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".
一星给美术，一星给选角…编剧一星都没有，什么垃圾剧情…前言不搭后语，各种莫名其妙。情绪都是按套路设计的，直给到无语。
我觉得kate真有点儿像伊娃格林啊，那大眼睛和下颌线，真滴像
移民问题。20米高的房子爆炸了，愣是没搞死一个人，不得不说，主角光环强大到无敌。
不得不说，最后还能感受到一丝丝人性的温暖。P.S.姐姐好漂亮
悬念的推进稍显不足 但是值得四星鼓励 这水猴子的妆化的也太牛了
还行 有点恐怖童话的感觉。不知道为啥女巫那么好看。
我就不吐槽女主敢一个人随处跑动，一点害怕的样子都没有，这个水怪是他弟弟，给我的感觉居然可以长生不老的样子，而且战斗力爆表。
居然没上院线？特效整得挺好，电影院看应该更有感觉吧！故事线挺完整，惊悚悬疑还行！
昨天刚重看了第一部，至少第一部剧情紧凑，完整度高。第二部什么鬼，色调和音效是悬疑剧情的加分项，不是通篇不管剧情，换上色调和音效就是悬疑片，恐怖片了。再说剧情，导演想讲很多东西，1，很多地方逻辑性不强，2，很多地方也没讲清楚，我真想说什么玩意。那个记者是谁？开篇讲找那个记者弟弟，到最后又变成幼年失忆后潜意识里留存的寻找弟弟；女主亲弟弟（水鬼）为什么会生活在水里？记者是怎么死的？是镇长杀的还是水鬼杀的，还是镇长指挥水鬼杀的？还有很多地方，懒得说了。主线剧情部分为什么还非得让观众去猜？？
没那么差，我觉得还行，两倍速刚好。讲的其实还是人心。黑恶势力+钱权毒，才是真正的鬼神。家人的记忆让我泪目，虽然有点传统+男权，但是亲情绝对是永垂不朽的话题。希望越少黑恶势力，越少毒物泛滥。
世上有许许多多看似“怪异”的人，可他们也是人，也有一颗有温度的心，还望我们放下偏见，善待他们。也许你会说我咋想这么多，我无话可说，这就是我的感受吧。
人们只会相信它们看到的不顾一切去按自己认为的做。
其实也还好 老瓶装新酒 可惜的是也并没有十分出彩的地方
真就是小孩子看不懂，大人又不爱看的作品，白瞎了那么好的标题了，没啥好说的，一星。
本來以為是以糖果屋變種為底的分段恐怖故事，但沒想到還是以主故事線為主，幾個不怎麼樣的小故事用剪紙表現出來到還是增加了趣味，很多哥特神秘場景做的也蠻好的，兒童題材表現的堅持自我與屈從大環境間的老主題也還行，但結尾完全弱掉了，直接毫無邏輯復刻糖果屋結局就好像編劇是那個男孩實在編不下去隨意結尾了一樣
原来现在芭蕾舞团也有了黑人舞者？白天鹅裙子一百欧元，舞鞋75欧元。中国生产的吗？
感觉这个剧情已经圆的挺努力了，相比之下，好电影了
前半段的斗智昏昏欲睡（花园蜘蛛略微提神），后半段与女巫斗勇突然肾上激素飙升，小演员表演的演技试金石不得不说恐怖惊悚类型是评判标准之一。
有点长，有些笑点还是挺好笑的，关键是在格勒拍的！好多熟悉的情景！
认真看完了这部电影，水怪2画面感场景氛围很不错。画面色彩，布景都有老电影和香港电影的感觉，演员表现还行！我比较喜欢这个风格。剧情也很不错，前面有些阴深恐怖，后面又很感人。看得出拍摄组很用心。只是有些地方有些浮夸了，希望以后能出更多好电影，加油加油~！
