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".
啥意思 只要不被幻境困住 怪物就拿你没办法是吗😂很遵守规则的怪物 结局还是蛮爽的
女主是疯批，满嘴屎尿屁器官等！伪纪录片风格，只要挺住晃的镜头，其实还行！
永远都在把正面角色受害者弱智化，这样仿佛就合理很多，提升生存人类的智商平均值。
#1386【谷阿莫】這神秘石箱住著一隻擁有人臉和四隻手的怪物，下體甚至還有一口噁心大嘴…2021《戰慄公寓》BV1G34y1S7UY 2021/10/16；哄堂大孝
制作精良，但外来移民的主题或者女性的主题，都流于表面，没有深入，甚至还跑题了。
Appreciate it how old folktales refuse the simplistic black-or-white standards for morality and embrace the versatility of humanity.
这节奏实在不敢恭维，有点太拖沓了，剧情设置的有点问题。我觉得怪比故事更吸引人。
更别说是九年的老姐妹
前面太拖沓 全程3倍速看的，就怪物那段好看点，主要是怪物比较特别，有点克苏鲁风格
圣诞季电影又可以多一部了，Luke是很帅，但是我觉得Nike的纹身更棒🤣 @2022-02-12 18:53:22
氛圍感還是很強的，最後的怪物設定還是有驚喜的，但前一大半不夠飽滿，是真的有點看困～節奏沒有把握好～
有镜头被吓到，但是无头无尾不知道在讲些什么，而且镜头也太晃了，女主*话也太多了，感觉有点神智不清
2.5 后半越看越累，除了看女主嘴臭犯健以外也没什么亮点
温水煮青蛙，还是有可圈可点的地方。几次虚实剪辑很不错，还算有导演个人特点的。那个箱子太像圣斗士的圣衣箱了…最后女主应该开始招租，只限男性了吧…事实上箱子怪不挑食啊，对女性真是满满的恶意…啧啧啧
《片名诈骗》系列最新力作，名为《行车记录仪》，实际上是网络主播，相当部分戏码甚至不在车内。形式和细节上有一些亮点，比如网络直播评论区刷的弹幕、女主角的疯批MAGA老白右阴谋论者的嘴脸、血浆（和翔，对没看错，是翔，呕呕呕）也撒的足够多，但是整体剧本编排实在太糟了，节奏过慢，叙事不清，可以说整个过程是连环杀手片+超自然鬼片+邪教片三种恐怖片类型的大杂烩，不论是情节之间的过渡衔接还是女主最后的反杀逃生，都太过生硬，难称及格。如果说本片有啥价值，就是给大家赤裸裸展示了一下Rap文化到底是个什么样满的低俗玩意儿。
本来一分都不想给，没这选项。烂给烂它妈开门，烂到家了。冲着苏菲来博一乐结果被编剧给恶心到。是只知道布兰妮就觉得自己懂gay的小学生腐女写的剧本吧
anti-pc alt-right trollish horror，不得不说这个创意可以。
86分钟的电影为什么我觉得过得那么慢...这叙事实在是太闷了，没有看下去的欲望。熬到结尾emmm对是的，就是这样的，结束，再见
深刻，富有批判性，剖析社会与自我挣扎的同志作品已经有很多了。至少这一部给了一个温暖如春的圣诞欢乐结局，时不时还是需要一点这样的麻醉的
执行上可以给5星，相当respect。但这个剧情和整体的观影感受....可能过于edgy了吧，不喜欢。
