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".
变态充斥在美国的各个角落，这是美国人的劣根性，是不能回避的天性，邂逅并不一定会遇到白马王子和唐僧，也可能遇到汉尼拔。
很fresh的观感，联想到2000年代的一些电影。最后的部分可以更好。Daisy 真的好好看。Sebastian 终于接到好剧本！
毁坏这厨房。
食人魔，但是恋爱脑。
烂死了。。。。。。导演去拍宣传片好了。。。bgm像随便网易云搜索的一样
亲身经历过这段疫情的我，依旧毫无代入感。过于政治正确#三胎什么时候都不晚#
人啊，请鼓起心灵的勇气。
这部电影:把真事儿拍出虚假感
不愧是米其林大厨，食材品质很重要，可是这点肉够分吗？女主长相甜美，看起来很好吃的样子。难得有智勇双全，有颜值有脑子的主角，论补刀的重要性。
girls help girls 但首先先要把类似于ann这样的内鬼给踢出去/人肉做成这么浓油赤酱的西餐真的还会有人肉的味道吗？突然也开始好奇了/384演变态虽然没拔叔有感觉但也好帅
2022顺顺利利，平平安安。
6.5/10，节奏有些慢，题材和反转都不算新鲜，演技好评，极度恐惧之中又带着一丝诡异的欢乐，若不是带着手铐，“约会”竟然有一丝浪漫的感觉。无论是约会遇到的直男癌还是走夜路的害怕，关于女性在社会和约会中风险非常真实；网络和现实世界都是最忌交浅言深的，不要轻易相信什么所谓的惊喜，在不了解一个人之前不要暴露太多个人信息，女主的小伙伴简直人间清醒。ps. 男性最大的罪恶大概是让女性对抗女性。
典型的好莱坞女性主义创作，对照《前程似锦的女孩》。在故事转向黑暗前看起来真像是清新无害的爱情片，谈谈情，跳跳舞。尤其在前期完全未知剧情信息的背景下突然变奏还是有惊到，不过很快被塞包的表演带跑，过分夸张和放飞的演绎会不时破坏影片的气质。结尾收得太过拖沓，即使又想在女性主义的表达上翻出新的内容，但还是在一次次精疲力竭的撕咬对抗下疲态尽显。
哇靠，里面的男人都是人渣，这电影拍的，戾气好重。
穿过寒冬拥抱你…………简直每分每秒都是穿过大荧幕杀了我 烂到令人痛心 烂到匪夷所思 烂到我都不知道这种电影到底有什么存在的必要。豆瓣到底什么时候能打负星啊？
各种暖亮色调，轻快配乐以及令人新鲜得特写镜头。翻词条一看，果然是一个女导演。
虽然和昨天的《肉罢不能》同为“食人”题材，但是这部拍的应该叫小清新对抗小鲜肉，女主长得像安妮海瑟薇，男主是帅帅的冬兵赛巴斯提安。
一塌糊涂，如坐针毡，烂得发吐。不是说不能快乐，只是说，为什么苦难可以消解得这么轻易和理所当然啊。
有笑有泪，非常适合带全家老小去看，边上一大叔小孩都在擦泪
