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".
这是个啥...说好听了中二...又是为了流星看的
个人是很喜欢这种小故事组成的电影的。用蹩脚的韩语啃完生肉。有韩国传统的，有借鉴梗的，也有很有新意的。总体来说是值得的。
仔细琢磨还是挺有意思 暗戳戳地放冷箭的感觉 但我几乎快睡着一定是因为起得太早🤭
不行，非要学欧美日本那种几乎已经成熟的低成本短片合集方式。还有这片子跟首尔有什么关系吗，不如叫《乡村怪谈》吧，太土了
同类型里面不算出彩的。没看过漫画，白麻那个角色感觉太硬凹大姐头感了
剧本像是编剧着急着赶紧拿钱走人（但也并没有折损太多幽默感），中田秀夫倒是良心大放送搞了个类型片买一得三。
整体来说还不错，几个短故事很好地把都市怪谈的主题诠释了，就是其中几位爱豆不怕找不到工作嘛？那个眼镜男 真的给我造成了一些心理阴影
说烧脑不至于 感觉整部电影都是开胃小菜
白毛的流星撑着我看完一段真人丛林cs+一段抽乌龟。。。日影堕落到无可救药
冷肃的色调，萧条的小镇，这是我喜欢的基调。但除了基调，影片的故事却讲得平平。为了让小男孩父亲进化而弄了个好奇心超重的校长去送人头；为了和小男孩获得共情而为女主强行插入家暴史；为了让女主最后小宇宙爆发提供理论支持而设定弱智传说；而且这个形似《黑森灵》的怪物魔化后还能分清敌我，不但对小男孩秋毫不犯，还老想着带走他全家团聚……最无法理解的是，至亲的哥哥深受重伤，女主竟然不是想着将哥哥送去医院，而是载着奄奄一息的哥哥跑去废弃矿坑寻找被鹿魔带走的小男孩！？最后弄个《裂口女》式的结局，毫无疑问是为拍摄续集埋下伏笔，这是好莱坞的一贯尿性。
没有斗智斗勇的感觉
颜值片完全是，看他们那么中二，还是挺爽的，流星的这个角色感觉跟熊猫饲养员一样hhh三浦翔平也是年纪越大越帅，这个笔直笔直的身材，“啧”的时候太有型了！就是被绞刑有点惨，好好的科学家，被权力财力彻底毁掉了=L= 樱井海音虽然戏份很少但真是颜值好诶，最中二的还是本乡奏多，也就佐野勇斗还算是个正常boy🤭
横滨流星还是很帅的嘿嘿
究极缝合怪，把之前日本那边的怪谈几乎缝了一遍，大部分情节一看开头就知道结尾了，基本是流于表面的恐怖，恐怖氛围营造不行，片荒可以看看
正在电影院看，快睡过去了。旁边都在玩手机。悲剧。
高度压缩版的小镇美剧，题材和方法都与之类似，没啥新意是肯定的，但还算保持了恐怖的样态。
說實話大家都很醜，而且最後大招是抽烏龜笑死我了。
5.18看的…测试一下这个评分系统，结果没了。看前5.5分，看完掉到4.9分了……
父权暴力摧残下，小男孩依旧维护其父弟，似乎可以看作是男权社会下「暴力统治」的延续与维护，而这种潜流下的继承依旧无止境，在当下非常流行（已成为流水线）的恐怖「宗教式」影音渲染下，其背后的价值导线也是一目了然的。
评分还是不能不信啊。
