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".
可能是这些年看过的最难看的漫威。。。演员演的不错，就是故事实在是。。。
观感又变态又恶心，也不是很悬疑，恐怖也还好，女主妈和女主真是一步错步步错，弟弟和那没有用的老爸纯纯工具人。
3分
让我想起了一次不太愉快的上海之旅。订好酒店，拿上拍摄用具，买好戏剧票，还见了朋友。本来以为可以拍个很好的“纪录片”。结果遇到台风，在酒店里整整住了七天。这七天不是在泡澡就是看凤凰卫视。
一般还不错 没什么亮点
有点乏味 想拔升高度但是没有那种以小见大的明显意义
并没有很热血，一般，男主这个演员天生有一种老实人做黑道的感觉，就委委屈屈的，又可以很狠，反正一切都是被逼的，要么踩在脚下，要么登顶。
黑帮片史上最大的冤种男主，本来能在发小和老大之间选一个的，结果因为自己的心软和犹豫，都死了，还死了新儿子和老情人，自己也崩溃走向大海，就无语。这种人混哪门子黑社会啊，老实在釜山打渔不好吗？？
这样的黑帮争斗确实很繁琐每个人人都在想办法活下去中间又掺杂一点道义
完美生活的假象与少女成长的痛苦与好奇，虽然有点不太贴合但还是缝合起来了。只不过孵化这个意向的指代太过明显，简直不能算是隐喻。在这个立意下丧失了恐怖趣味或悬疑元素，观众仿佛也是在配合一场演出。
Jared Leto气质其实挺适合这个角色的，至少没选错人。他本身的优势就是脸部精致，但是片中具有了超能力后，每次愤怒脸就会变成猿人一样，严重 破坏了观感。马特·史密斯（Matt Smith）的反派脸部改变就更丑了，真的不忍目睹。特效看起来有点粗糙。
脏活一直干却没地位小人物反叛上位的老套路，拍出来一点不热血，还不如改名叫九岩，不非得小说名字。剪辑上，剧情有点不通畅
喜欢北欧电影不解释恶为什么存在，如何形成，它就是自然的一部分，生命的一部分，善恶都是人自以为是的分类。
话说：谁在生活中没有羡慕嫉妒恨呢？当淋漓尽致的实现放大时候，可以后悔收回吗？做个善良的人着实并不容易啊！
节奏很稳但剧情很无聊。没有一个元素是令人惊喜的。
【2022】36:分两次看完，实在不咋的，不推荐浪费时间。有句台词很有印象“这个世界能赢的不是优秀的人，而是混蛋。”你别说，还真是那么一回事儿，最起码你身边不缺这样的混蛋。
本來覺得是一部滿無腦的黑幫片，但……後面劇情很可以~
主题有点新意 但逻辑有点混乱 这傻鸟的攻击毫无针对性 女孩也就傻不拉几的照顾她…鸟头的道具感比较强 剧情很弱 最后妈妈的大鼻涕绝了
剧情100%都能猜到不带一丝偏差的，不过这是靠吸血的真·蝙蝠侠啊。
去过釜山，想看看片中釜山的风景。片子着实有些一般，故事、节奏等都有不少问题，看得人不来情绪。
