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".
好家伙！请这仨演员出演的片子咋能无聊到这个地步 同感上一部还是《红色通缉令》每个设定每个片段都能猜得到我也是服了 东拼西凑的剧本 倒是个完整故事 但是讲了跟没讲一样 动作戏和航拍多到我以为我看的是迈克尔贝 不过CE演反派可以多来点 他演反派戏一般都很好
哇哦，罗素兄弟还是回去拍漫威吧，毕竟那边剧情不需要太有脑子
导演太会拍景了，我一度以为是风景欣赏系列，放在4K标准上，肯定很亮眼。
跟现在社会大环境差不多，一个男人的问题=所有男人都一样，那么苦大仇深就换一个，不想换就不要换 自己一个人过～标签化日益严重的社会在这种毫无故事逻辑的剧本下只会继续退步，大家只会失智化宣泄～就好比青春变形记那位导演一样，一个华人家庭是那样=所有华人都一样，还怕不了解的人标签贴的不够多吧
剧情方面真的很一般，结局有点屎，可以这么说这是反派赢了的结局！
那些因为男人生男人自我复制的镜头San值归零而打低分的人承受力未免也太低了,我来拉高评分。个人觉得7.9吧。倒是没有吓到我，很平实，更像个纪录片。

爆米花动作片 看得爽就完事了 不过美队比高司令演得好不少啊 另外网飞是真有钱 可以当成旅游片来看了
3.3分。 意象大于叙事，氛围大于情绪，这部女性主义题材惊悚片依然保持着嘉兰之前两部电影的特点，只不过比起《机械姬》和《湮灭》，它的隐喻和命题感更强了，而对于故事结构的建立更为脆弱。 所以影片在前半部分的铺排很是引人入胜，古朴典雅的乡间别墅，蓊蓊郁郁的茂密森林，都极为曼妙的表现出生命力的旺盛和地理性的保守之间的反差。期间插入的极端闪回画面，如同不安的琴弦，拨弄着我们观影时的不安。 不过到了后半段，随着女主角逐渐发现这诡异的现象，“男人们”展开对女主角的攻击和侵犯，那种不安感化作为纯粹的惊悚展示，尽管“男生男”的套娃过程略显创意，但影片本质上没有架构好自成一体的影像空间和叙事空间，多处的留白更是让影片像是一部问题电影。
好久没有看到这么单纯的动作爽片了，动作场面设计很流畅，画面剪辑有逻辑又炫酷，节奏紧凑，就是爽！爽到可以无视剧情的俗套。
在漫威宇宙的成功或许让大家拔高了对罗素兄弟的期待，离开漫威后他们执导的几部电影口碑都塌了，本片似乎也只是在复制去年《红色通缉令》的模式化套路，尽管影片秉承着三分一小炸，五分一大炸的节奏，全程让影片处于高速运转之中，但回顾全片是否有一个让你记忆深刻的场面？我想我们要的不仅仅是这些。
情节简单，场面复杂，打不死的小强比主角光环还强大
前半部分氛围，摄影和意象都不错，后半部分拉垮了，把隐喻和符号直接怼在观众的脸上。不过分叉手和套娃两个场景可以载入cult片史册了。
女生不要独自一人去住Airbnb，尤其是那种风景如画的英国小村庄
Captain America FUCK YEAH
谍影重重式的兔死狗烹+飓风营救式的人质解救+死侍式的街头枪战大爆破+第一滴血疾速追杀会计刺客伸冤人小人物式的独行侠复仇大屠杀，整个一大杂烩四不像。不过有一说一，安娜确实美。
tbh感觉比john wick好看一点（）
网飞做电影项目制片的大数据算法很有趣，但做出来的电影就不是那么有趣了。
这剧情我也是醉了，反派完全是作死啊，除了场面真没别的事情了
正经动作片。就是没啥亮点，在飞机上和跳伞时，黑寡妇和神秘海域都做的好一些，追车，枪战也是中规中矩，打戏比较差，没有拳拳到肉的感觉。几个女主我还是比较喜欢看的类型。
