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".
为什么强奸不能判处死刑？强奸不仅带来伤害，还让无数女性活在恐惧中，并不比死亡来得更加轻松。印度以超高的强奸犯罪率闻名，但至少他们拍出这样的电影，你必须大喊大叫来逼迫世人醒来。
故事很扯，主题“深刻”又肤浅。问一个问题，如果强奸死刑，请问还有强奸受害者幸存吗？反正都是死，灭口了好还是放生好呢？拜托有点法制思维好吗，死刑能解决一切罪恶？
豆瓣印度片的分真的是高的离谱了6分的片子能到8分？印度警察拍的和搞笑一样，嫌犯持枪直接开门单挑打警察，劫持了一堆人质结果警方没派一个谈判专家与之周旋，傻乎乎的让罪犯一个人掌控全局，搞笑的还有嫌犯的家属近况居然警察不调查，隔了N久了男主回来了才想起问她亲人，这TM谁能告诉我还有哪个国家这样拍不被骂 还被打8分叫好的，哈阿三粉的真是够了
一般这种类型片，男性罪犯要求的是保护家人，或者像小丑要求无政府主义。女性罪犯要求的是修改法律用以保护所有弱势群体。是不是只有受害女性被逼的要杀死你们的孩子，你们才能听她的控诉？如果这样的“弱者”多一点，可能强暴还会少一点。别再欺负女人，否则让你们断子绝孙。
自从看了三年A班后，就免疫了一切绑架题材电影，但说实话，这部电影不好看的原因只是在于，作为一部电影，它是不好看的，单这一点，就无法让我继续深入它所要探讨的印度女性命题，这种商业化、类型化的表达，远远没有现实主义表达来得更有说服力
主题很深刻，后半个小时很震撼，但是前面推进的太慢了，感觉可以处理的更好。其实在看过简介之后就已经对剧情走向完全猜到的了。不过鉴于其主题的社会性，还是很不错的。印度这一块一直很好。某些镜头蛮印度的，我还以为20s的印度电影不会再这样了。
题材很好也很深刻，女主杀了qj 犯后无声的呐喊是全剧最精彩最高明的地方。除以上以外，全片充满了不合理，为了配合主角演一出大戏，警察宁愿放弃智商和下限。
作为类型片是比较成熟的，女主的演技真的不错。但是非常幼稚的是：很难相信一个系统学习过法学知识的人会认为只有依靠提高量刑基准才能够预防、惩治犯罪——当然你要是说女主的“学习”仅限于背法条那当我没说。
内容差点意思，明显一副用力过猛的样子
印度版《恐怖直播》没想到那个司机居然是强奸犯
越往后看越吸引人，电影的讲述方式十分现代化，利用网络和社会舆论推进剧情发展。
一直搞不懂为什么印度男的那么喜欢强奸，既然这样犯了强奸罪就该判死刑。
印度版的三年A班，一班学生成了幼儿园小朋友
题材很好，但是前期铺垫过长，线索给得太少，悬疑感就靠音效加持，很快就没耐心看下去。
剧情较幼稚，拍摄手法很幼稚，结局较爽，不过我不相信印度“等”国会有什么改变。
2022.3.22 好故事 阿三的故事还是可以的 但是这剧情讲实话感觉有很多片子的影子 但具体说哪一部我又有点想不起来 恐怖直播 误杀2 怒火重案？本来是可以打4星的 但是想到结尾明明可以更激烈的 拍的太平平无奇了 如果有小丑那样的结局就感觉收的很好了 笑死了出警被记者拍到 让女主知道了特别行动 还有印度的配乐真是一如既往的不行 配乐这方面印度应该好好反思 我说第一个被杀的小孩怎么没有血迹 原来是真的是玩射击游戏没被杀死 经典要见总理 感觉很多片都有这样的影子 让里面的孩子们浑然不知还在看电视也是门技术 总理最后选择和女主通电话见女主 印度每16分钟就有一名妇女被强奸..是真的太夸张了
不知道真实的印度的总理是不是一位忧国忧民的女性，也不清楚印度强奸犯是不是都被判了死刑……但是在这部电影里，结局是理想的！！！印度这种出现问题，用电影的形式把问题呈现出来，并引导观众去做正确的选择，这点真的太让人羡慕了！
悬念做得很足，结尾略显狗血，但也没办法，要想把故事讲明白只能这样。总得来说还是部具有深刻社会意义的商业片，拿捏得不错。
主要是想借电影为印度女性发声，不公是人造成的，也是社会造成的。最触动人的其实是片尾字幕，是这部电影的成功同样也是不成功之处。故事问题还是挺多的，不管怎么说还是让我共情了
No country for women！别再踩印度了，谁比谁烂还不一定呢
