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".
以蛾当成最终怪物还推荐还挺有新鲜感的。前面故事节奏太慢了。
【D+】现在连恶魔都开始讲究数学和物理，做驱魔人真是越来越不容易了。
盒子里的蛾子之神，上下半身反着来，喜欢用屁股吃人头。用活人献祭之后，可以为你治愈一切伤病（不知道能不能赐予荣华富贵，看起来貌似不能？）。随便搜搜看一个人说这是什么玛雅古神，对这方面没啥研究，感觉对这个东西造型设计还挺有意思的。他吃人之前会催眠人，而女主反抗了催眠，神就自己藏起来了，这意思是女主太牛逼了，获得了神的支配权吗？后来男主（？）被吃掉的时候为啥不催眠了哦，就硬生生吃了。
你以为是好人的，其实是恶人。你以为是坏的，结果都是在救人。人类的欲望啊，真的，有时候比传说中的恶魔还可怕。
现在的恐怖片只能要求故事讲好了吗，反正不吓人就是了，有新意，不过好看程度也一般般
窄门一入深似海，黄泉行走按顺序。
演技：8
还带换女主角的呢，前边大闺女多好啊，所有桥段都很刻意很匠气，多一星 给配乐
剧情还行，就是太简单，放在美剧里面40分钟都觉拖沓，更何况这是90分钟的电影。里面充满了各种插科打诨来拖时间
小男孩演的有点呆？可能就是人设吧，但是我不是很喜欢，但是总的还是不错的 支持！！！！
【2022-5-2】氛围感营造的还可以，宗教系恐怖略加分，怎么回事现在对恐怖片要求越来越低了只要没有离谱到搞笑的行为逻辑我好像都能包容…
看了解说，情节真是胡扯，演员们一本正经的搞迷信不笑场吗？烂片，浪费时间...
地窖满壁骷髅头，时不时陷黑黢黢。
比隔壁双生好看一点点，结局有一个人人都猜得到的反转
2颗星给怪物 很迷人 有点像暗黑4里的莉莉丝 比一些噱头片从头到尾没怪物出现的强了一点
6.5 （当中0.5给女一妹子加分），本来极其简单的故事，前面的铺陈冗长，尤其是非法偷渡的窘境显得不那么必要（当然也正是因为这这一大段的叙述使得角色本身更惹人怜爱）。最后十五分钟属于相对高能的加分项。当前：5.5 2021/10/25
furry羊头怪，圣斗士巨蟹座♋，13级台阶，san值归0，母爱伟大，大概就是这些要素了。在主角的视角，是一步步展开调查解决疑惑最终解开迷题，然而明白真相并不代表可以解决问题，甚至明白真相恰恰是最危险的时候，因为意味着悲剧可以再次重演，唯一的区别是中间有希望、挣扎和绝望的过程，恰如本片。在恶魔的视角，就是一段咒语，一个通道，一个目的地的自动化食粮制造机罢了。
电影说的太数学了，看得有点迷糊。也不恐怖，其实地狱里面，女主找女儿哪里，可以拍得多点时间。
【2022.07.26】没有什么亮点，普普通通，也不恐怖，剧情也一般般，这种题材也不新颖，很普通。
可能讲一下那个怪物的来源什么的会更好一些叭
