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".
不错！英德组一把子给我嗑到了，铁叔真的气质绝佳，以及不管是真实还是虚构，算是了解了一些慕尼黑协定背后的故事了。每次看二战相关的电影心情都很沉重…唉。
居然拍得很缠绵，德国朋友身上有一种天真与痛苦的微妙感，太迷人了
7分。印度抗英神剧，出乎意料还挺有意思的啊~~~干脆神过头不讲道理，反倒没人去谈什么真实性了。上下半场这浓浓的基情，最后还搞出个女主的确没想到，但几场重头戏水火大战还挺不错的，反正只要看得HIGH就行了嘛，别的其实也无所谓了~~~
别事后诸葛亮，1938年的德国要干什么，谁能知晓天机？但张伯伦绥靖了没得洗，你一味忍气吞声求来的和平在阿道夫的面前不值一题，英法在苏台德条约中占何便宜？
4.25/5 不愧是印度今年的抗戰神片，印度版《戰狼》、《狙擊手》、《梅爾吉勃遜之英雄本色》、《終極戰士》，打鬥偶爾還有股《殺破狼》的狠勁，諜對諜也有股《無間道》的味道。
难以形容的mix：战狼+叶问+手撕鬼子+塞尔达无双+这就是街舞
1938年英德法意四国在慕尼黑把捷克的苏台德卖了的故事！英国人这个时候拍这么一部第二次世界大战边缘的关于苏台德地区的最后谍战外交战的电影，是对2022年初爆发的俄乌战争和后续发展的预言吗？表面上看，俄罗斯就是当年德国，但实质上美国为首的北约不断东扩，才是当年的德国，普京反而是当年的张伯伦和丘吉尔的合体。历史就是这么残酷，虽然刚经历过残酷的一战的欧洲大国，都不想再打一场欧洲大战，但还是被历史的车轮一点点卷了进去！老谋深算的英国首相张伯伦尽一切努力不想欧洲再次大战，这在当时背景下其实是完全正确的！并且明知希特勒不可信，还是主动和希特勒签了英德永不再战条约，就是让其毁约而失信天下！同时也拖延了和德国开战的时间，抓紧备战。
每个演员都很到位，老戏骨艾恩斯把张伯伦的绥靖演绎的到位 希特勒的演员选的不好
终于看上了！没想到这俩男主会有这么好磕…荞麦又在紧急送关键信件哈哈哈哈 德国小哥太帅了！开头剪辑碎得我一度难以入戏 但越看越觉得总体还不错 拍得真的蛮抓人的 但感觉男主和妻子的部分没太大作用？结尾重复开头三个人那段感觉也很unnecessary 张伯伦的那种政客的狡猾嘴脸还是展现得挺好的 有代入感了 虽然查了一下感觉一些历史上的细节没拍出来 可能电影也无意于此吧 又知道了一段二战历史就很nice～
我对历史题材小说改编的电影总是很宽容，不需要逻辑严谨，最后能圆出一个好玩的结局就行。是配乐和镜头语言把这部电影救回及格线的，小酒馆聚会和牛津派对又弄成美则美矣的鸡肋了，最后俩男主分食一根烟怪浪漫的，谁让我就是喜欢这种cliche。把女性角色塑造成隐藏辅助才是年代剧的正确打开方式，三个女人各有各的坚韧与勇敢，同时也起到了不可或缺的作用。吐槽女性角色还不如吐槽男主，性格如白纸做主线任务能力又差，简直独自carry起观众的血压。总而言之，当个剧情/惊悚故事看看得了，品一品人间真情（“希望就是等待别人救你，所以最好不要”），非要求不偏不倚也太蛋疼了吧。
阿三是世界上唯一适合做アニメ真人化的，尬的光明正大，荡气回肠
每次我看历史片，都会有新的感受，都会吸纳新的知识，值得观看的原因再加上荞麦的精彩演出，紧张气氛烘托的也很到位。
罗摩神话的现代演绎,罗摩、比姆之名已昭然若揭。打斗精彩，抗英神话。断头台的场面有《勇敢的心》的感觉，兄弟二人救来救去，穿插的故事也非常流畅。
确实扭转了一些我对张伯伦的认识，人物塑造相当成功，很不错
承认印度优秀很难吗？
就上半部还在究着心弦想着两个人什么时候撕的，下半场就一起抗敌了，当然啊，没有一起怎么能取得胜利，印度悬浮high片的典型之作，狗血至极，但就还行吧。
好长啊（唱歌得占一半时长）印度人对英国人 就仿佛中国对小日本的恨
我不理解但我大受震撼，平均五分钟一个慢镜pose，这种直白的表达风俗，也明白了为什么加勒万河谷的三三们，是如此的表现和战力了。
印度大爽片。整体看下来，我觉得倒更像是表现兄弟情的主旨，推翻入侵者统治只是复线任务。他想为部落带回小女孩，我抛弃大业帮你完成。你想为村庄带回枪支，我不顾性命帮你实现。
