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".
10个惊悚恐怖小故事 很短 但都是精华 可以去幻想背后的故事 主演颜值还挺高
5《邻居》
污名化女生感情的恐怖片真是爱不起来，烦死了烦死了搞什么丧尸恐怖片啊
蛮吓人的。。。。。。特别是合二为一那里吃人的片段，吓死我了。。。。妈呀。。。。。不过这个片里颜值普遍不错，现在这种怪谈片也开始颜值内卷了，演技也都可以了，不会叫我出戏。就是好几个故事我都没看明白why？
10个惊悚恐怖小故事 很短 但都是精华 可以去幻想背后的故事 主演颜值还挺高
剧情老套，但有十个故事，节奏快，以量取胜。每个故事都是俊男美女，养眼
莫名想起《夜以继夜》。之前在平遥一天天被新人导演电影所支配的无聊感又再次体会到了。题材非常棒。冗长无趣，剧情乱，摄影差，气氛无烘托，误导的地方太多了。这个男主角得奖是认真的吗，演技在哪儿。见到贾导很开心，实在没想到已经过了2年了。看完短片很感动。
一共120分钟，塞进去十个故事，齿虫，密室逃脱等可以好好扩充一下，应该会不错。
缺乏想象力不说，剧情也很迷，寄生虫🪱本来算是一个新点子，零号病人从就医、到诊治、复诊、切口、感染大脑。用了那么久，大夫被咬一口直接秒发病，如医生所说，寄生虫不可能凭空出现，那么他是怎么感染的？也是被咬的？为什么能撑这么久才发病？这是在考验观众的智商吗？女鬼爬墙拽人坠落更是搞笑。粗制滥造！
这片子后半部分拧巴的我想杀人，章回体制导致我对这个故事的割裂感更强了，东南亚的湿热我没有感觉到，我只感受到了导演太多想表达的纠结在一起成为了一种沉重且沉闷的观影负担。
隧道、红衣女、牙虫、巫术、墙、衣橱、鬼婚、镜中女、人体模型、密室逃脱……嗯，金炫廷小姐姐长得有点味道
说点啥呢，感谢中国共产党的政策医保（从小到大对糖尿病足都会产生强烈的生理不适），在生存面前情怀和梦想不值一提
果然是首尔怪谈：铁线虫+女高+傀儡（人偶）+……把韩恐卖的好的故事打包了个精简快餐
我觉得这勉勉强强算及格。十个故事全都有头无尾，高潮还没开始就结束了。倒是里面俊男靓女算是养眼可那演技除了吱哇乱叫也没啥了。这电影真丢韩国恐怖片的脸
补一下在平遥没机会看到的这部 很喜欢这些东南亚背景下的电影 潮湿 闷热 和科长早年拍的片子的感觉有点像
模仿闪灵的和假体模特的两个故事氛围还可以，密室逃脱还有点意思，但整体十个故事就是个段子大拼盘，零散无趣快消生硬
表现已经相当不错了，一个原因是韩国恐怖片已近乎稀缺品种了，另一个原因是年轻演员的可爱出演弥补了单调的剧情。如果少点妖魔鬼怪，多点写实，效果会更好。
老梗杂烩，故事没头没尾，不知道拍的意义是什么，观众看的意义又是什么。
3.0/中规中矩 一惊一乍 大杂烩 不过还不错
要说变态 还得霓虹人来演 棒子就是演不出来那种感觉
