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".
手松四星。作为一个无原作基础单纯喜爱真人系列前三部电影的观众，the beginning于我而言是失望的。大友文戏实在是不行。追忆基调是沉重，但不意味着可以拍得无味；主要人物性格是大开大合，但不代表着可以没有转变细节。我一直觉得剑心能成为漫改真人的天花板，不仅是人物还原打戏牛逼，更重要是体现了时代变革和武士精神，完全拔高了普通漫改的立意。但追忆篇即使多次特意地点到xx时期xx之战我都没有对时代变革的共情，只觉得是个本是凄美却刻意冰冷的爱情故事。我不知道是不是原作确实就只是在讲一个爱情故事，但我对这个系列的期待远不止这些。以及也不知是不是大友的要求，佐藤大神这次的配乐也无甚亮点，即使到剧情比较激烈的时候也没有什么像样的旋律出来。最后也是最遗憾的，tkr和村花真的没有cp感😥 @SFC新衡山
x特遣队对抗的怪物是只大眼海星，海星的能力是释放无数小的衍生体吸到谁脸上就能操控谁，结局阴沟里千万只老鼠打败了海星，海星遗言说：我也曾幸福过，自由漂浮，仰望星空。美国人竟然夹带私货拍新浪微博（海星）和炸号冤魂（老鼠）的故事。
值四星，给佐藤健的打戏和飚血暴力美学多一星。
这个电影的配置真的是顶级啊，安藤政信帅气一脸脸脸脸脸。
我以为忘了想念，而面对夕阳希望你回到今天。我记得捧你的脸，在双手之间看你的眼。
追忆篇真的看多少遍都好心痛
为什么先上人诛篇再上追忆篇，可能真是因为人诛篇弱吧。。。
派大星：这个城市是我的！！！.......卧槽什么玩意哪来这么多.....钻我眼珠子.......卧槽你搞偷袭，你小垃圾，你玩不起.....
漫改选角很难不尬，日本很难不中二，此片两点都解决了，且做得很好。难得。
怎么做到的啊！！画面血腥暴力却又天真烂漫，剧情看似荒诞其实是对现实讽刺。人物都个性鲜明，peacemaker为了所谓的’peace’滥杀无辜，监狱里的badass和疯子真的就是坏人吗？最重要的是，Harley Quinn这个角色实在是太迷人了……地窖杀出来那一段我大呼过瘾，为什么可以萌到血浆都是五彩缤纷小花瓣……而且她真的承担了90%的笑点。（简直怀疑第一部看了个假电影）五星送上！对啦配乐也棒棒！
反套路、视觉效果上已经很不错了，群像故事又是导演专长，可问题是，漫威角色是观众一点点看着成长起来的，代入感更强，DC因为前期宇宙的失败，观众已经没有这样的机会去了解角色人物小传了，DC想要翻身还有太多工作要做了。
这是剑心的十年，是砂糖的十年，也是一个观众的十年。
跟OVA看完之后久久说不出话来的震撼相比，这部后半实在是拖沓到感动不起来…前半段互相试探到接近都很好，可惜不知道为什么要删掉白梅香，再加上没有神BGM加持，全篇的悲壮感被削弱了不止一点点（以及更加讨厌Netflix强行掐断credits直接开始放下一部的做法）
处处弥漫着原作的影子，又看得出很努力想要摆脱。只能说，神作在前，其实能1比1完美复刻比这么努力的创新要来得更好。另，158正太剑心变这么大只非常不适应
冲着情怀看的，前几部特别喜欢，到了这一部。血雨腥风成绝响，人间不见白梅香。 良人随雪飘零去，生者独守十字伤。
6.0/10。过于无趣，比之动画唯一的优点就是打戏，其他的全方位都是灾难。大友启史这个锅是甩不掉了。
节奏掌控一流，人物个性鲜明，番茄酱管够，恶趣味大尺度此起彼伏，配乐贴切狂野够劲，花式法克一路到底的成就绝世好法克，彩蛋铸就新反派。曾经死侍独贱闯江湖，当下自杀小队七贱下天山；古有八爷手撕鬼子，今有鲨鱼王手撕陆战队；决战紫禁之巅之活鼠熔城实在重口味。当哈莉·奎茵发动秘奥义施展茅山神打术召唤基努·里维斯上身的那一刻，DC宇宙年度最佳已然诞生！自由引导人民，哥斯拉板载，哈利路亚！
处处弥漫着原作的影子，又看得出很努力想要摆脱。只能说，神作在前，其实能1比1完美复刻比这么努力的创新要来得更好。另，158正太剑心变这么大只非常不适应
8.5/10
无论内心多么否认这个事实，
