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".
导演大概是看了几部国外高分悬疑片就觉得自己行了 滚回去把剧本写通畅再来吧
这样的电影小学生都能拍，极其无聊，连最基本的配乐都没有，一碗面如果不放油盐不放肉谁吃的下。
故事逻辑有层次，从成本来说应该是性价比非常高了，大团圆的结局就有点俗，评分高的电影大都是严肃的，无限循环式的结束岂不更好。
立意很高，野心很大，但是各个方面都比较一般，人性挖掘也不够。直观来说国外的我都不敢看，而这个我当时差点睡着
绝对要比现在导演拍的像部作品
黑龙江省伊春市嘉荫县，森林取景+视听不错，剧本其实挺单薄的。主题落在亲情，却被最后的狡猾微笑毁了。
p.s.能看到这部电影的人已经是少数，要么是资深电影爱好者，要么是编剧雷神的粉丝，大家挑剔一点也正常。
国产电影中的平行空间，不错，一共就三个演员两套衣服，完全没觉得无聊，希望流量电影多学学，不用流量，一样可以让人喜欢？
剧情人物的情绪也有点怪。。。
能挑出一箩筐毛病，尤其是啰嗦这一点，最核心的部分居然是靠主角的嘴直接说出来的，贵在有个情感内核，看下来居然还不错
一部网大质感的院线片。因为我对低成本一向宽容，国语、小成本、软科幻，这几个要素，我直接把期待值降到最低，不纠结什么逻辑和真实性，就是想看设定来的。
剧情和摄影有亮点，但作为网大在电影院上映业余的地方太多。演员的演技挺业余，作为平行空间的人表演缺乏层次感，收音效果差，几次出现破音。
还行吧 演员的演技不出戏还挺好的 剧情逻辑也都能圆上 比起彗星来临的那一天故事也简单不是很难懂 就是也挺奇怪女主和她老公咋就那么容易接受穿越这件事 去到别的平行空间也挺自在的那种感觉。。
是我比较喜欢的类型，小成本做成这样不错了，其实和我的一个故事很像哈哈哈哈～支持一下，多找点制作费把镜头拍的更精良些可能会更好还有灯光造型也可以下点功夫～～～但确实不易，电影人加油吧。
本科博士梗难道之前互相试探过吗？最后一个空间的男主接的太自然了，我还以为炸毁门口还是会穿回去呢。
除女主角外俩人演技不得行，还有说白了，这不就是抄《恐怖游轮》吗
我觉得每个空间应该不止一个同人能穿越进来。就是说：女主A可以去B空间，女主C女主D女主E都可以去B空间。所以，真的很复杂，烧脑。但是这片子一点都不像是中国的，应该是翻拍国外的？
“警察叔叔我要报警，有人要杀我妈妈，要杀我妈妈的人......是一个和我妈妈长的一模一样的人”。
演员演技着实拙劣。。。
神奇啊有人觉得这电影的女主是好人。有人认为女主是坏人。作为一部悬疑电影能够引起大家如此的讨论，已经算是有一些成功了。整个电影看下来，我的个人理解倾向于女主不是一个坏人。作为一部平行空间的电影来说，我觉得还不错。
