George Romero brings you the bloody, nightmarish tale of MARTIN
A young man, perhaps seventeen or eighteen years old, is riding on the night train from Indianapolis to Pittsburgh. When the other passengers have retired, he calmly picks the lock on a sleeping compartment door, and breaks into a young woman's room... What follows is a scene of blood and lust, though perhaps not quite in the way you might expect... Martin, charming though seemingly a bit mad, is obsessed by the need to drink blood, and so doing, to satisfy his sexual appetite. A whole series of such assaults follows, each carefully planned, until he meets Mrs. Santini (Elyane Nadeau) with whom he has his first 'normal' sexual experience. But watched closely by superstitious, eccentric Cuda (Lincoln Maazel) and championed by Christina (Christine Forrest), family pressures become even tougher... until Martin has to face the facts that his 'stable' relationship is not enough - and is forced to pursue the reality of his bloodthirsty needs... Martin, action-packed, full of drama, blood and lust, is definitely not for the weak stomached or faint of heart!
