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".
不理解为啥大家在如此生死攸关的时刻却都要B哧个没完。 让个一会就死的人理解你的人生意义爱恨情仇，再看看你最酷造型儿就这么重要吗？看得我着急死了。
这是部空间较小、戏剧性很强的影片，当成舞台剧演也没问题。整体说，故事很集中、流畅，悬疑感也很强，人物个性非常鲜明。黑人女主给人耳目一新之感，虽然有点稚嫩，但挺有气质，比较硬气、勇敢，也有些机智聪明，与大牌一起表演并不逊色。
看完也好想去度假啊，好美好悠闲，一开始以为是夫妻俩然后还很生气这种行为，后来才知道是姐弟，那就一切ok了，自己选择自己舒服的人生过活，再后面应该是知道自己癌症了吧，这个日落虽美但让人悲伤，就感觉一切到头了，有点丧。
小制作的小空间动作片，整体感觉还不错，节奏感和流畅度不至于让人打瞌睡，一环套一环，有几个反转还不错，只是杀手杰拉德被诈骗犯机枪扫射后竟然回头反杀有点神奇，女主中了两枪被抢救后还能抛弃队友带伤孤身追击也牵强，开放式结尾很有趣。
还不错，近一两个月来唯一能看下来的电影，但是我就想知道毒蘑菇事件，罗圈腿男主具体怎么操作？
头尾照应的两句“也要当胜者”挺戳人的，听了确是会喷咖啡。不景气下的年轻人
结局有点儿平淡，完全没有反转，电影讲的是一个误会引起的复仇故事，女主确实挺惨，家人一个个死去自己最后选择自我了断，唯一的妹妹嫁给了害死家人的凶手，电影的很多细节很粗糙，故事结构很简单，作为惊悚电影来讲，这部电影确实和惊悚没啥关系，就只是一个平淡的故事罢了
黑岛结菜很美，几个月前被接吻场景骗来看，总的来说不太好看
当一个富二代从厌倦了富人的生活开始到放弃了令人羡慕的富人生活，看似表面毫无波澜的情绪之下，是对这个时代的厌恶
提线者几无动作的木偶戏，专心于摆出空洞僵硬的pose，偶尔植入jump scare般的情节或场面增添几分滑稽。非常罕见的电影。真的希望有高人能讲好。
有种模仿盖里奇的感觉，但剧本不够精彩、人物不够特色、导演能力也有限，撑不起来。就算话痨片也有好看与不好看之分，这部属于话痨都话不起来那种
标题太具有误导性了，应该叫：社畜的真实人生。两位主演有点拉胯，笑与泪都很虚浮，情感转折也显得生硬。日本也有这么无趣的电影啊。
它仅仅是一支平平无奇的笔，但它被一次又一次的换上崭新的墨囊，重焕新的生命，它看似平淡无奇，但它却被成百上千的人用它那拙劣粗糙的笔尖去抒发那令人多愁善感的百变情绪。——心翼文学社·王婧
回过头来才意识到原来男主就是当代有钱人版默尔索，Tim Roth表演到位，但导演的表达功力比加缪差太多了，过程既然已经放弃了一切解释，结尾给虚无赋予缘由就实在有些多此一举。中段因为不解释而强行制造出的悬疑和反转唯一的作用就是分散观众注意力，如果导演想拍的是局外人，那这部电影无疑是失败的
打不死的老家伙，喋喋不休的各种人，小偷小摸的好人和变态话痨杀手，所以是一部西部片，最后的燃烧镜头都是PS的，好假。
妳给他看的 他摸妳的时候 本可以避开
以为是貌合神离的夫妻，正准备说诡计多端的男人（海上啤酒摊版），竟然真的是sister。放弃名利的原因还是知道自己时日无多吧，在海边找到了平静，真是和1900一样沉默，急死个人。2022.7.17
地狱不需要降临，本就身处地狱，何来会被业火烧到一说。
标题太具有误导性了，应该叫：社畜的真实人生。两位主演有点拉胯，笑与泪都很虚浮，情感转折也显得生硬。日本也有这么无趣的电影啊。
一个女孩被作家性骚扰，作家老婆知道后疯了弄死了自己女儿，最后自杀。作家把一切迁怒在女孩身上，杀光了女孩全家（只剩女孩和她妹妹（妹妹和作家女儿同龄？），最后女孩为保护妹妹在作家面前跳楼死了，结局妹妹和作家在一起了。电影没说明作家怎么杀死其他人的（或者说是他们遭天谴？）,看不太懂想表达什么。性骚扰毕竟是事实。
