Martin Plot Synopsis:
George Romero does for vampires what he has already done to zombies: an intense and realistic treatment that follows the exploits of Martin, who claims to be 84 years old and who certainly drinks human blood. The boy arrives in Pittsburgh to stay with his cousin, who promises to save Martin's soul and destroy him once he is finished, but Martin's loneliness finds other means of release.
Synopsis / Plot Summary: A young man, who believes himself to be a vampire, goes to live with his elderly and hostile cousin in a small Pennsylvania town where he tries to redeem his blood-craving urges.
