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".
男主希腊神扮相很有感觉
爽，太爽了，几乎没有冗余拖沓无聊尴尬不必要的文戏，全程高能拉满，看的就是迈克尔贝的炸炸炸。某些导演，不擅长拍文戏就不要拍，爆炸就是艺术，炸就完事了
今年最佳的商业电影，这镜头调度才有在看电影的感觉，虽然故事是老套了一点。
PS：白人们请站起来共同谴责抗议反对这种越演越烈的白种歧视。。。╮(╯▽╰)╭
你说他们善良吧他们又去抢银行；你说他们不善良吧他们舍命救人质；你说他们关系好吧弟弟为了个人质干死了哥哥；你说他们关系不好吧哥哥为了弟弟拼死相救；看预告以为是双男主硬核警匪片，看完发现是个大女主“黑色喜剧”。卖拷贝日常爆破，摄影炫技，剧本风格混乱价值取向混乱：37场全胜械劫狂人老吉降智拉胯谜之操作，一干人等全是又当又立的圣母婊！扭曲人物强行说教简直恶心！
上一次看男主女主一凑近就呼哧带喘还是暮光之城，这回我以为男主就算不是个妖怪也得有啥绝症才会如此欲擒故纵若即若离反覆无常；结果他只是家风如此外加氯气过敏…
不用带脑子看的电影，选用几个高颜值的主角其实是非常明智的。
苍天啊。怎会如此难看。在卖拷贝蹩脚的指导下，老吉的演技无限趋近于0。女主是低配版的梅根福克斯吗？老男人果然一辈子都喜欢一个类型
不知所云 看不下去 虽然演员颜值很高 而且有、🥵 但是还是看不下去
不是很懂这个剧情 很俗 一星给性张力 一星给男主的造型
这就是个烂俗的爱情故事啊。女主不是傻白甜加一星
大银幕Dolby版。迈克尔贝回血失败。看得让人只想把迈克尔曼Heat里的街头交火翻出来洗洗眼睛。太累了，拼命的追求速度感和那些满屏的视觉污染物，熬得观众也气喘吁吁。还借角色之口提了两嘴自己辉煌时期的前作，就开场一个近似的表达去回想一下当年The Rock是什么样的吧，怎样的高效、声画处理和配乐又是怎样… 一声叹息，无力吐槽了。
天哪天哪天哪，被预告吸引过来，结果就是说，这是一部和《五十度黑》《之后》一模一样的玛丽苏…偏无脑…一言不合就xxoo的剧…
不用带脑子看的电影，选用几个高颜值的主角其实是非常明智的。
不为爱情倾尽所有的女孩，不因为爱情迷失自己的女孩最棒。
反英雄叙事，镜头极具动感，毕竟是冷清市场中还算不错的作品。似乎也给了电影本身“自救”的机遇。
现在的青春片痘是那么大尺度了吗？以为只是蜻蜓点水，猛的一下就脱光了吓到我😂我对青春片的记忆还停留在《足球尤物》《野孩子》《灰姑娘的手机》那么美好又纯情～哎～老了老了
找回了当年看变形金刚的感觉，也算一种爷青回吧。
以为是青春片，结果上高速。以为是19🈲️，结果男主的片段也只有个屁股蛋。以为是辛德瑞拉，但扭捏做作加跟踪这种桥段让人下头。（看的英文配音，和国语不一样哎，英配好自然像原音）
又臭又长，毫无逻辑，无脑洗白，三观不正……卖拷贝彻底放飞自我，一味追求新科技的视觉特效结果故事讲的细碎，最关键的是特效也不怎么样，毫无意义的手持晃的人晕
