    George Romero's Martin

    One of those movies that has been in my collection for a while and I never watched it until last night. I liked the different aproach the the "vampire" and it had a good creepy lonely feeling to the movie but I found some of the black and white "flashbacks" pretty distracting, seemed to interupt the movie at points.

    Not one of Romero's best but still original, I'd give it a 5/10

    I always really liked this movie. Interesting concept, I guess he was what Master Shake would call a reverse vampire. The shots were vintage Romero and overall not a bad movie. prob 6/10

    Has some great moody scenes, and I liked the black and white fantasy segments. One of the biggest complaints would be Martin's weak performance.

    I really enjoyed Romero's unique take on the vampire genre. The movie was creepy, and creates a depressing and lonesome atmosphere that clings to you long after the movie is over. I think it's an underrated film that deserves more attention than it gets.
    7/10

    Could Martin BE anymore Ginger? I thought his head was on fire the first time I watched it.

    I haven't seen the movie in a very long time but I remember it being unique yet uninspired. The concept was an interesting departure from the norm, the execution however was a little sloppy. Parts of it were good and weird, I guess Romero did fine with what he had, still isn't a film i'd want to re-watch frequently.

    Probably hit it with a 6/10 and say it's worth a look.

    I liked it but that was quite a few years ago. I might watch it again just to see if it still holds up...

    Very unique horror film, actually one could say it's more of a character study incorporated within a disturbing psychological thriller. Not a suspense thriller by any means considering the pace but still definitely a must see IMO for it's originality. The thinking person's vampire film. Romero's attacks at religion aren't exactly clear until the movie starts to reach it's conclusion. The uncle was the worst and relentless pain in the ass who helped mold Martin into exactly what he bacame...a monster. 8/10
