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".
为什么友邻要费劲从各种角度屎里捡豆吃？SNL就该10min长度 Mark Rylance这个声色和吐字神烦！算是演技好？梅姨没啥意思 小李子长成猪了 还AIWF🙄 大表姐倒是有气场 A妹的歌好听 hill角色也神烦 主角眼睛都蓝得诡异 这种夸张讽刺一两句还好 两个半小时就很没用必要 四倍速快进都心疼我的硬盘损耗
不要抬头，现实里没有刷手机的快感，不要抬头，屏幕外没有你想要的答案。人们不再需要被理解只需要被看到，理性被情绪撕裂，贪婪将恐惧湮没，在最后的时刻一起走向毁灭。荒诞是现实而非效果，讽刺也只是结果不是目的，笑的时候千万别抬头，会流泪。
2021-2022跨年在家看的，挺有意思的，讽喻现实的荒诞喜剧，彗星撞地球也可以改成任何毁灭性的大灾难（比如疫情），不是技术上解决不了，而是权力、利益、贪婪等东西阻碍了问题的解决…最终导致人类的灭亡…（甜茶好可爱（看到和小李子睡了之后我才认出大魔王
还行吧~ 结合那死掉的 80 万人和最近两任总统来看，黑美国黑得很真实，不过中国不会在这种存亡任务上失败的。都经历了新冠疫情了，豆瓣上反贼恨国的还是这么多，好可怜。豆瓣啊，你们平台的大股东必死。
分两次看完的。印象最深的是那个将军去茶水间拿了水和零食然后charge他们几个一人10刀，太讽刺了，因为谁会想到一个将军会利用10刀和人玩权力的游戏呢？甜茶的演技我喜欢！大表姐的演技我也喜欢！小李演一个畏畏缩缩的大学教授竟然没有大亨味儿了，虽然中间一度又让他做大亨了。
看完只能说哇哦，原来把现实拍出来就成黑色幽默了，「我只想把事实说出来，怎么就成犯罪了」
吹哨人小李子和吹哨人大表姐的经历令人唏嘘，和平惯了的人们用戏谑的方式面对大型灾难，资本家眼里永远只有一样东西，政治随着资本发射或掉头，最后全世界只剩一个妈宝男人类。后疫情时代的反思，片名《不要抬头》可以“翻译”成《不要戴口罩》。起码国内还是会严肃对待，然而细菌的力量并不比彗星小，多活几百年是几百年。 看小李子再也不能带着当初舔颜的心情。幸好又有了甜茶，江山代有美人出。梅姨演总统太适合不过，那气质~那声线~大表姐的造型被吐槽龙纹身的女孩笑死。
真要来了，很有可能就这么娱乐至死。但电影还是有点太塑料了。
呱噪了两个半小时，最后看到地球毁灭这帮人灭亡，这部片终于让我有点开心了。。。：）
零嘴揩油，网络迷因，选举彩头，火箭英雄，利润至上，资本作秀，恐慌暴动，人民分裂，温馨躺平，太空移民，Jonah Hill 成最终赢家……将气候变暖置换成彗星撞地球的寓言，可以
随便看看还不错，傻乎乎但好真实，反正经历过新冠我现在觉得发生啥闹剧都不意外了，六个月算什么，这场闹剧可以演上两三年。
精英社会的反叛
还行吧~ 结合那死掉的 80 万人和最近两任总统来看，黑美国黑得很真实，不过中国不会在这种存亡任务上失败的。都经历了新冠疫情了，豆瓣上反贼恨国的还是这么多，好可怜。豆瓣啊，你们平台的大股东必死。
讽刺还蛮有趣的。加长版snl小品的感觉。但演员们表演真的一言难尽。我一直嫌弃小李子演技，但在这片子里他甚至都算是最好的。神一样演技的马克里朗斯贡献了演艺生涯最差表演。这片子能冲任何奥斯卡奖项都离谱，他坞赶紧完蛋。
比想象中好看，最后结尾堪称不负众望，竟然看出了一丝庄严
讽刺意味极强，简直是美丽国的照妖镜，导演也是太敢写敢拍了！
首先节奏非常紧凑明快，末世题材让悬念十足，表演有张力，娱乐度满分。其次，当你以为主要的矛盾，是讲真相的科学家，跟荒诞愚蠢的众生相的矛盾，比如满嘴谎话的政客，或是一切都娱乐至上的媒体等等，最终人们回归到了家庭和宗教，才能找到内心的平静。而最后一刻的爆炸，导演通过无数的漂浮物，揭示了真正的矛盾，就是所有纷繁的人类文明，在一颗外来彗星面前，毫无意义，这当中当然也包括了所谓的真相还是麻木，家庭还是影子政客，人类文明的一切，终归只是一只被喂肥的火鸡，等待圣诞节的到来。
讽刺意味极强，简直是美丽国的照妖镜，导演也是太敢写敢拍了！
堪称年度最失望电影，一流的卡司结果拍出来一部电视电影质感的“大片”，剧本粗糙到难以置信，喜剧效果和选题明显不相容，过度的讽刺只会让人反感，况且满屏的讽刺也仅仅是浮于表面，没有深意，演员方面，小李子又使出了一贯的咆哮式手法，吵得我都想帮导演喊cut；不过还是有一点做的挺好，电影在剧情的展现上没有因为过多的大牌而妥协，很多明星只是客串
可能是这两年的现实已经够荒诞了，作为一出政治讽刺片，看完居然也不觉得有多荒诞
