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".
这是大家都熟悉的歌手兼演员戳爷主演的同性新片，电影里有很多镜头都是怼脸拍，但是戳爷的美貌依然让人炫目。
除了色调、troye的脸和歌以外都真的很不行啊，就这还能7.2？我拜托了……把一些青春片拍烂了的话题全部放进去一锅炖，故事节奏迷惑，跟印度哥毫无cp感。
不知奥胖看完作何感想，《奥赛罗》+《黑豹》
留白！要留白！不是让你搞音乐剧。布景、摄影加分。但实在不如《蜘蛛巢城》。
视觉撑起一分，太精致了！我没看过太多版本的麦克白，和前几年出的那部片子差不多，似乎都是想要放大原作的诗性，而不是剧的核心骨架。有点像一锅放了高级花椒和辣椒但是没有牛油的底料，总还是缺少些力道。是的，我又想吃火锅了。
这里面的丹泽尔华盛顿，表演是一种怼到我脸上的烂……前30分钟左右表现麦克白的犹疑与欲念交织，简直是一种可怕的摆烂式演法。乔尔科恩，不能打动大众，不能表达内涵，没有什么自己可说，无法丰富语法，不能推动技术，你在干嘛？？？？？？？
巫婆演得特别好，但是片子选角、表演、美术、摄影有严重的错置感。内容还是莎翁，但形式上却严重过载。说是看了部电影，其实是看了部戏剧，但仔细一琢磨我可能是看了个PPT（大误）
这里面的丹泽尔华盛顿，表演是一种怼到我脸上的烂……前30分钟左右表现麦克白的犹疑与欲念交织，简直是一种可怕的摆烂式演法。乔尔科恩，不能打动大众，不能表达内涵，没有什么自己可说，无法丰富语法，不能推动技术，你在干嘛？？？？？？？
一双崭新的白色匡威迎接全新的人生～戳爷帅的嘞～
看完的感觉就是很舒服，很流畅。不论是人设还是镜头色调都是棒。虽然也没有特别出众的地方。
刺杀侍卫时的内心
MV视感，看着很舒服，音乐也很舒服，印度小哥略显无聊。
用有色人种演员和不从属于任何历史时代的布景与服装来表现故事的超现实性，又以极具象征性的光线运用突出画面中的人物，呓语般的自言自语是人物的行为如同梦靥，从美学的角度上讲，这部电影可谓极具观赏性。
“我和乔丹在这里初吻”“他怎么了”“乔丹是个女孩”“我说的是你父亲”打败刻板印象
戳爷真的好可爱好适合，又是夏天，夏天真的是青春的集合
2022.01.30. 1）全员口音不统一，是最出戏地方。麦克白与其夫人在本片是【旅居苏格兰的美国佬】，让两位奥斯卡影帝影后用苏格兰口音讲台词，仿佛比让北京人学上海话还要困难；2）全片几乎没有product design：非常明显的棚拍、粗糙的小剧场话剧式的布景，除了个人特写镜头之外，电影感荡然无存。国王家宴就每个人给发了一杯酒，省钱省到家，看得无比尴尬（那些个夸“极简风”的，请问是认真的吗？）；3）口音垮台之余，表演上亦整体失准：麦克白夫人逼丈夫谋反的戏，两人像是在念台词、麦克白的黑化前后丹泽尔华盛顿的表演毫无变化。最令人期待的麦克白夫人夜游戏，科恩嫂演的更是泛善可陈。MacDuff在得知妻儿一家全部遇害时，在大特写的镜头下、僵硬的面部竟然挤不出一滴眼泪。全片看到我昏昏欲睡，大写的失望。
就是我看不懂，但是我很震撼的那种电影，光影美学非常上乘
极具默片韵味又不乏视觉想象的黑白影像，原味戏剧的舞台感成了风格实验/返祖的完美道场。
这是啥毫无观影乐趣的玩意儿？看一群大腕儿秀台词功底呢？就这布景，排成话剧不香吗，何苦制成电影还浪费一个黑白滤镜呢？
蓝色背包好看，做爱要戴套，除此之外没别的感觉了。
