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".
毫无内涵的一般爽片，日常反派集体智商掉线导致最后全军覆没，逻辑硬伤太多。不过题材还算是正能量没忍心打一星而已
Darius解决
缩水版黑镜，普通的创意，普通的剧本，连反转都普通地那么普通...
上世纪侦探电影的变体罢了，未免太过老套。社交网络在现代电影里产生的作用越来越大，我总觉得这会对电影的质感产生影响。zoe真是头发越短越好看，太性感了
前面是高科技的互动，听到了一段犯罪录音，后面是匪徒追击女主被抓住，在被女主成功反杀。。。
I feel you Kimi…蓝色头发的确很难隐藏在人群中…
抑郁症一直都在我们身边，我们要互相帮助。
女主是处女座吧，哈哈哈～结尾可真是扣人心弦，好看得很！
kimi的老板也太菜了 明知送了女友一台kimi 不知道事后先删音频吗
哈哈哈，超喜欢这样的女孩哇，身材，颜值都是。
kimi的老板也太菜了 明知送了女友一台kimi 不知道事后先删音频吗
我很喜欢诶嘿嘿嘿我觉得女主出门那段，是焦虑症患者的写实
喜欢女主离开公寓的几场戏的不规则构图，带劲～
前20分钟感觉好拖沓 一度差点关掉电影lol 直到后续女主被追赶 抗议者救女主好刺激哇！结尾反转酷呆了~
可能因为故事发展比较老套，没有很喜欢。科技恐怖那一部分能get到，但对这一方面我已经摆烂了，就也没有太多感触，毕竟我现在很少经营互联网形象，也不怎么关注咨询，只干一些聊天打游戏看电影的事，作为工具它只要不跳脸，我都无所谓。足不出户这一部分我倒是完美复刻，社交关系越来越贫瘠，但目前并不感到困扰。看的时候在考虑把之前的网络迷踪也补一补。
“后窗”、“放大”、桌面电影、疫情、AI、女性相助、现代人心理障碍...迷影梗也好，当下热点也好，这么多元素堆砌，但剧作实际上很单薄。
我也不知道为啥，八成是因为我的刻板偏见，这女主上来就让我讨厌，甚至到最后被恶人抓住时我也讨厌。影片节奏比较慢，前面30分钟与主线的犯罪故事关系不大，都在介绍女主的人群社交恐惧症，展现女孩怕出门+KIMI的智能化，智能化这部分和同步的另一部影片《支离破碎》相同，都是人工智能系统帮助主人对抗闯进家里的坏人。不过我还是更喜欢《支离破碎》，因为佐伊的容貌比《支》的两位女主差远了，而且关键是这个犯罪故事有点确实稍显无聊！我给3星6.3分，删掉了！
不知從何說起⋯ 我100%為了zoe kravitz看的這部片子⋯ 但依然不明白這個導演是怎麼說服各路清高藝人去演他那些並不well executed的電影的🙂 細節loose ends 都不tie 張力幾乎沒有 還有這些莫名弱雞的hitmen是怎麼回事啊 brad一開始的conflict的故事線也完全沒講清楚或給予任何significance 或者最後說到底連social commentary都弱爆惹 更不要說配角全是紙片角色 hbo you are better than this 說到之後決定把三星改成兩星
别相信天猫精灵。。。故事讲的完整，细节也挺到位的。。。
看过最短频快的电影，我已在这一个半小时爱上女主
