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".
到最后主角和怪兽的父亲们也没出现，不可能真的遇到海难了吧，感觉会有第二部！
陈词滥调陈词滥调藕 无奈医生和她女票太hot了啊~~~
一个犹太拳击手的传记电影，在集中营他揍死了七十多个同胞只为自己能苟活下来，这种野蛮的求生欲却是来自于对初恋情人的执念。过程很残忍，结局很无语。
都什么年代了，这种套路的电影十年前就有了吧
小怪兽很可爱，但是一直爹来爹去的让人很难共鸣
立意不错，只要是跟二战有关的题材我都喜欢，黑白镜头很有质感，男主那个脸充满了内疚、惭愧与隐忍。BTW，最后三拍子的片尾曲很是震撼人心，虽然只是钢琴与提琴的对话…
强行励志，强行煽情，套路老套，中间一度看得要睡着了，一个小时还没进入高潮，结尾又戛然而止。一直以为金博和雷本会回来，但最后也没交代他俩的去向。
剧本很老套，但是还是很好看的，每个人的成功都是不可复制的，坚持本我，完善本我，每个人都可以获得自己的成功！
出乎意料的难看，及格线以下的作品。故事线谈不上精彩，转折也很生硬，如同小学生的流水账作文！
只为了过来看看Ari，那几幅剧照就是精华所在了。
技术性的不满是可以再剪几刀，有些镜头拉太长并没有情感留白或者余韵不尽的收效，但剪辑又并没有很糟糕，好几次闪回都很出色，制造了时空穿梭所特有的信息提醒功能，但最出色的必定是题材：二战幸存者故事永远可以警示人性中的残忍和坚韧。残忍的是“斗兽场”式的擂台、纳粹党卫军拿犹太人取乐以及拳击赛败者直接枪毙的嗜血，让人明白军官与拳击手之间的关系并不是“农夫与蛇”，而是冰冷的权力威吓，拳击手并没有讨价还价的空间、树林里射向德国军官的子弹是自卫且正义的子弹；坚韧则是哈夫特与扬在擂台上的交锋（“不要死在德国人手里”），集中营的犹太人之间分享的那些悲伤的笑话则构成了面对惨痛现实的自救，而莉亚和米利亚姆都是他的一生所幸与一生所爱，前者是活下来的动力，后者令千疮百孔的灵魂复又长出新肉。幸存者并无法抹除受害者烙印。
似在过去和现在的夹缝中生存的人，注定在未来受苦
剧情过于简单，逻辑生硬，但孩子看的开心就好
开头看到WWE电影公司简直惊呆哈哈哈哈谁不爱wwe呢
不知道为什么，这个电影非常直给，情感浮于表面，基本节奏属于，这一秒宣布什么事，下一秒这个事就做成了，没有什么坎坷，特别是一开始的角斗场，总觉得复刻得非常差劲，那种现场的沸腾，主持人的激情吼叫，角斗士的凶猛完全没表现出来，谁是反派完全看不出来，总之就是觉得看完无法被满足
题材和剧情都很俗套，无聊的时候还是可以看的
艾伦 你出生的时候
“chicken”和胸肌舞也太好笑了【可以理解为神烦警探和发展受阻的彩蛋】。半成品电影只能靠挪用卡司出演的剧集笑点来制造彩蛋，这不就是我的人生吗。
想要在集中营里活下来是多么的艰难～人生总有不圆满～
dancing？ seriously？ 正片还没预告片燃。怪不得放弃院线提档到线上了。流水线产物，像是在搞笑，该渲染共情的一个没抓
