How in the hell has Arrow or Scream Factory not scooped this one up for a decent Region 1 release? Arguably George A. Romero's best film outside of the Dead series, Martin is heavy on character and atmosphere. It's almost like a spiritual brother to Season of the Witch, another criminally overlooked piece by Romero. 9/10 My review
Thankfully, someone dumped it on YouTube, though I was able to scoop up this ridiculous set for $5:  If you can find it, it is certainly more cost effective than the single releases of Martin that go for anywhere between $50 and $250 on eBay. It's on its own disc and has all the special features of the stand-alone release (commentary, trailers, retrospective, etc.). Be warned though: some sets swap out Martin for the inferior Bruiser. I feel incredibly lucky to have tracked this sucker down.

I used to own a Region 2 copy of the film on DVD.
Definitely the strangest movie Romero ever directed.

If so, then yeah. It's a novel little gem alright. Would consider myself a fan. Martin is still definitely the more unusual of the two films though IMO.

Know nothing about it but the title though.

Arguably George A. Romero's best film outside of the Dead series, Arguably? I'd say pretty easily. In fact, for me it's even better than the Dead movies with the sole exception of Dawn.

Well, there's always Creepshow to take into consideration. And I find the original Dead films to be untouchable, but your mileage may vary and all that.
