The stakes are high and the blood runs thick on this week’s vampiric episode of Videodrome Cinema. We’re taking a look at George A. Romero’s under-seen horror cult-classic, Martin (1978). This tale follows a troubled youth (who may or may not be a vampire) and the clash of wills between him and his fanatically religious uncle. It’s the old-world vs the new, in this revisionist vampire take, where there is no magic, no fangs...only a boy with a pocketful of razor-blades and a taste for human blood.
