Synopsis
Martin is a young man who behaves like a vampire, but uses hypodermic needles and razors to extract blood from his victims. Martin is looked after by his elderly Romanian cousin Tati Cuda, who has threatened to kill him if he does not stop his blood-letting. Tati believes that Martin is really an 85-year-old vampire, but it remains to be seen whether Martin is just a disturbed teenager or actually one of the undead.

Trivia
During a screening and interview at USC, director George Romero related that the MPAA objected to a shot of Martin slicing someone's arm open with a razor blade. The entire shot would've earned the film the notorious "X" rating, and so he had to trim it by several seconds. The length of the shot, not the subject matter, was objectionable.
The original cut of the film ran nearly 2 hours 45 minutes.
Romero has confirmed that there is no known existing copy of the legendary 2 hour 45 minute cut at a recent screening of the film in New York City.
