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".
安雅都可以演E大女儿的感觉…如果是在电影院看 视听效果肯定会再加一星 无奈没有办法欣赏到 北欧版王子复仇记 本来以为会在老套的故事情节里看出新意 然而也并没有
本来是满心期待柯南伯格又会给影迷带来什么样的震撼人心的佳作。可是看完还是略显失望。主要是这次柯南伯格想要传达的关于“器官”这一概念性的命题实在有点模糊和虚幻。表达的意图偏抽象化，人物的行为举止偏意识流化，因此很难窥测其深意。倒是那对于身体切割的部分，会给人留下“难以忘却”的记忆，不过这也是柯南伯格一贯的视觉极端风格，看多了反而就不会那么渗人了。
妥了 新食材 新菜谱 我指的是内脏（bushi）
野蛮的欧洲人，北欧人，自己人杀自己人，弟弟杀大哥，儿子杀儿子，儿子杀老妈，侄子杀叔叔，叔叔杀侄子。是映射现在乌克兰跟俄罗斯自相残杀的俄乌战争？还是表达人类的邪恶凶残自取灭亡的兽性？最后的双胞胎出生是诅咒人类的永不休止的自相残杀吗？感觉这只是白人的凶残本性，似乎我们东方人更加温顺更加文明，更加适合群体社会及人类文明的发展，凶残本性的白人总有一天会自取灭亡。
阿姆雷特他妈竟然是尼可·基德曼 女神老啦 很舞台剧的表演风格
a story about a bunch of muscular nordic dudes with heavy English accents angrily hacking each other to death ( due to the lack of a one-child policy ). I don't feel much for those dudes with questionable mental stability, but I feel sorry for the horse who got its head chopped off for being at the wrong place at the wrong time. R.I.P horse.
野蛮人复仇记，两手空空扮猪吃虎的过程还是挺过瘾的
維京文明中的獸性是建立在鮮血之上的，影片全程充斥著一種陰暗和野蠻的氣息讓觀影過程變得很壓抑，關於宗教和巫術的部分也完全戳不到我的爽點上，好無聊。。。ps安雅還是一如既往的漂亮。
2.维京人与东斯拉夫人的血缘关系
歌剧不像歌剧，剧情却又稀烂的套壳北欧哈姆雷特记，完全没有任何的改编，有的只是自以为是的大段唠叨。妮可·基德曼是唯一吸引人的看点，无奈整体拉垮，独木难支
大型Rammstein mv，岩浆上打架，不占个高地是什么样的后果已无需多言
3.4分。 艾格斯的第三部导演作品，比起前两部，显然在作者表达这块落了下乘，主线故事基本按照《哈姆雷特》走，没有太多惊喜的地方。如何说有变化，那就是王后了，成为了个同样苦命，但又城府颇深的奴隶。 不过毕竟是艾格斯的电影，依然在奇幻传说、血腥场面和宗教典故上带来不错的体验。男主角受到命运的召唤，是选择安于平庸，还是为父报仇；而遇到心爱的女人之后，是选择老婆孩子热炕头，还是斩断仇人的头颅？依然是个哈姆雷特似的抉择。 听说这片子是艾格斯和环球厂拉扯妥协下的产物，也难怪，本是个复仇商业片，却又在艺术导演的追求下失去了火气，两边不搭。
为什么我看的像个半成品？？？打算出系列电影？
北欧版的《哈姆雷特》。片子让我想到了陈凯歌的《荆轲刺秦王》，前半段还不错，但是到后半段有些拉的太长，过于追求形式了。不过整体的视听效果还是可以的，镜头下的北欧风光很好看
故事中最带感的冲突点是男主妈这个角色，妮可基德曼飙戏看得很爽，加一星。
冰岛风光+王子复仇记+北欧神叨设定=三星，Nicole脑残粉和音乐加一星…氛围制造挺好，raw得精致…只是uncle的小王国过于寒碜…主角如此无敌竟然要挂…
沾满鲜血的野兽，孕育后代的保护者，欲求复仇的宿命，这一路是童年神棍的涟漪，自我渴望的镜像，亦或确实真神的指引，一切背叛、杀戮之下皆是虚幻的，他一直只不过是那个对父亲许下誓言的男孩，从不曾长大过，我会为你复仇父亲，我会来救你母亲
前半部分大量的长镜头，中段是导演擅长的志怪氛围，到最后一场秒杀魔戒的裸男大战，21世纪血液里还流淌着纯正的古典美国电影DNA的人很少，艾格斯绝对算一个
在当下，仍在努力拍电影。原始的、野性的、疯狂的
都2022年还在拍王子复仇记也太boring了吧
