George Romero is
best known to horror film fans for his Living
Dead films. My personal favorite,
and what I consider to be his best film, is Martin
(1976), a highly under-rated film shot just prior to what is perhaps his most
beloved film, Dawn of the Dead
(1978). The title character is portrayed
with understated grace by actor John Amplas as a young man whose uncle is
convinced that he is a vampire.
The film will be
screened at the beautiful Nitehawk Cinema in Brooklyn, NY on Monday, August 4,
2014. Actor John Amplas will be on hand
to discuss the film with Fangoria's Sam Zimmerman and answer questions
following the 9:30 pm screening.
