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".
动作设计蛮惊喜、世外桃源（及其小生态）也惊喜、联动漫威的宇宙再惊喜。
能看出在全是西方主创的团队里只能借助那些“表面化”的东方物料还原“东方色彩”，随处可见的拼凑痕迹着实明显，但相比隔壁《花木兰》来说已经算有精进了，尤其尾声的东方神龙对战西方恶龙，最大程度保持特效和细节不丢分。ps：祛除旧的糟粕，可以说这个原创的文物应该算是当前漫威宇宙里除了灭霸外最闪耀的反派了。希望未来尚气编队复联的时候光腚手下留情……
我永远压亚洲人赢。。这台词很阴阳怪气。。。男主的爸爸不应该是梁朝伟应该是雷佳音啊。。梁朝伟被绿实锤~~XD
预告剪的没有全片一半精彩，是我格局小了，这部电影真是超出预期的好看~依旧是漫威的大场面，大制作，眼花缭乱但非常丝滑的动作场面，适时出现的笑点，当然更少不了和之前整个漫威宇宙的联动…作为一部商业大片，尚气在剧情上做到了人物饱满故事完整，全片充斥着东方元素而且审美非常在线，尤其是后半部分，特效和场景设计更是非常惊艳，整部片子看下来可以肯定漫威对这部片子是真的走心了…只可惜，片子从选角开始就争议不断，一部全片有一半都在说普通话的好莱坞大片，我们竟然是那个不能在大银幕上看的…最后日常吼一句，梁朝伟真是连皱纹都好有魅力~
说实话，比起看一部漫威超级英雄片，我宁愿看十遍卧虎藏龙。但是大概要接受这个被超级英雄统治电影院的现实了，所以这部电影是这个现实的最好版本，用心的电影人利用漫威电影的机会trojan horse独特的世界观和文化。作为中国人我听到中文台词，看到被中国神话和文化影响的影像，我有欣喜的感觉，而不是尴尬，因为我体会到了电影人的用心和尊重。动作戏很好，三藩街头公交打斗戏很赞。当然最后这电影的赢家绝对是梁朝伟，他在sb漫威电影里贡献了影帝级演技。帅瞎了，我心中的主角。给梁朝伟一个奥斯卡，哈哈！
中规中矩。美术肯定是符合美国观众想象的，中国人看着别扭，功夫熊猫那种境界这么多年也追不上。全靠各种奇观中的动作戏支撑了全片，动作设计是全片最好的部分，澳门高楼外脚手架让我想起了《黄飞鸿之狮王争霸》。文戏很无聊又很弱，梁朝伟忽大忽小的身份地位实在没有说服力，母亲的旁白实在太尴尬，十环这个魔戒式道具实在敷衍，其他倒没有太多灾难性的场面。中国人逃到美国隐居，不认同祖祖辈辈的暴力传统，几乎弑父，这是中国自己意识不到而外国人非常在意的，西方需要的是一个世外桃源的东方而不是尚武的征服者，也不是有组织的国家。东方人的使命就是世世代代压抑着吞噬人灵魂的怪兽，他们失败了，而美国华裔彻底消灭了它，这怎么看都像是一个寓言。
哇又被影评骗了这哪里是一个弑父的故事。
本来期待蛮大去看的 ……外国人真的别拍中国电影
身為漫威迷每部都去電影院，除黑寡婦。很推薦尚氣去電影院看。 當下看完也覺得乳滑，但漫威電影一直都是在宣傳美弟價值觀的 不是嗎？ 看電影本來就是寓教於樂，
最值得一看的就是前半部分成家班风格满满的动作戏，与之后的神魔大战仿佛不是一个片子里的。争议点其实圆得挺好，但夹带私货没得洗，伪君子比真小人更让人不齿。电影的情感塑造一塌糊涂，恕我完全无法理解尚气想要弑父的动机逻辑。总结：看这片子不如回去多重温几遍成龙电影。
观感意外很好，流畅也很完整。后半段比起漫威宇宙可能更适合哥斯拉怪兽宇宙。纪念时隔20个月第一次进影院，我太怀念这种下班后立刻往影院冲的感觉了。
片子确实有诚意不管是音乐特效还是美术，但还是一部美式爆米花电影，而且前身该是啥还是洗不掉的，也并不是一两句对白就能洗的😅
故事像坨屎，角色还可以，中国元素太棒了，梁朝伟怎么还是这么帅
放在漫威的世上算是一部不错的作品,放在看惯了中国神话打斗的我们面前,只能说夏威夷人还没找对 G 点,场景除了 CG 太小气,打斗烂的不行,2 秒钟就能切一个镜头...没看到几个完整动作....文武的故事还有很多没有展开,一个混了几千年的老神仙尽然被幻象控制着行动,我看到这只觉得呵呵.
武打动作硬，视效奇观爽，情感内核也不拉胯，东方文化的运用不能说炉火纯青但也炖出了一番味道。漫威亚裔英雄值得一个更高的分数。
people magazine sexiest man alive 2022给梁朝伟不过分吧 恭喜大家心甘情愿获得新的亚洲daddy
抛开争议，不管是放到漫威电影还是中国主流电影中，都是一部佳作。乳化只是个借口，之所以不让上，只是因为它拍的太好了。潜移默化中完美输出个人英雄主义的美式价值观，在这方面，国内的长津湖、战狼、白蛇…没有一个能打的。希望我们也能早日拍出这种审美性商业性兼备的电影，到那一天，所有关于乳化的可笑言论都将烟消云散！
蠢的竟然有些可爱了… 廉价粗糙的视觉背景板，绿幕痕迹太重了。整部片的视效充斥着卡通感，我真的完全没法相信眼前的这个物质世界。只能说梁朝伟在这样一部连视效都开始缩水的超英片里还能稳住自己坚实的表演，真是辛苦了！！！
梁朝伟好帅啊！！！！淦！！！！！！
美国大巴、澳门武场的打斗精彩，进入东方秘境后就不过尔尔，结尾沦为怪兽片实属跳类型，一度以为在看哥斯拉大战基多拉。
