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".
这电影5.8分？我不信，我没觉得有什么大问题，把握的挺好的。
活整的太烂了，下次别整了。不知道为什么上一部还很来电的长泽雅美和木村拓哉，这一部却很不来电…酒店管理整的像抖m人群聚会一样，可能这就是日本的酒店文化吧…
全程平淡，看人就够了，明石家秋刀鱼出现的太好笑了
好吧，我承认看不懂剧情，太复杂了，太多线了。而且，这个是系列片吗？我怎么觉得头尾都不着调啊。
有一个对立很有意思，凶手和全员男性刑警的交手，虽然本片又臭又长，但是我似乎感觉到这种对立的意义。悬疑还挺悬的，但是没啥意思。
作为一部商业片，摄影和美术很高级，部分剧情设计精巧，但更多的是硬设定。在密室杀人的高概念下，人物手脚被束缚住了，很多情节逻辑不通，我无法相信。
可以说是集齐了所有日本电影里面不喜欢的元素
这部电影的创作目的是扩大漫威宇宙的世界观，但显然成品已经脱离了同系列影片，正片对系列框架的推进甚至不如两个片尾彩蛋。
和小说一样，前面略有些冗长了，不过后面反转，还是很精彩的。最近也开始对木村拓哉有点上头
还是和第一部同样的问题 角色阵容强大 但宛如用很多高级材料却炖出一锅平庸的汤 本不应如此。还有 案件本身简单 却用一堆细枝末节把这个找凶手找举报人过分复杂化。但和第一部一样 麻酱对待客人不能说“不可以”的酒店员工理念以及木村桑对待任何人都要持怀疑态度来看待的警察视觉 两人相互矛盾但逐渐相互接纳并对对方赞赏有加 这种深入推进很甜很甜！还是很喜欢麻酱的造型 本以为制服装已够煞人 最后的白色便装感觉又美出新高度虽然鱼尾纹日渐明显。还有经小日向文世提醒才发现忽略一点：为客人服务 和保护他们不被杀其实并不冲突 “他只是为了保护你 和酒店的客人” 看到这里我鸡皮疙瘩起来了 这种服务精神很棒！可惜这个酒店太贵我去不起不然真想去体验一下！PS木村桑单手托着一束玫瑰在肩上一手插袋的样子真的好有型！
果然还是不适合影像，文字更能动人。 演员阵容没的说，就是人物太多很出戏。
不是剧情配不上华丽的阵容，原著就是如此的，不过还是要感叹一句麻生久美子真的很适合这角色！
最沉闷无聊的漫威电影 赵婷还是没能掌握怎么拍商业片 还是按文艺片那样拍 真是让人昏昏欲睡。永恒族就像彩虹小队 各种颜色的皮衣还挺逗。
和小说一样，前面略有些冗长了，不过后面反转，还是很精彩的。最近也开始对木村拓哉有点上头
哈哈，这个酒店风水不好吗？老是有刑事案件发生。😂凶手有点变态

电影比书好看，场景非常棒，演技在线，最差的是案件的情节。
说是推理片，更像‘五星酒店上岗教学’，但又能怎么样呢，看到木村穿上制服迎宾马上就带入了，东野圭吾老师再写几章假面拿给他们拍吧，真的是好看🥺
这还叫剧情不啰嗦，那什么才叫啰嗦啊我不懂。一堆大牌演了个淡出鸟味的片子
2022.4.24 方舱追剧7，实在不好看啊这部，这么多大牌让人猜不到凶手哈哈哈
