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".
女主角就是个害人精over，还没那个大家都懂的台游吓人。有些地方渲染得挺恐怖的但你手持摄影晃来晃去我看不清啊！带着观众互动那一套倒是挺新鲜的，从贞子录像带到把这条消息转发五个群再到老铁们弹幕刷起来，我们真的相信传播的力量吗。被咒是增加恐怖感啊没想到因为这个被打低分，咋的如果电影最后说本片被开过光票房能破50亿？
哎作为伪纪录片真的不太合格，到处都是不知道哪儿来的摄影机，机位切换太频繁反倒让人出戏。从头到尾 jump scare 也不甚高级，只有开头还谈得上是不错的调度。结尾这么缺德真的不怕观众集体暴揍嘛
我真的好惊！看完头痛脖子痛，现在就想抹掉关于这部片的记忆。纠结视角和伪纪录的形式很可笑，这就是女主搜集到一切视角的素材，并剪辑而成，放给所有观众观看，并让所有观众分担诅咒的长视频啊！打破第四面墙可不仅仅存在于影片内部哦。她连佛母的脸都敢掀开，剪个片子帮佛母增加供奉也是小事一桩啦。
阿东作死的点那就太多了，又是拿符又是割封印还取佛母的小红布
今天是大黑佛母的生日🎉🎉🎉观看点赞并转发本视频给六个群的人有好运，赢q币，国庆节不上班😻😻😻绝对不骗你，我已经试了哦🤩😝😝
这片子拍得很好，但是恶意满满。是真正的恶意，不是开玩笑，也不是过分的恶作剧。导演用了很多视听语言和心理暗示技巧去达到他的目的。所以，直觉和现实都是：恶意满满。评分为大义。同情心理脆弱会受影响的观众们，祝福你们～～～P.S.能力越大，责任越大，给所有创作者。
世尊地藏！
豆瓣恐怖片分偏低，是观众鉴赏能力的问题？不，其实是观众对于这个类型作品中的创造力和开拓性，这两点有相当深的误解和歧视，例如《咒》中为了让观众身体力行体会被古老诅咒缠身的恐惧感，而创造的设定，并非很高级，但是是生效的，这部作品最大的问题是手持摄影的风格过于突出，削弱了电影感和作品质感，一种视觉呈现方式用过头了，会让人觉得视觉疲劳，而咒语本身的设定和某国文化层面的深度链接，反而是有趣的点，看电影而已，觉得晦气or被冒犯的，应该看看佛经、道家典籍，人没那么容易相信影视作品里的东西，如若不然你们每天看偶像剧，难道就成白富美、高富帅了吗，醒醒吧（继续装傻也无妨），脑子是个好东西。
结构比较混乱也没有很有趣，迷影到随处可见的前辈reference，ending前还要加插温情戏码，有些镜头的拍法也基本跟传统手持没有两样，为了剧情需要非要摆个可以拍4k的dv拍，也是不要太做作，这些都是束手束脚没放开的表现。
……感，感觉就是一种互联网麻瓜风俗，be like “今天是大黑佛母的生日，把这个视频转发到五个群，你就能获得好运”（下面放一行不透明度10%小字：哈哈，骗你们的，我只是想让更多人挡灾）再缺德一点就加一行黑体加粗红色“看见不转全家xx”
都尼玛看的盗版还觉得晦气 导演还觉得你们这群白嫖怪晦气
真尼玛晦气 导演家里人都被诅咒完了吧 影史恶心观众第一片 湾湾心里真扭曲
你有这个设定，不会写故事可以交给打越钢太郎啊！（
心疼制作组，心疼导演和演员，心疼恐怖片爱好者
当一部恐怖片已经被赋予更多互动和情感上的交流，未来不断手法的创新也随之到来
8.0分
最近几年的恐怖片都要搞一些结合直播/手机摄影/短视频伪纪录什么的，有点滥俗。拉观众入伙算是某种新创意但是过于粗暴以至于显得不是太地道。
3.5 鼓励 中式恐怖能拍这样挺好了 非大众题材但凡出圈必暴跌 前排这么多说晦气 难不成恐怖片给你拍成正能量？
不过比起所谓“晦气”的评价，我却觉得导演这一招相当妙，我甚至有些心甘情愿地分担诅咒。朵朵那些碎片化生活的记录，害怕怪物的若男想当一个好妈妈、医学无能的谢启明想当一个好“爸爸”，都狠狠地让我共情了。
故事拼凑，叙事稀烂，伪记录就跟学前班拍的，音效刺耳，无效废戏一堆，素人演技尴尬，整体给人很廉价的项目，《kb》起码还有冲突的视觉刺激交出，这玩意儿除了开篇抛出自视耐人寻味的视觉议题，就只剩下故弄玄虚和刻意的惊声尖叫来凑时长，从头到尾没觉被吓到，氛围营造的也很假掰，每个角色都要撞头了结，创意词穷，挖掘浅显，民俗文化流于表面，所有对这部电影的前期期待通通都落空了。★
