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".
无聊，很无聊，无聊到我喜欢的阵容都让我拉了进度条，到最后半个小时坚持不下去…
主角这是凤凰女的节奏？在众多变种人中鹤立鸡群？感觉再拍下去真的就成X战警了。
最终幼年遭遇过性侵的女孩喜欢上了一个不会进行性生活的男孩
4/5 看完完全能预料到两极分化的口碑，导演给观众许多留白的想象空间，一切都靠观众通过演员的演绎和镜头隐藏的细节去揣摩和体会。你心里想得是什么，看到的就是什么。更纱和佐伯文的关系旁人无法理解，也很难与别人分享，两人身上都背负着沉重的阴影。白鸟玉季，这个小女孩真的很灵，和桃李对戏完全不输（果然topcoat都是我喜欢的演员），流星意外地适合这个角色，是我看过他最好的一次表演。
画面很美。
脱衣服给我惊到，再次被松坂桃李为艺术献身的伟大精神震撼到👍🏻
比较差，剧情啰嗦，和1差距挺大的。里面中文讲的乱七八糟很出戏。也就上海的女反派比较带感
女主子役演得很好…
都是喜欢的演员，丝丝和流星都进步好大。凪良老师的原作确实太厉害了。
两个半小时，犹犹豫豫、拖拖拉拉，角色单薄暧昧。丝丝有突破但还欠点火候，眼波流动还是很灵！其他两位，就脸谱化瞪眼睛。
看了好多评价说魔改啥的 完蛋了 我发现我好像很吃李相日这一套 一般电影超过两个小时我都不太忍得了 这片子两个半小时我还觉得拍短了 丝丝演技我一直很放心 村长跟流星是我平时觉得演演偶像剧跟漫改够用的演技 片子里着实被惊艳 感觉这个导演很会调教演员 看到很多人对结尾村长摸白鸟嘴唇那段不适 我觉得太合适不过了 哪怕是炼铜也及时克制住了的文 在我这里最多最多也只能被算作半个“加害者”
男女主两个人都长了嘴却偏偏不愿意开口
22_086。其实我真的不喜欢李相日，无论是《恶人》还是《怒》，电影都拍得太长但同时他又将一些书里本来重要的情节删掉。没看过小说，单就电影来讲，可能很久没看日本电影，觉得广濑铃的演技进步了，演她童年的女孩也很不错，看好她。松坂真的还可以吧。横滨流星是真的不行啊我都看笑了。音乐不错，有些画面也不错，但两个半小时真的太长了，可以删掉半小时吧
片尾以为会出来结果藏在彩蛋
两小时三十分钟，看的相当疲惫。分两天看完…而且有一段还加快了播放速度。直到看完才发现，这是我喜欢的那类故事，事情也不是我原来以为的那样。
动作不够动作
为什么要把一个简单的故事讲得这么碎，增加悬疑要素并不代表会让这个故事更深刻，相反拉大了与观众的距离，原著的主题也没有传达好，感觉导演没读懂原著，但是原著也不难理解啊…
这部电影其实节奏挺慢的，有些地方也可以说是拖沓，但我恰好在深夜里观看，能静下心来看完。
李相日还真是偏爱有缺陷又敏感的边缘人群，不过这一部的情绪总是上不来，就让人感觉有点磨叽且矫情。
导演拍的拖沓冗长，不明所以，成年演员都在梦游，一颗星只给子役
