Martin (John Amplas), a young man who looks around 20-years-old, boards a train in Indianapolis, Indiana for New York. At night, he breaks into a sleeping car and sedates a woman with a syringe full of narcotics. She struggles, but he tells her not to struggle or be upset because she wont feel pain. After a few minutes, the woman falls asleep, and Martin has sex with the unconscious woman. Afterwards, he slices her wrists with a razor blade so he can drink her blood. The woman bleeds to death in her sleep.
In the morning, the train stops in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania where Martin disembarks. He is met by Tata Cuda (Lincoln Maazel) an elderly and hostile old man who claims to be his cousin from the Old World. Together, they travel by another train to the town of Braddock, a dying industrial suburb. They walk to Cuda's large house where he shows Martin his living quarters. Cuda then accuses Martin of being an 84-year-old vampire from his old country. He has taken in Martin because he is family, but tells him, "First I will save your soul. Then I shall destroy you." Martin denies being a vampire and implies that Cuda is merely his uncle rather than his cousin. Cuda then puts up strings of garlic on the doors to his and his granddaughter's room, and then holds up a small cross when Martin approaches him. Martin takes away the cross, and even takes a bite of the garlic mocking these attempts by saying bitterly, "There's no real magic... ever". Cuda tells Martin that he can come and go as he pleases. But he also warns Martin that he will kill him if he kills anyone in Braddock. He also tells Martin to stay away from his granddaughter Christine (Christine Forrest), whom arrives home from her job that evening.
Cuda introduces Christine to Martin, but also warns her to stay away from him. But Christine instead strikes up a friendship with Martin who confides in her about his vampire heritage. When Cuda later confirms Martin's claims to be a vampire, Christine, not surprisingly, refuses to believe either one. She thinks that Cuda and the other members of her family have driven Martin to insanity by making him think that he is a vampire. It is never revealed if Martin really is a vampire, or just a shy and lonely youth with troubled issues. Christine is the only person that Martin gets the courage to talk to. When Christine's boyfriend Arthur (Tom Savini) arrives at the house for dinner, Martin stops talking and backs away despite Arthur's attempt at a conversation. Christine later confides in Martin that she hopes to leave Braddock someday with Arthur, even though Martin points out that Arthur treats her badly and is both verbally and physically abusive towards her.
When Christine sees that Martin won't talk to anyone else, she buys him a phone which he installs in his room. Martin begins to repeatingly call a radio talk show where he describes what it's like to be a vampire. He becomes known on the radio as "the Count" to all the listeners. But the patronizing host (Michael Gornick) thinks he's just crazy.
Martin gets a job at Cuda's grocery store of stocking shelves, hauling boxes around, and even gets to be a delivery boy for some of the customers. One of his customers is a certain Abby Santini (Elyane Nadeau), who becomes taken in with Martin. She is a very friendly young woman who is depressed when she tells Martin that her husband is unfaithful. But Martin still does not have the nerve to talk with her, so she is happy to have someone to confide in with her life problems. Martin phones the radio show host to describe his infatuation with the housewife and senses that she wants to have sex with him. When the radio show host asks Martin if it is a sexual problem that he has involving women criticizing him during sex, Martin replies that he has never had sex with a woman who was awake.
One day, Martin travels by train to outside Braddock to look for victims. At a supermarket, he follows a young woman (Sarah Venable) home to her posh suburban house. He sees the woman's husband (Richard Rubenstein) leave for a long business trip, and Martin decides this would be the right time for more feeding. Martin returns to the house after dark and breaks in through the garage door. But it is Martin who gets the surprise when he bursts into her bedroom to find her in bed with her adulterous lover Lewis (Al Levitsky). After a vicious struggle, Martin jabs both of them with hyprodermic needles with narcotics, and waits for the drugs to take affect. He drags the unconscious body of Lewis from the house to a clump of trees across the street where he kills him by shoving a broken tree branch into his neck and drinks his blood. Martin returns to the house where he has sex with the unconscious woman. But out of compassion and pity, he decides to let her live.
Martin begins to have romantic monochrome visions of his vampire past (real or imagined), where he drained blood from a young woman and was chased through the streets of a nameless European town by a torch-lit mob.
During one Sunday at church, Cuda brings home Father Howard (George A. Romero) who asks him about the possibility of exorcism and demon possession. Father Howard calls upon the elderly Father Zulemans (Clifford Forrest, Jr.) over at Cuda's request. Together, Cuda and Zulemans confront Martin his bedroom and attempt to perform an exorcism on him. At this point, Martin remembers (another real or imaginary flashback), in the Old Country of people trying to perform an exorcism on him, and he flees them. Martin then flees from Cuda and Zuelmas as well. A little later that night, Martin terrorizes Cuda in a children's playground when he puts on a Dracula cape and puts false fangs into his mouth to pretend that he really is a vampire.
One day, Martin finally musters the courage to talk with Mrs. Santini during a routine delivery to her house where he tells her that he's aware of her attempts to seduce him and wants now to have sex with her. After having sex for the first time, Mrs. Santini becomes more depressed for she tells Martin that her husband just left her because she discovered that she cannot bear children, and that her desires towards him are based on sex and nothing else. But Martin wants to stay with her and help her move on with her life. Martin tells the radio show host about his affair with the housewife and that he no longer has the urge to attack other women.
