Those wonderful and passionate film-lovers over at Second Sight Films have just dropped their first limited edition release of 2023, and boy is it another doozy. Shot in ‘76, Martin was George A. Romero’s fifth – and personal favourite – film, and makes its debut on 4K UHD with this stunning release. Crafted with Second Sight’s usual love, this beautiful release boasts the cult classic film looking better than it ever has before, along with oodles of supplemental features and an absolutely stuffed 108 page booklet. This is another magnificent title in Second Sight’s ever-growing catalogue, and is an essential purchase for any horror fan. With releases of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre and Picnic at Hanging Rock still to come, 2023 could be Second Sight’s best year yet – and that’s saying something.
Synopsis
