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".
仇男气息浓郁的食人魔类型片。
三星半。作为爽片来说很有诚意，但是爽片终归是爽片。整体桥段很像逃出绝命镇，放在各个配角身上的隐喻也很真实，不过粗糙感明显，形式比内容好，最后20分钟很爽但也很蠢。前20分钟完美，基本上perfect date只能来自于想吃你的人。
总觉得故事没讲完…那个黑人难得一见的反恐怖片套路哈哈
半小时后出字幕，导演太能铺垫情节了！无血腥无暴力无情色！男主最后还是被勃起的海绵体害了，冬兵还是未参透“色字头上一把刀”！建议导演去看看港片《人肉叉烧包》，省的浪费观众时间！
穿过寒冬我们都会拥抱彼此，很温情的一部电影。爷爷奶奶和贾玲朱一龙这两对太甜了，全程姨母笑，看得人好想谈恋爱吧！
2022年第95部：四五千的投影仪都拯救不了昏昏欲睡的我，完全没爽到。女主都被切了屁股坐着不痛吗😅😅😅
煽情得还能再刻意一点吗，剧情还能再突兀一点吗，引起共情全靠bgm，该讲的点很生硬在捶打呐喊。这能称之为一个电影作品吗，就是粗制的电视剧都比这个有逻辑有内容吧！
太浪费时间了，在电影院里疯狂后悔，我干嘛要来看这个？真是吃撑了有点。
我特么啥玩意儿啊，最后还以为能有个大boss，白铺垫半天。PS：无漏点，不用等。
预告8分，正片开始也不错。然后就好无聊。沉默的羔羊+生吃 低配。最后找手机残血战已经睡着。was married保住5分。
剧本有点粗糙了，更早有一部优秀的同类片，叫水果硬糖
政治非常正确的一部电影。挺好看的，反杀部分很爽，尤其是杀女反派的时候说，就是因为有你这种人，我们才这么艰难。girls help girls. 然后男酒保逃跑是想说明男的都靠不住么，哈哈，导演还蛮女权的
看完电影平复了好久，前面压抑了好久努力不哭出声，结果片尾叶老师的背影一出来，真的绷不住了，2021年的最后一天，哭过了也笑过了，疫情打不倒的是真情，穿过了寒冬，未来的日子是春暖花开，我们的福气在后头呢。
比生吃好看，女主也好看，就是妻子那一趴到底是什么乱七八糟？
都2022年了，女主用的手机怎么还有home键呢？
致敬武汉那个最残酷、最寒冷的冬天，奋斗在一线的抗疫情人员！致敬最可爱的医生护士、志愿者、其他工作人员！愿这些美好的人平安健康喜乐一辈子！叶子杨老师最后的微笑太美好，周冬雨饰演的乐观开朗的抗疫情小护士，实在是太棒了！贾玲演的武哥贡献了很多幽默的点，勇哥也很伟大。好电影，温暖人心。
虽然是女性导演 也刻意回避了出卖肉体和血浆的传统b级复仇片 试图通过受害者女性角度来描写女性强大韧性的内心 可以随意操控感情但又不轻易发动技能的隐忍 最后的反杀节奏和镜头拍的还算精彩没有掉链子 都整体下来给人感觉是好像有很多内容但又什么都没说
好喜欢那对老年人情侣，不管什么年龄，只要有爱就每天都是浪漫的情人节，剩下的岁月不多了，所以每天都想见你，和你一起吃每一餐饭。武哥和叶老师双向奔赴的爱好甜蜜，互相关心时时惦记对方。电影里有欢乐也有很多泪点，带好纸巾和新的口罩，湿口罩糊在脸上还挺难受的
就会消融你头上的云涛……
3.5分，强行尬哭，隔靴搔痒。
