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".
其中的道理经得起时间考验，但作为一部影视作品，观赏性就明显不足够了。两星。
恐怖没感觉到，只是这片子的口味有点重，有些镜头看了有点恶心，北欧人的思维和口味果然不太一样。影片里面有不少隐喻，关于家庭成员和成员之间关系的隐喻，爸爸和儿子是没有存在感的，主要是妈妈这个令我作呕的女人跟女儿的戏份多，妈妈的欲望和愿望必须得到满足，女儿只是她个人的宠物，利用女儿来满足自己没有达成愿望，至于爱，那是不存在的。我不喜欢这种隐喻影片，所谓的恐怖是靠琢磨妈妈的人性想出来的，至于鸟人，没有恐怖只有恶心。我给3星5.8分，删掉！
母亲角色的设定非常割裂，印出来女儿的孵化也是合情合理了。家庭关系的畸形变化，最后异化生物占据主体，也是看开头知结尾的地方了。。
郑渊洁童话yyds
整部电影凝练紧凑，90分钟没有多余的场景和对话；小演员的表现非常出色，仿佛看到一个未来影后的诞生；结局有些生硬，但就像电影的每个情节设计一样，它的不可预测性让人感到惊讶。
从《群鸟》到《孵化》，鸟是最黑暗恐怖的意象。
郑渊洁童话拍成电影就没有其他人什么事了，童年的梦想。。。尤其后期那些，生化保姆病毒集中营 之类
是什么支撑我看完了这部电影……是母爱🥲人物太过脸谱化了吧。
北欧这类风格的恐怖片可以统一叫做字面意义的“白色恐怖”了，直面的都是现代社会最日常的议题。嗯不过，看的时候总会想，得亏你们这些国家福利制度完善，这点压力就……
以后真的要彻底黑名单北欧国家的恐怖片，这什么丑不拉几的丑东西。另外，爸爸挺菜的嘿嘿
50/100 以母女关系为切入点，对和谐的家庭关系下暗流涌动的危机做解剖和演变，女儿最终在母亲的严苛之下完成了毁灭，取而代之的是邪恶异化变体的重生。但整体来看，高开都没做到，也就中开低走吧，过度的反差感淹没了应有的神秘气质
爸爸的形象深得我心，是我的榜样了可以说是，
北欧有鸟，其名为鸦，化而为人，可取而代之。鸟人可怕，但比鸟人更可怕的，是抖音女皇妈妈，极端表演型人格的背后，是极度自私，如果能博得粉丝一赞，她能生吃了自己女儿
有点玄乎，堆砌恐怖元素的片子，比较无聊。个人理解是蛋是长期被伪装成幸福家庭女孩内心的恶意冲动。负面情绪不断堆积，孵化出"恶"的自己。最终她发现还是当个恶人开心所以恶意的自己杀死了善的自己。
下载和远晴一起看的，虽然没看过原作，但是魔方大厦还是不可磨灭的，小演员们选的都挺好，远晴说反派小女生像马尔福哈哈哈哈哈哈，爸爸妈妈和鲁西西的对话也很有现实感，不错！就是最后灭火太假了！顺利偷走了皮皮鲁的直升机哈哈哈哈 最后郑渊洁还露一小脸~
谷阿莫难得的一边讲一边分析，因为鸟人有可能是真的，也有可能是女孩精神分裂的表现。
非常优秀！母亲，女儿和鸟怪三元对立，互相“孵化”，互相“戕害”，直到最后“鸟人”的站立和狞视真是令人拍手称快，比“咩咩咩”好看太多了，谁不喜欢“阴暗面”呢？！
没有任何意义和内涵的片子，是不是源自北欧神话?就是一只修仙的乌鸦，想变成人形，放弃自己的鸟身，先变成了蛋，然后哪个人孵化它，它就变成那个人的样子！
2倍速看的，还可以。故事很简单，象征意味＞剧情。
为了满足自己的一己之欲，做出各种令人反感的事情，真的吐了。