Meanwhile, Arthur meets with Cuda and tells him that he wants Christine to leave town with him so they can get married and start a family. But Christine becomes angry at Cuda when he tells Arthur that insanity runs in their family and he shouldn't consider having children with her. Shortly afterwards, Christine packs up and leaves Braddock for New York with Arthur despite Martin telling her that Arthur is abusive towards her. But her mind is made up. Before leaving, Christine tells Martin that she really has no ill feelings towards him and just wants to make a fresh start with her life. She says goodbye to him and promises to write. But Martin knows that with an abusive and possessive man in Christine's life, she probably won't.
Depressed over losing his one true friend, Martin phones the radio show host and tells him that he's getting "shaky" and wants to go out looking for more victims. That night, Martin travels to a rough crime-ridden area of Pittsburgh and attacks two derelicts in a alley, injecting them with narcotics. He kills one of them by silting the bum's wrist and drinking his blood. Martin is about to kill the second one when a police car shows up and gives chase. Martin narrowly escapes during a long chase on foot which leads from the garbage strew streets and through a local store. Martin runs into an old warehouse where a drug deal is going down. A shootout between the two cops and the three thugs begins where all of them are killed, leaving Martin as the sole survivor who casually walks away from the carnage.
One day, Martin finds Mrs. Santini dead in her bathtub, after she had slit her writs with a razor blade. Martin anonymously calls the police to report the body and leaves. He phones the radio show host one final time to say that he really doesn't need friends or people to talk to for he is his own person. But when Cuda learns about Mrs. Santini's suicide, is mistakenly thinks Martin killed her and made it look like a suicide as he's done before. Cuda walks into Martin's room while he is asleep and kills him by hammering a wooden stake through Martin's heart.
Cuda buries Martin's body in his back garden, while over the closing credits various voices from people are heard talking to the radio show host asking the whereabouts of "the Count".
一直看漫威电影的人会比较满意，除开绯红女巫有点没跟上之前的人设，其余的都还不错
还是很佩服漫威的计划和统筹。以及山姆雷米不愧是你。
今天和Shinki 一起看的，中途快要睡着了
女巫设定真是mcu里打不死的bug，邻家版的奥妹实在太美了。
惊喜不少！卡特队长，黑蝠王，黑惊队等等…总体感觉就是太赶…其他不说…惊队居然被压死的…怎么可能…单挑灭霸的存在…感觉是为了时长随便安排她去死…听说改了又改…希望有导剪…
仅仅止于一些有趣的idea…然后恭喜二郎神加入漫威宇宙！
一直看漫威电影的人会比较满意，除开绯红女巫有点没跟上之前的人设，其余的都还不错
果然是导演的风格，旺达的形象确实杀人如麻。奇异博士远程控制丧尸奇的时候，百鬼噬身的特效如果是用来拍仙侠片就好了。
我最爱的旺达给塑造成这样，是真的想骂娘。然后花了270来看恐怖片，手里的可乐直接没喝，场景的切换太像b级片。可以接受漫威走不一样的路，但是能不能遵守基本法，旺达这动机根本经不起推敲。本片也算是复联4以后，也就疫情后最好看的漫威电影，但是在激动人心的部分，我承认蜘蛛侠3更好，尽管我没给好评它。打5⭐纯粹偏心旺达，奥妹从头到尾都在哭，旺达幻视里真刀人，但是奇异2里太太太离谱。
莫多: “我终于知道为啥在你的宇宙里我也那么讨厌你了~哼”
人活得久了真的什么都能见到，实在没想到有一天我会因为看了漫威而做噩梦……看之前还是哎呀归根到底漫威都是合家欢we're family 啦，看的时候：贞子爬出电视、丧尸追赶、魔鬼缠人、突如其来地冒头、直白地追杀超级英雄……我还是个孩子真的吃不消。导演不愧是拍恐怖片出身的，恐怖吊诡悬疑惊吓元素样样齐全，尤其是看着曾经如此理智慈祥的角色突然入魔，结结实实的心理阴影。虽说全片逻辑上有点乱，来不及认真解释便又赶去下一个场景，不过画面上和剧情独特性上面可以给个不错的分数，就是很好奇后面的电影如何衔接。
斯蒂芬對克莉絲汀的告白：我愛妳 不管在哪個宇宙我都愛妳
Wanda真的牛逼，只能自己劝自己死，剧情还可以，只是博士变二郎神我有点难以接受
不漫威的漫威，还挺好看的。疯狂了，多元宇宙了，yysy魔法对决还是得往隔壁hp看看，借鉴一下，总感觉前半场不尽人意。
女巫设定真是mcu里打不死的bug，邻家版的奥妹实在太美了。
Marvel的浪漫从未停止😭旺达固执，疯批，但还存有良知！
谢谢你 旺达 不论是黑化还是丧尸化都如此美丽
”I love you in every universe.”狠狠戳我
有被其中的惊悚元素和特效方面的ideas惊喜到 挺喜欢的
惊悚感可以的，非常喜欢，光照会玩的花，旺达做起反派来也太恐怖了，紧张刺激啊！爽就完了！
