.
Martin (1977) in true Romero style turns the vampire genre on its head and gives us, what is for money, one of the best Vampire flicks around.
So, sit back, relax and I hope you enjoy this episode which looks at the production and themes behind the George A. Romero Classic, Martin (1977).
