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".
女主是海王兼马王的继女，虽然海王和她妈已离婚。这是带资进组量身打造的戏吧……很无聊，故弄玄虚，最后女主一个出门恐惧症兼抑郁症患者突然冷静到身手如职业杀手般，秀尼玛。而且造型太像这个杀手不太冷里的娜塔丽波特曼，虽然染蓝了。多一星给她的大公寓，是我喜欢的户型。
比想象中好，前部女主角色塑造到位，镜头角度有力，看到coinbase发出会心一笑😂
很好看啊，作为惊悚片虽然故事很套路很简单，但自然地加入了许多属于这个时代的元素，并且一些小段落中还包含着导演技法上和主题上的巧思，比如社恐女主在追逐段落的边角构图和倾斜构图，比如隔着窗户窥视别人“生活”与翻看别人社交网络的对应（btw，我会有住到主角这么大的房子的那一天吗😭
确实不是大制作的片子，不过剧本很好，节奏感也很好
就女主与自己的过去和解了，在kimi的帮助下，可以这么说吗……
三星半，开场以为是个安东尼奥尼“放大”式的悬疑加哲学片，看到三分之一时才发现不是这么回事。不过没关系，镜头调度把主要人物的怪异感表现得淋漓尽致，后窗的致敬也不落窠臼，同是无法避免被窥视的命运，有些窥视成了遇害后留下的线索，有些窥视与追踪成了追杀的工具，而另一些反而变成救命的机会。女主脆弱的心理状态，又何尝不是想通过救她人，来拯救受伤的自我呢。最后，数据标注员在纽约住那样的大房子，这个设定实在是太随便了。
继《智齿》之后又一部带着牙疼。 Kimi，一部疫情背景下掺杂着高科技人工智能的电影，看到了《后窗》影子，故事情节紧凑，吊打《门锁》。总结：钉枪真帅
女性主义电影，索德伯格对电影氛围的塑造极为出色，剧本也很好，结局的反转出人意料，整个片子十分完整。
听了个社会新闻一琢磨就弄个后窗高科技版的感觉，创作估计耗时半小时，索德伯格已经多年作品在及格线徘徊了，一直是很有想法的导演镜头运用也很有个人特色，但近几年一直给人在糊弄的感觉，比起年纪大的多更爱惜羽毛的导演该长长心了。。。
关于 covid 和 wfh 的一些设定太投机取巧了，后面的正面冲突像是儿戏
女主真的好美好酷，剧情有点老套，但结局还是很帅的
女程序员的魅力……在家办公的程序员真是我梦想的工作，几次追逐戏拍得酣畅淋漓，还有女主的广场人群恐惧症都表现得让人身临其境非常真实，高科技部分比如人工智能以及黑客对个人隐私数据、定位的获取和程序员工作等等都拍得接地气具体细致，甚至女主代码写作的过程都出现了，一方面让人感受到高科技和数据的神奇魅力，一方面不像其他科幻电影拍得高大上神乎其神却让人摸不着头脑具体黑客是怎么操作的，非常喜欢，另外女主的性格强势机智冷静，简直是我这个社恐的榜样。

新冠爆发老子在家办公将近两个月之后出门/乘坐公共密闭交通工具确实有过一段时间障碍感同身受😔
索德伯格新小成本高科技电影 星二代美眉 从日常监控工作发现蛛丝马迹 克服出门恐惧症勇斗犯罪分子✧٩(ˊωˋ*)و✧
很普通，集所有普通之大成。普通的故事：互联网从业者捕获前端音频数据被卷入谋杀案，强烈的正义感战胜自身的广场恐惧症出手搭救，虽说为迟已晚，好歹一桩大案要案宣布告破。故事的内核很工整，一方面是主角战胜了自我，另一方面为宅男宅女正名，宣告关键时刻死宅们都会作出对的选择，并特此提出表彰。观念当然是对的，但太普通，电影库中有无数个战胜某种精神障碍的故事。普通的人物设定：太普通了，因片名及涉及人工智能的高科技要素，观众会误以为再怎样也该是一部高智商片，比如每个人都特效加持、都是推进剧情不可或缺的一环，显然编剧的智力没办法高于角色智力，所有角色在叙事中的协同性和必要性都极其薄弱，让人觉得索然寡味，连看漫威人物神奇法力的期待都没有被满足。剪辑也很普通，普通到会认为剪辑师根本没动脑子。幸亏自己家看电影不花钱。
开场即是“灵魂三问”：我是谁？我从哪里来？我要到哪里去？非常出色的将“灵魂寄居者”的整体悬疑氛围铺陈了出来。其后格局渐小，3次用开挂式的上身反杀桥段进行反转，从悬疑+奇幻沦为常规犯罪动作片，最后落子战无不胜真爱无敌 -- “为什么所有人都抢着要救你？”
88/100 多好看的小片呀！索德伯格当之无愧是类型大师！人物之间扑朔迷离的关系，追逐戏手持镜头的使用，反杀时的快感，一种紧张的节奏，绝对是一顶一的作者电影
人工智能普及的时代，新冠病毒隔离时代，这电影把握了最新的元素。
太拖沓了，也就是个短片的体量，华点只有最后10分钟
