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".

我们是同一个人分饰的两个角色，新身会带着旧蜕的愿望爱着家人，尤其是孩子
num num！好久没笑得这么开心又爽又high了！年度最佳商业片！应有尽有还“ZZ正确”鲨萌，队长行走的荷尔蒙，波点男形象树立地太成功！rats the lowest and most despised slay! Harley Quinn负责美美的
片中从建筑到汽车以至虚拟显示屏的UI界面全部走了极简设计路线，很漂亮。
挺好的片，DC最好的电影之一，可惜走的是漫威的插科打诨路线，跟死侍差不多的味道，不过毕竟是个好片，是好片就行了。
故事三星，阿里的表演加一星。将死之人的愿望，能够让最爱的人不必面对自己离去的巨大痛苦，由另一个“我”继续守护她们。阿里几乎要超越丹佐，成为我最喜欢的少数族裔男演员了，这个表演是绝对可以拿奖的水准。
我再也不想看任何口碑爆了的超英片了
剧情设定和镜头语言将影片的黑色暴力处理得非常荒诞、幽默。几位角色特点鲜明、深入人心。
作为科幻的创意不算新鲜，但故事重点更多在人文情怀。这类未来科技走进平常人生活的故事相比前些年已经大量淡化了惊悚元素、更多以理性的态度来探讨科技的影响，可以说未来即是现在。
不得不承认，Apple+的质感是极好的！
钱花在刀刃上的小成本制作？科技的融入是无微不至的，极简的设计等我感觉是这部片出彩的地方，世外桃源般的大自然景观果然很清心寡欲，可能还疗愈？除此之外的故事可真是一句话就能概括，也挺难激起深刻的共鸣。
There is as much heart as heartlessness in this
哈哈哈，我和我妈一起看的，我妈的反应太能代表对这部电影的评价了：一边爆笑，一边说太恶心了，什么玩意。沙雕也是一种才华，一种颠覆预判，创造反差的想象力，哈哈哈。电影一直在讽刺美国，不知道美国观众看后作何感想。疯批美人的人设太有魅力了。想不到在一群有心理阴影的超级英雄里也有正邪之分，最后还能讴歌出捕鼠者感人的父女之情、弱小的老鼠团结打败派大星的正能量来，佩服佩服！
前有老鼠拯救漫威（复联四），现有老鼠拯救DC，妙啊
【4星半】苹果出品属实高逼格，第一次感受到软科幻还能具有如此化骨绵柔的魄力，原主和克隆者已不再是“真”与“假”，或者“真相”与“欺骗”这样简单的属性，而是代表着“爱”与“替代去爱，永恒地爱所爱之人”，一次非常温柔安静的意识沉浸，感谢阿里、格伦和奥卡菲娜，以及这个异常魅力的故事。
但也没有太过敏感的人
双份小金人和两个陪跑人。苹果一套房产家装VR软广放完湾区白左已经把中介电话打爆，但这种典型iTunes同步效率就是求着病友后悔然后省略一万种硬科悖论剧情，然而稍微波折一下绿光森林依然迈向小资相信爱情结束搔得极痒
洗脑片，为明显存在道德问题的科技应用做意识形态的铺路，看不明白么？
今时今日如果再单纯讲述克隆人是独立个体——即便带着原型的全部记忆——已毫无新意，于是本片将这一并不新鲜的设定嫁接到了个体为家庭奉献的美国中产核心价值观上，拍出了新意。
死亡，是困扰了人类数千年的难题，绕不过，躲不了。克隆技术的日渐成熟和意识移植的大开脑洞，使得人类有了永生的可能，这也闯入了上帝的禁区，一个DNA跟你完全一样，意识和记忆也跟你完全一样的人，还究竟是不是你？你是否愿意让他代替你陪在你最爱的人身旁？
