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".
属于看完不好意思标记的那种无脑解压片，成年人的guilty pleasure
老实说真远超于预期，但是依然是出影院走五分钟自降一星的那类片子。老贝想整vr摄影接轨新时代，但是基本是画蛇添足到了滥用成灾的地步，此外一个老牌商业片导演在剪辑上居然时而刻意时而混乱的像个实习生属实是没想到，一些挺起范儿的全景和推焦完全被充斥着游戏感和炫技感的废戏埋没。当然最大的问题是中期太拖沓，除了三主角以外几乎所有人物都是废的，尤其是警方两波。女主一枪和黑蝠鲼最后一枪其实十分狗血且略降智，但是全片尤其是后半程绝对拉满的紧张感缓解了不少。全程救护车三分地，把撞车对枪铺到极致，离开了巨物迷恋和cg人依然嗨的起来是绝对的优点。最重要的是在不知道哪部片子就要成为最后一次进电影院的当下，这部为银幕而生（但绝对不适合imax）的片子一定值得进影院。但与此同时它的结尾依旧难逃草率主旋律，引进也难逃删减。
颜值很可，尺度挺厉害的，剧情相当老套，我觉得电影里的乖乖女应该不是传统意义上的乖乖女。
怎么全世界的恋爱剧都是一样的男主设定 都有心理疾病啊。然后一遇见女主全好了😿
爆炸场面一如既往地导演风格，剧情后期兜不住底来一场大场面枪战然后草草收尾。
的故事
太难看呢。不知道在表达啥。没有铺垫，莫名其妙就爱上了。
整个职业生涯都让镜头充满荷尔蒙的卖拷贝这次返璞归真，决定把魔爪伸向了Heat和GTA，但明显能看出他绝对是激素紊乱了：无人机一通乱转，逻辑不知所云，单抢劫设计来看连给给他爱做支线都不配，但迈克尔·曼那套LA风光大赏和“邪不压正”的价值观倒学得有模有样，视觉上煞是好看；期间热闹非凡的躁动节奏感，总算让这桶爆米花没来得及变质。还有老吉啊，你为什么表演越来越向马克·沃尔伯格这种二愣子靠拢了…
啊啊啊啊好土好套路好傻不拉几的剧情哈哈哈哈。可是我好爱啊啊啊男主神颜啊神的肉体啊快来doi，一起doi啊啊啊啊超市我超市你淦
谢谢，我圆梦了。很玛丽苏。前半段展现肉体，后半段强调剧情。
除了ghs，这片也就没啥看点了…看来欧美意淫起来也比我们高不了哪去（另外简介里说女主不是傻白甜，我想说她的行为逻辑都不算蠢的话，那我也无话可说）
看这种青春片不能带脑子。ps：女主的肉腿让我印象深刻
西班牙版的after 连台词都差不多 怕不是也要出好几部
我觉得吧…这真是卖拷贝目前最好的一部了…撇开意料之中的结局，处理调度真的是叫一个顺滑…只可惜现在的观众对这种没IP的动作片没那么容易买账了，北美根本没人看，周末都能轻轻松松包场…全球票房估计都收不回成本…
看完全程都不知道这俩为什么突然船了，为什么突然爱了，可能爱情就是毫无道理吧，连wifi都能发展出一段要死要活的感情
设下了很多道德难题，尊重每一个作为人的个体，特别重要。
男女主不难看但是欠缺魅力没啥灵魂，看久腻烦，剧情虽土但不爽，本灰姑娘爱好者觉得辱灰姑娘，而且不够青春不够疼痛也不够艳丽，啥都不沾，看电影我基本不太会拉倍速，但这部值得。
迈克尔·贝新片，一部让人不适的电影。这种不适不是内容上的，而是拍摄技法上的，前段大量无人机第一视角加速推拉摇移三百六十度旋转，晃得人生理不适，中间车辆追逐戏以平均每三秒切一次镜头的速度在各种视点之间来回切换: 黑人男主，吉伦哈尔，FBI长官，FBI队长，女急救员，中枪警察，救护车主观视角，救护车远景，追逐车远景，直升机.拌以时不时的手持晃动感，这样的剪辑节奏持续了近一个小时，搭配上前面造成的眩晕感，让我睁不开眼。上一次这样的观影体验还是3D版《谍影重重5》。
一颗星给主演的颜值，一颗星给美好的肉体们，能看但是不能带脑子看。
本片属于正剧的剧情片，没有什么笑点，剧情也很老套，可是就有人吃这一套。
