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".
越往后越觉得扯 …一个陌生司机为啥对她那么好？黑警察失足摔死 房东失足摔晕 闺蜜也被一耳光摔晕 导致淹死…这安排的太牵强了吧……女主当面揭穿房东偷窥癖 又当面揭穿黑警 最后又揭穿前夫…我服了
情节太简单了，中间也猜到凶手了，Queen B还是很美的
这片子看了三十分钟，越看越有很熟悉的感觉，一查评论，果然是翻拍片，翻拍韩国的《走到尽头》，那片子我给了8.3分。本片没有《走到尽头》那种自黑精神，不像《走》那样把本国警察黑的彻彻底底，印象深刻。整体质量只能说还行，看是可以的，但和《走》比较的话，差距还是相当大的。我给3星6.7分！
跟着女主视角推进，还是丝丝入扣，情节简洁、节奏还算不错，有几层反转。总体处理得当，是个很解压的轻悬疑电影
虽然变成熟许多，还是第一眼认出QueenB。前半段想推荐朋友，后面… 不用了
与其说讲的是爱情，不如说是讲性，讲欲望与孤独。
感觉一般般，法国的监控太不行了，连车牌都拍不清楚。棺材上的钉子也太不紧了，一根鞋带就能拔出。
剧情简单粗暴，反转的也很顺畅，最亲近的人伤得最深，男人真是可怕
有点狗血有点套路话化，但我看得津津有味。反转看着还是蛮激动人心的，真的没猜到凶手。croatia真的好美
女主演技尴尬哭了……每次发现啥马上叭叭叭当面对峙😅剧本也好无语，前几天看了深水，同五分多深水可看性好多了（虽然那个也烂，但这个也就3.5不能更多了
一波N转，bug太多圆不上，房东、警察、老公的动机交代不清，还有最后都看监控了也看不出到底是谁么，非得再来一转…
一开始以为是女主丈夫是凶手，结果说是男警察，心想着如果此处反转为丈夫是凶手那就好看了，不出所料果然反转还是丈夫是凶手，结构很规整，只是女主智商有点感人，一直在作死边缘疯狂试探，看的过程觉得有点讨厌，最后抱着宝宝逃跑到草坪的时候有那一刹那的错觉是不是女主在笑？另外房东那条线有点单薄，战力也渣渣，虽然 导演很认真的设置这么一条干扰线，很可惜并没有达到干扰效果，有点可惜了
还行，最后一枪变成了俄罗斯轮盘赌有点意思，其他的中规中矩。
虽然好像是翻拍，也误点到这部翻拍的，也很喜欢啊。
不是啊大姐…在国外出了这种事情第一个反应不该去找大使馆吗？
「寂寞的時候會想要寫一首歌給你，想你現在會不會也有一點孤寂。」
我以为在交警查车那儿就要凉了，男主犯那么多事最后居然安然无恙也是奇葩
一个努力作死又不死的故事，一星也不想给，实在取消不了就当致敬女主身材，但她又不露，气人！
3.5星，故事新颖，杀手两次反转，只是要是再紧张刺激点就好了
除了根本逻辑外，整部影片的时间锁设定还是挺紧凑，悬念不断。
