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".
前半段感觉很慢也很枯燥，后面就很精彩，有时候人真的很难分辨是敌是友，只有做好自己才是最关键的
恐同即深柜，亘古不变的真理。男主录像带在手，应该还有其他处理方式，偏偏歇斯底里选择最差的办法。。。有一个问题真的很不能理解，人类为什么对和自己无关的事那么关注，尤其是下体的事，于旁人何干？？？
对这个世界，同性恋们请永远保持清醒，永远保持警惕，有些东西可不一定不会再来一遍。
这样真实的历史事件真的是悲哀，只因为性取向就剥夺别人正常生活的权利，乃至于生存的权利，太费解太没有人性了。我只为生活在那个时代的人们感到悲哀，也为没生活在那个时代的自己感到幸运，不过历史就是由前人的错误来驱动转动的，不忘历史。男二标准美人了，且又衷心。男主的心态变换有些不明不白，怎么就弯了爱上男二了，描述的不明白。包含的东西还是挺多的，隐晦的多，不太能看懂。
不能害怕自由，不要欺骗自己。 隐瞒夜色下的自我探寻
男主的造型，尤其是发型与小胡子有点像老塔。
两位男主挺养眼，故事一开始看起来有点迷，不过后面线索慢慢清晰，两人以警察和嫌疑人的身份审讯的那段特别棒，艾瑞克努力忍着泪看着对面的警察"男友"拼命忍住感情，也不说出最近的"性伴侣"名字，那几幕，挺棒。
故事很完整，能感觉到认真叙述故事！剧情老套偏纪实，警察爹演的很好！警察有点老，cp弱！警察与大学生爱上的莫名其妙，感觉就是利用或泄y吧！冲完整剧情打星吧！2021年的电影画面感觉很久！就是一个真二八经的剧情电影，不要磕cp！
好看且压抑，今年唯一一部看完立马让我有补历史知识的电影
我，嗑到了绝世CP！
隐匿在匣中的枪依旧等待着现世展露锋芒的一刻，舒缓的风中我们又看到了那个美利坚曾经残酷的西部，让枪声再多飞一会儿吧…
基于历史真实背景的悬疑片。针对同性群体的“风信子行动”旨在监控性少数群体，这个过程中，年轻学生、大学教授、医生、警察局长等无一例外，均身涉其中，这本身不正说明，性取向不是某个群体的特殊行为和现象，而是普遍因且正常的？或许假戏真做，影片并未给出男主角性向转变的直接动机，家庭关系或许能推测出部分，更本质上的性吸引，人性和智慧，可能是触发他产生情感的原因吧。“不要怕一切，尤其是自由！”听到这句话，愣在原地的男主，望着金色卷发猎物离开的背影，他自己悄然转化成了猎物，在制度和人性之恶下发着光的，产生爱的，是他和当时更多人所鄙视和不了解的群体。当警察在搜捕性少数群体时，他们对陌生人施以援手；当同伴从人间消失时，他们给亡灵默哀。然而近些年随着右翼掌权，波兰的性少数群体又面临三十年前的窘境。
前面挺好的，后面感觉导演更着重往故事破案那方面去讲，没有过多描述男主爱上男二这个出柜意识觉醒的过程直接很快的就带过了，再后面破案也没讲清楚其实就打大boss去了，总之还行，男主挺帅的，可弯可直！特别是生气的时候！
导演不是在讲述一个发生在黑暗时代的同性恋罪案故事，而是将一个同性恋故事用那样的时代来做背景，包装于一个侦探故事中。导演太关注其中同性恋的内涵了，予以太多的强调，让一桩真实事件变得并不真实。
跟电视剧的节奏一样慢，短短两天内发生的事，剧情过于单调
对这个世界，同性恋们请永远保持清醒，永远保持警惕，有些东西可不一定不会再来一遍。
“人不能对一切感到恐惧，尤其是为了自由。”
小语种尝试ing，男主就是动摇的代名词：对工作对女友对男二，不知道自己的心好像善良其实最是残忍……（男二太会了！！！🆘（看完回来4改5星，我给男主道歉我错了我大错特错我错得离谱）
"风信子(雅辛托斯Ὑάκινθος)是阿波罗的情人", "波兰人不喜欢其他波兰人快乐", "(但你没有欺骗)自己"
“快走，我会找到你的。”
