	Media	Author	Review
		Jim Knipfel Den of Geek	"A completely unique and important addition to the teen vampire genre, and one that’s sadly never given enough credit (…) Rating: ★★★★½ (out of 5)"
		Ben Sachs Chicago Reader	"[It] remains a masterpiece of independent filmmaking (...) 'Martin' showcases the writer-director's talent for cultural observation and his ability to elicit memorable performances from relatively unknown actors"
		Adam Smith Empire	"Gory thriller that makes fun of the vampire myth before the hammer blow of a truly shocking climax (…) Rating: ★★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Judith Martin The Washington Post	"'Martin' is pretentious in a way that pornography is when it is dressed up for people who don't want to admit to their taste"
		Time Out	"Romero plays fascinating games with myth and reality (...) It doesn't always come off, but Romero makes stunning use of his Pittsburgh locations"
