An older George A. Romero film I'd never seen before. It's his take on vampires is done as a more real world scenario and plays out like a strange coming of age drama except with an 80 year old that look 25. It's an interesting idea and it works for the most part. The grandfather figure that suspects his dark secret is rather annoying though.

It's more slow paced movie that explores the logistics of having to feed off blood in a real life scenario. It uses a rather cheap and out of place device to deliver the thoughts of the character though, he calls up a radio station and talks about his problems on air.

There are one or two kills that are alright I guess. It's an odd little film that hasn't aged too well but still has some interesting ideas.
