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".
虽然梗不新鲜，但完成度挺好的，良心网大，风景秀丽，值得一看
居然还行。虽说各种拼接缝合吧，但完成度还可以，毕竟小制作。结局没有强行伟光正可以加一分。

还行，100万、14天拍成这样不错了。钱多些应该能更好。
在不同平行空间碰到不同的自己，和家人，虽然剧情会有一定似曾相识，但导演在这么低的成本下我在努力的好好讲故事，三个演员演技也都在线，最后电影结尾也没有落入轮回的俗套，给了一个好的结局。
故事讲的挺完整，演技上也不好再多苛求什么，但最大的问题在于太无趣
因为喜欢雷神的短视频，前不久刷到他说作品被美国买走版权了，赶紧过来看看。小成本制作，已经很不错了。故事也讲明白了，就是看上去还是会有些费解，逻辑上的。内核还是借鉴了彗星来的那一夜，但有自己的思考👍🏻
设定新奇，结局也给人以开放和遐想，小成本做到这样已经比所谓的概念大片强太多，还是多多支持鼓励
挺不错的，国产小成本佳作，值得鼓励，但故事性略欠缺，稍显单薄
恐怖游轮，彗星来的那一夜
首先，能以小成本拍出这样的逻辑闭环来就不应该得分这么低，四星表明我自己的态度，之所以不给五星是因为演员演技确实有些问题。剧情上来讲，最合理的解释是女主最终还是开枪给自己选了一个看上去最好的空间。多的我就不说了，很值得一看的好国产。
老雷导演的，土猛土猛的。作为国产科幻还是不错的，有“彗星”的的底子，剧情也容易理解，有个小遗憾，剧情在前半段女主自己说了一句“我们在平行空间里”，，，好像生怕观众没理解不买账一样，自己官宣，我们是科幻片，有看头的，哈哈（2021-48）
给人真的是眼前一亮的国产科幻悬疑片，以往的这种类型片都拍的一言难尽，但是作为一部低成本，全片只有三位主演的烧脑片，已经是很可以了，虽说剧情中间还是有逻辑不通的地方，不过能把这个故事顺理成章的讲完，也能让观众大体能看懂是怎么个意思，还有女主整个误入平行时空的心理变化过程，一切都值得看完后再推敲一下。总体来说，可以算是国产科幻悬疑小品佳作，值得看一下。
很有意思的小成本制作，剧本挺用心了。有几层惊喜，很难得——首先是看到自己（俗套），接着还能看到别人（多人穿越有点意思），然后回去了却又回不去（物理学逻辑链的涟漪），最后最了解的人却不是最合适的人（心理上猜疑链导致的涟漪），结果可能却只是弥留国（算开放结局）。
一看开头和电影名字，我就马上知道这部电影致敬了闪灵和恐怖游轮，果不其然，电影里的电视片段还致敬了《生态箱》？？
车祸开场，急救室，爆炸结尾，心跳停止。有点儿意思~
鼓励一下吧，小成本，演员表现也很有限。吸取了国外的悬疑电影的一些设定，做出来又能被外国认可的剧本。所以一开始向一号女主开枪的那个女的，是不是就是后来完美世界里那个女主呢？她好好的，啥也没干，被打晕了，然后开始闯别的世界，乱开枪……最后是不是她死了。如果这样那这个女的也太惨了。当然故事不一定必须是闭环，但是如果更清晰一些会更好。可惜我们现在只能在这样非常局限的范围里实现文化的交融互换。
国产版《彗星来的那一夜》+《恐怖游轮》 小成本 还是不错的
节奏太慢，人物有些动机过于离谱。不过演员的表演不错，很松弛。
电影的设定其实挺好，《彗星来的那一夜》外壳下的《恐怖游轮》。但是一些细枝末节和过于直白的揭开平行空间的概念还是难以让人进入状态，这女主跟领了剧本似的，一看到另外一个自己马上就说自己是不是到了平行空间也太直接了吧，我还是不太喜欢这种，和彗星来的那一夜不同，没有一层一层揭开谜底让观众有个情绪的缓冲，紧张感和悬疑感也几乎没有，大白话似的剧情，优秀的悬疑片应该是要有一个让观众思考猜测的过程的。
