George A. Romero directs John Amplas, Lincoln Maazel and Christine Forrest in this horror drama where a young man believes himself to be a vampire.

Almost a sub genre in and of itself the old ‘Mentally Ill Or Creature Of The Night’. Martin is sleazy and bitty. There are compelling moments, usually his long drawn out attacks on women which are as sad as they are chaotic. This story is only ever really going one way and it often stretches the patience a fair bit. Romero does a good job to keep the mystery alive on a shoestring… Even Martin’s black and white flashback to his vampire origins could be his own delusions.
