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".
暴风雪下的小屋成为了人性修罗场，套路十足。知道事情真相偏瞒着不说，最有经验最稳的必然先死，弱不禁风的女性势必反杀，反杀用螺丝刀插脖子，美帝警察用来送人头……优点在于，节奏快，时间短，剧情简单，血腥有力，痛感十足！还有几个人玩的bullshit游戏，就是“吹牛”，小时候也经常玩，用来体现人物性格还是很合适的，如果在游戏过程上能再更深入展示展示就更妙了。
以为是女主专场，被bangbang的时候还是心疼了一下！片子拍的挺好的！希望女主🔥起来。女主，华裔！！！
迈阿密男子
那女的拿到枪后 bullshit男中钉子以后 为什么不立即开枪把另外一个男的杀了 无语
三星半吧，90分钟时间节凑，加上一些小反转和生理疼痛镜头，还可以
被长发小哥蠢哭，你不死谁死，还死得这么草率哈哈哈哈哈哈。至于最后的惨剧完全是女主一手造成的，绝了。但很喜欢女主的厌世脸。
这种剧情每次都除主角外全军覆没，能不能反套路一下，给我个惊喜？
让人惊喜的小成本电影，女主为了看望生病的母亲，漆黑的夜里，一人驱车前往医院，路上遇到了暴风雪只好在服务站等待雪停，一群陌生人在此相遇。女主发现他们其中一个人的车里有被绑架的女孩，想尽一切办法解救女孩，电影有几次小反转很精彩，比如玩牌游戏和女主发现坏人不止一个的时候，电影演到中间我以为黑人大叔是救兵，谁知他原来是来打酱油的，靠男人拯救一切还是算了，关键时刻还是要看女人，女主智商一路在线（女主手腕被钉钉子还是挺疼的）与坏人搏斗到底，电影有小刺激也有小心思，全片完成度挺高。推荐。
现在的美国电影没法看，一股浓浓的恶臭...--
小成本惊悚片，总共主角就五个人，剧情比较老套，但是后半段还是挺精彩的，比较惊险刺激，女主全程高能，还是可以一看的。
一个刁蛮的有钱人家的女孩被绑架了，一群人被飓风封锁在一个游客休息站。故事开始了。
小成本悬疑惊悚，五加一的角色配置在暴风雪山庄困境里保持着很强的紧张感，难能可贵的是女主十分有魄力，智商和勇气全程在线，一直竭尽身边能利用的资源来尝试找到扳倒对手的机会。
Thriller is not an easy one. At least this movie caught my attention. It was just too good to white guys by offering them too many excuses, and too sticking to look politically correct.
暴风雪山庄模式，合格的惊悚电影，剧情有反转也还算能自圆其说，女主基本上是一己之力对抗劫匪拯救小女孩，整个看下来也是很机智神勇了，虽然过程中屡败屡战，边调整战术边伺机行动，这种主动出击反杀还是比较过瘾的，起码观众看着畅快点。
看前半部我还在纳闷，都2022年了，美国还会拍这种暴风雪山庄模式的推理电影？果然中段画风一转，变成了心理悬疑➕暴力反杀。印象中美国电影很少启用亚裔女演员担当第一主角，韩国人和越南人姓刘的不多，大概率是华裔。说真的，很久没看到节奏这么好的悬疑惊悚电影了。
我一开始以为是大逃杀类的片，一屋子人要一边猜谁是杀手一边逐个被杀掉。还寻思着这部大逃杀的摄影布景都还挺用心。然后我以为要玩牌玩大半集才能找到内华达司机，没想到司机根本没撒谎。尽管主角智商在线，但剧情还是挺没劲的。总结出一个规律，脱困一定要靠自己，这类片都会有一些让人觉得安全感十足的配角，但无论是没带枪的海军陆战队，还是带了枪的警察，都救不了主角，脱困一定要靠自己。
剧情完整但太单薄了，前一个小时挺无聊，后面也没紧张起来
还不错，小紧张小刺激，没那么激烈，大叔都还没施展技能就挂了有点对不起他这设定。
观感还行吧，没有大的bug，主角光环、反派死于话多这些俗套还是不可免
前半段其貌不扬，甚至都想关掉放弃了，没想到进入中间部分整个起飞，出人意料的好看，主角智商在线的惊悚片也是不多了，算是惊喜。
