剧情介绍

  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".

    人要与自己和解是最难的,以及,从自我的高傲中剥离出来也是最难的,所以,这剧情来得太轻松了。

  • 冬霞 3小时前 :

    丈夫,妻子,强奸者与敌人……怎么说呢,可以看,也很欣慰最后耶稣支持了他们。电影妙在一个事被以不同人的角度反复讲(罗生门?),引发人的思考。但故事本身较简单,偏爱剧情的我未免觉得有些乏味。

  • 性舒荣 1小时前 :

    披着科幻克隆人的皮,其实是温情亲情片,讲的是告别的不舍,以及感人的亲情,发人深思

  • 卫政 8小时前 :

    那个“夏夜热风”的短评也是醉了,尚明摆着为了自己的尊严完全不顾妻子的想法,全程玛格丽特只是个符号,归根结底就是两个男人的私愤,只不过要带人陪葬,这不雄性主义?等于说你老婆被强奸了,干脆让她死了算了?这叫爱?玛格丽特不告诉尚的话,改天尚知道了,她说的清?还有输了被火烧的事不告诉玛格丽特,这算啥?玛格丽特一直反对决斗你也装瞎,这种男的大家注意了,身为男人都觉得你真下头

    眼神里都是戏~非常温馨的科幻电影,本以为这么高科技如此像《黑镜》会是惊悚剧情hhh

  • 振骞 7小时前 :

    本来就不喜欢罗生门,没想到本片也是类似的叙事方式。愚昧和愚蠢,神权和王权。我实在没明白为什么观众就能在女权还是非女权上争论不休,这真的谈不上女权不女权,难道为自己发声就是女权吗?这难道不是在混淆人权女权,甚至于框上中世纪对女人和穷人的迫害,来标榜现在的女权?

    老土。每一步都是意料之內卻又意料之外——意外劇情文本的幼嫩和無聊,極度堆砌的感動其實會令觀眾反感。

    结尾处理得好绝,人们在为男人的胜利欢呼,无人在意真相,也无人在意女人的悲喜。

  • 振星 2小时前 :

    看到第二章才意识到,这是罗生门式的结构。前两段的铺排很平,差点没忍下来。从一开始就同情马达,一个埋头苦干的猛人二愣子,不懂得人情世故被边缘化,太委屈了。一个女人指控强奸却要背负那么多枷锁,被闺蜜背叛,被婆婆嫌弃,被世俗不理解,一个女人被那么多男人围住问那样冒犯的问题,太特么屈辱了。最后决斗大战野蛮生猛,一颗悬着的心始终被吊着,终于,刺穿那张烂嘴。沉冤得雪大仇得报。申冤再难也要干。

  • 呈初 4小时前 :

    好精彩!你永远可以相信雷导,拍得太从容了,对观众预期的掌控力好强。有趣的是,电影要是没有第三部分,将会是一部最教科书最传统的男性叙事视角下的英雄史诗:孤独深情又勇敢的英雄为爱与正义而战。然而第三趴直接打断前两位男性的意淫,同个故事里Marguerite的精神状态都完全不一样,女性困境只能由女性来represent。美中不足的是没能做到更彻底更全方位地解构、还是有点被历史题材限制住了,外加一些配角也确实够单薄。但马特呆萌和朱迪科默真的演得太好了,两位的戏感染力都好强…另外那谁,金发好帅🤤剧本也写的很好!

  • 卫燕秀 1小时前 :

    apple TV批量制造的这些性冷淡设计美学+鸡汤伦理的片子可太难看了吧

  • 扈谷玉 7小时前 :

    年度剧情迷惑大赏,老爷子投机取巧的拍摄方式让观众很难从不同的角度上得出有价值的线索去判断剧中人孰是孰非,也许是因为女权这个主题太敏感,也许是因为我还是太浅薄了,啥也没看出来……
