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".
啊呀，怎么会有这么矛盾的人物画像，前期弗兰克的pants发言实在是太多了，多到我无法相信怎么就吻上了呢。。话说莉莉不是要拿花去拯救苍生吗，最后还是败给爱情了呗舍弃全世界救一个人呗，没有说这样不好的意思纯粹觉得和前面的人设有悖，弗兰克本来像个丧尸一样活着突然又要牺牲自己一样。
真的有点感慨，日本人自己不再拍黑帮片了，结果美国人拍了一部这样日本元素满满的黑帮复仇片～画面质感，调色和构图都属于上乘水准；霓虹迷乱的东京夜生活，音乐却一点都不嘈杂混乱，伍迪等人的戏份中规中矩，有很好的背景可信度，但是女主温斯蒂还真没想到也投入到打女行列里来，缺乏好的动作指导，卖力但显得松软～就像季节未到的大闸蟹，虚有其表。柿子脸丸子头的钢牙妹，说是黑帮豪门千金，真的不信～剧情方面还是“致敬式”的老套，背叛与清理门户，倒是挺东方思维的，尼基塔×日本黑帮的混搭，能看～
类似《勇敢者的游戏》，剧本完成度还可以吧，也没有多大惊喜，奔来如果引进的话，以强森得受欢迎度，也是挺适合一家人观看的，不过因为疫情以及迪士尼的骚操作，也是悬。不过艾米莉是真的越来越好看了，真奇怪。
当然各种血浆乱飞还是很爽就是了。。。
无功无过,非常平的一部丛林探险商业类型片, 长相和作派都有点像岳云鹏的反派德国王子印象较深. 类似游戏过关的情节,熟悉的配方,女性意识觉醒和GAY平权也是最近较流行的元素,不过说教意味还是很明显.
因为探险寻宝的电影近年稀缺，很多年没有《夺宝奇兵》《国家宝藏》之类好看的电影，所以还是挺期待的。整体看下来，虽然冒险部分不过不失，但全片还是过于留俗于表面，强森和艾米丽的爱情CP真的是强凑，其实两人不谈爱情，更适合一起冒险的朋友线路，因此当两个人亲在一起时真的是想吐槽哈哈哈哈。
3星半 好看啊 要鼓励多拍这种类型的片啊 迪士尼还是迪士尼 cool
轻松娱乐的流水线爆米花电影，电影工业化成熟的集中体现，包括演技都开始流水化也是挺令人意外的。没有期待全家人看一看还是挺有乐趣的，仅此而已。
我太喜欢了，特效很不错，剧情就那样，
非常复（老）古（套）的冒险片 有几幕特别古墓 艾米丽布朗特可以原地演劳拉 选角我很满意 笑点也在线 还有迪士尼式浪漫 这种片请每年多来几部 如果在电影院观影可以有五星
从《所罗门王的宝藏》到《印第安纳琼斯》，《古墓丽影》……这类探险喜剧类的片子已经超级疲态，勇男美女+二货的组合，这类剧我已经不知道该关注什么点了。PS:打架时候的BGM的重金属挺好听
兒童版的《加勒比海盜》+《奪寶奇兵》，雖然劇情簡單了一點但是特效真的不錯算得上一流的商業片。個人覺得巨石強森還是更適合演娛樂探險片而不是僵硬的動作片
激流勇进也算是我最爱的迪斯尼ride之一了
喜欢电影基调的配色，不喜欢口音和男主角。真做成一个乐园项目算了，做电影真的就没必要
故事很迪斯尼，色彩缤纷但是疲倦，女主可爱。
达到预期的片子，剧情虽然设计的很扯但是成片还是让人能看的很过瘾的。属于不用动脑子可以看的很开心的合家欢作品。冒险元素做的很到位，喜剧要素不缺，卡司阵容豪华，画面精致配乐优秀，还很努力加入了LGTBT要素，就挺合格的迪士尼作品。Emily和Rock的演技没得挑，小白厅的表演是意外惊喜（总算雪了冰雪奇缘的耻辱了哈哈哈）。反正就不要以太高的标准去要求的话，还能看的挺开心的一个片子吧~顺带一提其实丛林奇航本身也算是我很喜欢的迪士尼项目，因为它真的很不惊险咳咳咳。下次去迪士尼再去坐一次咯~
欢迎观看《加勒比海盗》姐妹篇，《亚马逊河盗》
三星半吧，非常流水线，非常迪士尼，很久没看到这种燃烧经费的大制作了。等影院上了要去看个imax 3d，那么多蛇蛇肯定很带感。德国小王子过于抢戏，除大猫猫外全片最佳。
欢快的爆米花电影，巨石强森现在这类题材的片子实在拍得太多了，可以搞一个大杂脍放在一起算了，孩子们还是喜欢这类有点魔幻题材的冒险历险记。
我说怎么这么眼熟，原来是迪士尼的项目改编的…好吧，爆米花电影，没啥惊喜啦…
