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".
就冲大爷对狗狗的爱，心眼儿就坏不到哪去。亲情不只是血缘关系才算。我就不多剧透了，最后大爷的忏悔让电影升华到了一个新高度。愣是给我看哭了。
是我对十来岁小女孩期待过高了。还以为会老少配合大杀特杀杀得片甲不留。狗子好好
大大丧失了第一部里的窒息感，本质上是戒毒宣传片。
又一条狗引发的惨案 爱狗人士狂欢
小女孩也好狠，手铐那段让我想起了《黑暗倾袭2》的片段...
没看出来传奇，可能人生就是没那么多戏剧化。
节奏这么这么温吞吞，故事走向又这么迷惑，实在有点浪费时间。
刚看完今年Super Bowl公羊夺冠，顺便看下Kurt Warner这个草根逆袭的励志电影。之前正好看过早安美国采访本人和主演，知道这部电影75%谈的是爱情亲情家庭和生活的挣扎，25%是球场上的比赛故事，想看橄榄球的直接去找比赛集锦就好了，这部电影更多是讲述这样一个从Supermarket走到Super Bowl的传奇四分卫故事。
PS：雪中奔跑送油去车的那一段真的好emo看得，镜头很漂亮。
要是我是那小女孩，就把那两个爹都撒了潇洒过日子。。。跟第一部没啥关系，但我还是学到了不少有用的，我觉得这几天我会特别特别喜欢看恐怖片，真得上瘾。
It would've been a vintage cliche until it was an amazingly true story. The last player that won MVP and Super Bowl in the same season.
电影也就还行吧，打五星是因为是华纳对大本的超级碗43让我爱上了橄榄球
6.8
好愛喔，跟前作相關性只有主角設定跟拍攝手法略同而已，但從恐怖爹地轉型為最強老爸系列大概是因為第一集的評價吧，一些內容還是扭曲的，推進方法也很天真浪漫尤其水波戲太美了但不合情理，狗狗好讚我就推，會有3嗎彩蛋明顯不說死是史蒂芬老爹回歸我就看
6.0(5⃣️)，意义不明的强行续集，不仅和第一部彻底脱离了关系，声效营造的惊悚氛围也几近流失。暴力和血腥桥段的力度都不够，没有屏住呼吸的紧张感的加持只能看个普通犯罪动作电影的复仇快感。无论情节上怎么往违背道德的方向设定，复仇反杀始终不能展现出该有的爽劲。也就Phoenix躲避绑匪在房子里游移的那段长镜头还挺不错，整体就是一部刚到及格线的低成本动作片
面对棘手的事情不要放弃，事情只会越来越棘手；让我们为自己的坚持鼓掌，为支持的家人朋友鼓掌，为我们平凡而闪耀的人生鼓掌！
「别惹老头」2.0升级版，比起前作来，续作已经不算是恐怖片了，但是惊悚程度依旧，血腥暴力镜头应接不暇，从头到尾全程高能，剧情也比起前作更加紧凑，不过，老头最后是死是活个人觉得还是个谜，还是觉得会有第三部的。
让我感动的并不是天将降大任于斯人必先苦其心志，这样的故事太多了。最难能可贵的是一见钟情后的不离不弃。
大叔配萝莉永远看不腻，
【6.0】孱弱的文本,优秀的视听语言,氛围与1一脉相承。亮点：用声效的夸张处理展现老兵的敏锐听觉.比如脚踩下水盖和风铃声触发老兵的反应.尤其是水纹传到手上的镜头,摄影和音效都很妙/1用关灯,2用烟雾弹制造平等对抗环境/用开灯,雾散时老兵若隐若现的身形+变焦营造惊悚感/手指插眼,铁锨砸烂脸,小女孩砍手臂的镜头满足了血浆片需求/胶水封嘴+用刀划开嘴/老兵点火和飞刀的镜头。硬伤：小孩心脏不能移植给成年人…/一开始要以父亲身份抓女孩走,杀老兵,那又放水又拉电缆是干嘛?/小女孩既然这么爱老兵,怎么会轻信陌生人?/狗的倒戈做了很多铺垫,但还是很牵强.老兵不杀它又放走它,主人丢下它,它就带老兵回了窝,被开了一枪,后来就咬了反派?编剧是按人写的./插眼不一定毙命,老兵不下死手是编剧为了制造女孩杀亲父的镜头.
