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".
看过的第500部中国电影？完成度不错，有细腻感情和丰满人物刻画的主旋律电影，质量放个次热门档期譬如五一应该没问题…不知道什么时候开始喜欢看激光高亮厅，180%亮度的大雪纷飞场景似乎很适配，不知道非高亮原片是什么感觉？开头有点像抗战版速度与激情，扒火车截粮食药品屡试不爽，临平站、鲁南铁道大队人物关系搭建完毕；满铁调查科上线之后遭遇挫败，掌柜的、万老板——小日本的称谓还挺入乡随俗，小护士协助避险、锄奸小插曲节奏有点慢下来；验枪员加入之后鸟枪换炮，终极任务炸军火专列来临，老王打酒传讯后扔手榴弹干掉尾巴那一幕帅爆了；结尾即高潮，谢幕之后（想象中）十二人车间重聚大合影泪目😭一部戏get范伟的演技，张也近几年主旋律参与得不少啊；感谢影厅没有提前开灯，静静听完刘德华先生《弹起心爱的土琵琶》真是一种享受！
实在不明白，堂堂二战胜利国、抗日战争抵抗了8年（14年）的胜利方、死伤几千万的战争，我们居然这么多年就拍不出一部能让人称道的影视作品，也是很奇怪了。哪怕就是失败方给军国主义借尸还魂的影片都比我们拍的强啊。再就是字幕那段配乐是红警玩多了么……
很典型的美国“电锯杀人狂”式的血浆片，离群索居的变态与一群年轻人。
22.5.25 有点意思 性、衰老和杀戮 看之前没想到能怎么表现两个老人的恐怖 看到开头也没想到这么点人能怎么杀 结果最后这两个点都还算满足了 中间一段温情交心片段还让我对毛片演员有了新的认识 结果转头就告诉你搞H就得死 然后这片子对老年人也有点不友好了
剧情比我想象的还要悲情。影片的色调偏冷，与故事背景的冷肃相辅相成。此外，动作的戏份较少。比较有看点的是范师傅演技的丰富。
这么熟悉的故事都能拍的这么难代入，到底是因为什么。人物写得扁平，这么厉害的演员都立体不起来。人物不行故事不可能写好，写不好故事何谈情感。类型片不能靠情感引发观众共情，就只剩下2个小时的无尽拖沓。
I don’t want to be horny anymore. I want to be happy. 谢谢你，A24
很平淡，很啰嗦，一个传奇文本被冗长的叙事拉坏了。
9，山东人的家乡滤镜加一星，艺术加工很多，虽然没有微山湖，但漫天大雪的肃杀感也很棒，尤其弹起我心爱的土琵琶一出我就哭的停不下来。整体感觉改编的像徐克的智取威虎山，最满意的是，既有一个完整条理的故事线，又尽可能的做到内容充实和流畅的人物塑造，尤其是使用狡猾凶残的敌人来展现战斗的惨烈，近乎团灭的结局，工业制作也是八佰级别的优秀（华谊和博纳的审美差距过于明显），主题曲真的燃，抗日类型片拍成这样我很满意了（小么哥表现很惊艳，和范伟张涵予放在一起都不逊色
也就范伟的表演可以看了，张涵予真的毫无演技，角色同质化，另一种形式的霸道总裁式英雄。
肃杀的雪天像极了《悬崖之上》，不过一到谍战片就下雪，有点审美疲劳。故事因为太过熟悉，情节改有点跳戏。范伟的表演的确可圈可点，但是因为他的小品总觉得有点搞笑。不过还是致敬铁道英雄们，他们为了反对日本侵略者，付出得太多，可歌可泣
可以7，质量还可以，高潮到结尾很到位，智斗不掉线，但前期节奏有点拖沓。范伟老师夸累了。
表面的一些工业化的东西让人看下去，内核里的东西让人看了跟没看一样。
前面还行，摄影不错，算得上抗日片里一股清流，后半段人物降智，剧情台词拉低整体观感。

看前面还以为像万能钥匙那样准备魂穿的，有点失望。之前还疑惑怎么就没有恐怖主题的色情片，看完就觉得，嗯，很戒色。
一开始是被营销号骗了的。全片看下来就差找《农夫的女儿》正片看了。一开始在色色之余惊悚氛围其实也还好，只是色色完了开始杀杀杀模式的时候突然发现就这？然后就一脸问号了。
华谊多久没有如此踏实的做电影了，真是一改创作颓势之作。编导演服化道全部在线，特别是音效，繁杂之间细致不混淆，难度和呈现效果丝毫不输多年前的《长江图》。作为范伟资深影迷，必须说一句这是金马影帝又一个里程碑，演技集中展现的代表作！除了影迷熟悉的插科打诨卑微草根的微表情，这次的大义凛然耍帅装酷也是信手拈来驾轻就熟的感觉啊！怒赞！张涵予出场的那身日本军官服跟小时候看的小人书里的那身衣服一模一样，中年男人一下回到少年了哈哈。故事基本在合理范围内，有些具体情节踏进神剧但可以接受（全靠那些神剧反衬）。恕俺孤陋寡闻，这位杨枫导演打哪冒出来的，这是多高的出发点啊！
合着我39块钱是他妈的全给了范伟是吧？那范伟老师片酬要是低了我建议把剧组集体拉出去枪毙，他妈的。
