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".
嘻嘻哈哈吐槽着看完了，看得很开心，有笑到，凶手也有猜到，哈哈
期待了许久 打开才发现居然政治正确加塑料感的现代版本 妈妈的闺蜜黑人 男爵的唯一继承人亚裔 最后连牧师都是黑人 男主选角也奇丑 就差加上印度歌舞 这么去改编意义在哪呢？丝毫不唯美甚至想吐…
很好笑，很本格的slash作品，self-aware到每分钟都在抖包袱，如果和朋友一起看会很快乐吧，来押凶手是谁。看IMDb上的差评发现有的观众被戳到是真的很急了，一水的一星吐槽woke、far left对他们的残害，我大惑不解。不认为它有什么政治宣言，它明显从头自嘲到尾。还包含一些特别傻气的段落，而我完全可以原谅。
面目全非。。真正的Anne才不是酒鬼，也绝不会在餐桌出那样的丑。男女主的情感表现不到位，完全表达不出Anne的痛苦挣扎Frederick的失落隐忍。近年简剧越来越戏剧风了，父亲总是莫名其妙走喜剧路线。。一星是给电影制作的。
Let the life be guided by intuition, not persuasion❤️
【B-】冲着讽刺《星战》极端粉这点多给一星。第一幕和第三幕拍的很不错，特别是第三幕对白、剪辑和情节编排的水准都很高，可惜第二幕让角色降智的情节写的实在是让人疯狂吐槽…而且看的很愤怒。如果不是这第二幕拉分，可以给到四星。求求你们别再拍续集了……让这些角色就幸福的去过自己的生活吧…人家都活到第5部了还要杀掉又是何必呢？
是怕观众看不懂吗？心理活动全部通过女主的嘴直白的表达出来。

韩国电影太现实，贫富差距，人的贵贱差距……
劝导是我最爱的奥斯丁作品，没有之一。今天看了2022的翻拍，好痛苦，我希望美国人永远不要再翻拍英国经典文学作品。你们可以拍你们自己的女作家，拍狄金森还是带点尊重的。拍奥斯丁找了一个黑人演罗素夫人，我真的服气了。还有哪些给女主编了那么多自以为聪明的小动作和台词，人物性格都改了。我真的无语，无语到家了。我可以理解07版本女主演的有点自卑，新版的想要把女主内心的小叛逆演出来。但是现在改的不切现实，把19世纪未婚女性无法经济独立改成傻兮兮的追求爱情。把深刻的女性问题刷了一层糖果外衣。作品的立意都下乘了。
画面很美，两个主角性格都很拧巴很贴切，但其他cp配得我…
6.4，苍白无力的台词撑不起全片，女主打破“第四面墙”的演绎也无法让观众牵连，像是把小说改编成了一段现代玛丽苏剧情，服饰妆容过于现代化了，完全没年代质感，男主基本全程脸盲，简奥斯丁的小说主题基本变化不大，但是想要拍出花样来，还是不容易的，唯独像MV的画面还可以看看，ZZZQ过于粗暴地强行加入略反感。
女主是五十度灰女主哇，我看得总是有些跳戏😭
2022年了喂，为什么交互界面还能那么丑啊？
那些坚强、果敢、野蛮、硬撑、裹泪、粗旷的灵魂，谁想这样？！还不是因为这操蛋且卑微的生活和这无理且凉薄的世界。封它于文艺却裹挟于商业，探讨于卑微却激昂于讲述，没有伦理的束缚，只让你知晓人微言轻的困顿。卑贱的百姓面对肮脏的政权，推土机是内心最后的倔强
麻绳专挑细处断，厄运专找苦命人。在哪个国家都是一样的，底层人没有话语权。
这个所谓复合现代人审美和风格的选角和故事，倒不如前几年的那部Emma…
世界上需要更多像惠英一样敢正面刚，甚至举止恐怖的底层女性。受压迫者最好的崛起方式，就是不停地被打倒、不停地站起来。
好气哦，不好看呀！另外《惊声尖笑》对我影响太大了，一看这个面具就想笑～
恐怖片生存法则与现实结合完美，揭秘的过程中吐槽了一堆IP续作重启花式扑街（如绝命圣诞夜、鬼娃回魂、月光光心慌慌、电锯惊魂、终结者、侏罗纪公园、捉鬼敢死队、星球大战等，这个揶揄的桥段非常Cute），退休警长纯粹是工具人领便当，坏蛋依然死于话太多，全智能家居安防系统你值得拥有。
