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".
好多人死在这个警局啊。女警最后开车想干嘛？
别抱着杰拉德陷落系列的希望看，被微冲近距离突突居然都不死
影评人不喜欢，但我觉得很有趣。这部电影用一种黑色幽默的手法，把第一次世界大战的偶然性和残酷性都体现了出来。这本是一场不必要的战争，人头滚滚，皇冠落地。一腔热血的年轻骑士死得偶然又毫无意义，但这正是一战的荒诞之处。明摆着瞎编历史，但历史本来荒唐。如果说有什么不足之处，配乐太满了算一处吧，其实不需要这么用力地营造宏大的仪式感。
故事很拉跨，枪战勉强有点看头，巴特勒还是不要勉强文戏了。如果以为能看到《血战13号警署》请谨慎观看。
剧情傻槽点多。想说Ralph Fiennes都六十了还拍这么多动作戏好累啊哈哈哈。还有Rhys Ifans武打动作是真的美，但果然又搞起了黄色，让人以后如何直视他和Ralph Fiennes！
小成本电影，也没能拍出大反馈，故事比较平。一般吧
为什么评分这么低，我觉得完全可以7分以上啊
难看他妈给难看哭丧，难看死了。看这个片的感受就是，当年鲜衣怒马的初恋，今年就变成油腻张东升了，还是喜欢嚼蒜拍小男生屁股的那种油腻。要剧情，剧情跟摊煎饼一样，那叫一个平。要人物，跟摊的煎饼一样，就剩下平面了，翻个面都没啥花。曾经喜欢的讽刺和不政治正确，现在变成了逼乎讲你新编的故事。导演别搞腐，直男搞不来的。就连导演曾经最引以为豪的打戏编排都崩了，只有三英战妖僧和高空跳伞还能窥见当初那一点点灵气。这片唯一高级的就是乳法，一战在法国领土上大杀特杀，但这片里英德俄轮番儿作妖，就是不说法国，黑到深处就是抹掉你的存在。里面贼多设定细想就是黑啊，全世界佣人联合起来帮助英国贵族，列宁是反派走狗，最后希特勒干死尼古拉斯二世全家，真尼马敢编！导演，您要是飞坏脑子，那就飞去吧，别这么糟蹋自己亲儿了好嘛。
剧情不吐槽了，反正Ralph叔粉看的很满足。汤姆霍兰德三次方真的迷你又可爱…大反派说surprise～！的时候内心：没有哦一开始不给看脸就知道是你了好伐！还有没想到来看喜剧还能中途给看哭了的……
6.5/10 中规中矩，警局内的一段枪战戏+0.5
没看明白，就知道打打杀杀……陷落专业户，这次我还以为被暗算了，想着也不能啊，果然结尾最后又崛起了，光环不是一般的强
前半部分比较乏味，后半部分还可以，警察局内部枪战，除了女主，其他JC都是被秒的份。
2022年一月，第一次回归家旁边的实体影院看的。人很少，看得莫名其妙，依稀记得有个观众在狂咳嗽。记忆深刻的只有苏格兰羊毛和俄国神棍裙装舞打戏。
这个剧最大的反转竟然是不听话的儿子非要上前线然后被自己人打死，帅儿子一颗星帅爸爸一颗星特效实在是无语，不是说是五毛而是感觉在用一个一百万的榨汁机捣蒜，剧情实在鬼扯淡。竟然有人因为我的低分评价而跑来骂我。也是服气了……现在网络还是可以不负责任说任何话。这样的时代会结束的，相信在不久的将来
我为这电影恶臭的意识形态和价值观感到恶心。。。列宁都成了反派，为了保住王位，真的啥价值观都可以接受，不行，我这接受共产主义熏陶的人决不允许万恶的封建势力割我的韭菜！！愚蠢至极的片子，就连剧情都让人乏味作呕，最后成了为了让人死而安排死的烂俗狗血剧情，和美国末日2让乔尔死掉有异曲同工之妙。。
两个《越狱》里的演员导致我一开始猜错了方向orz 后半段很精彩 慢镜头稍微多了点
看完了很生气。看其他烂片会觉得好笑，但这个看完了就是觉得生气。
前半段女主好聪明，后半段开始主角们的不死之身。
逻辑有点混乱，正派和反派都死于话多，变态杀手是亮点
真是烂出天际了，越看越烂。看到40分的时候是2星，看到76分钟再次打开豆瓣改成1星。
