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".
这部片可能是春节档里最大的遗珠，排片也太过于低调了。起早8:20档，包场看完。“镖局”“国画”“武侠”“虎年元素”组成的冒险故事，满满的江湖风，有笑有泪又很燃，boss有反转，细节和包袱很足。第一次发现“神奇拖后腿”是个好词，回想就觉得好笑。很值得亲子观看！
希望是一种错觉
女主这方也太穷酸了吧，连雪地迷彩服都穿不起么
网飞真棒！！！！是部好电影！！！比烂长津湖好看太多了！！！！！！！
全片都在穿越冰面，女主开始是为了女儿运送病毒，最后也是为了女儿毁掉病毒，但也没交代女儿是被谁抢走的啊，她怎么就成了个军人了啊，还这么厉害的军人。也不惊悚，也不悬疑，也没啥动作…
氛围感很好，角度很新。可惜有些情节上的问题和烂尾。女主突然转变也很生硬。
剧情的编排真心是有点乱的，就如同这小虎墩，大英雄，没看到！
没想象中的那么爽，冰面穿行，虽然比步行快点，但是没有掩体啊。 末日了都，还两派斗争，我还以为要打外星螃蟹呢！
2军官+4平民士兵滑冰越过海面去运输武器，女指挥官刚上路就淹死在冰洞里，眼镜男被老百姓打死，光头中枪受重伤然后自杀，这时发现任务是去投放生化武器，男副指挥官拿着生武先跑了，狙击手和女主被包围后杀光敌人，狙击手被自己手雷炸死，女主中枪，后追上想销毁生武的男副指，重伤男副指后抢到生武，然后被目的地的友军救助，女主这时又想销毁生武，和男副指一起抢到生武，自己用手类和生武一起同归于尽了。公道点说，这片子5.8分低了，但这片子确实不够7分以上，因为剧情确实说不上精彩，也不算好看，看一遍就行了！我给3星6.5分，删掉了！
豆瓣里文艺婊越来越多了，这样的战争影片至少应该打个3.5星（7.0分左右）吧。有场面、有剧情、节奏也比较紧凑，没什么大漏洞，还是可以看看的
摄影很有视觉张力，浅蓝+暗灰调色以及氛围渲染隔着屏幕都能感受到的空旷寒冷，这是个人喜欢的点。但剧情简单，中规中矩（女主的自私也不掖着，直接摊牌，很蠢就是了）感觉xx行动、xx营救大多都是一贯的套路手法，没什么新的点…但毕竟都网飞了，无脑爽就行，还要什么自行车？
导演真的不行吧，速滑运动员的背景完全没提过啊？既然终点能打过来，为啥让几个士兵自杀行动来这里？带的病毒又没用，为啥说靠他们打下了终点？
故事的主题太过单薄，但是在冰海上滑冰突击这样的创意点子还蛮新颖的
听说女儿人在基地，什么勾吧人类，亡不亡的关老娘屁事！
人设不错，世界观有瑕疵但单场可以看，剧情是真的。。。动画片还是希望在剧情上多下点功夫
三星半，半星给小队出发时，远离战火滑向黑暗的冰面那种美感和期待。
也还好，故事简单，对待战争死亡的刻画也很到位，活着并不是得到自由。
有点尬的动作戏，但是总算不是什么爹亲娘爱惯宝宝了
唯一值得夸的是，树立一个新IP，没有蹭神话。
如果结尾停在冰面迷雾里，戛然而止，更有意味...
