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".
一直看导演把自己变成整个故事的核心，那么多卡司给他当配，就wtf……还有我觉得加朵就不太适合这个角色。
没看过原著但是不得不说电影的推理过程着实很仓促，突然就分析出来了。。。
布拉纳这个从骨子里就透着白人优越主义的自以为是大傻逼！是怎么敢把手伸向大侦探菠萝系列的？下一部就该是阳光下的罪恶了吧？他觉得年轻人不可能去翻老版的片子，所以他可以任意妄为的刷新改编？为保整治正确船上居然出现黑人？有色人种不过是摆设，最终还是要走下三路的，选角上还过得去吧！汉莫没疯逼被揭发之前还算可以撑起来，加朵有点太过女神范儿了，但这都不是重点！影片一个多小时开始入活！前面所谓铺垫实际则是请您欣赏特效玩乐风光片，快看我们有钱 有技术一切都升级了！命案后的调查把聊天收集线索变成激将无证据指控！从原著人设到表演给毁个稀碎，后面两起命案赶后面两起命案赶三关似的仓促，且呈现方式抓马至极，揭发高潮戏时空洞乏味，重场戏毫无你来我往精彩过招可言，对比78版的群戏简直差到火星上了！
看完后我妈让我把78版找出来重温。短评有限我就说演技，演员真拉胯，群戏方面还不如东快，并没有像米歇尔菲佛那样撑场面的演员，尽管这部也有安妮特贝宁这样的实力派但也发挥有限，之前觉得加朵选角正确，但高清镜头下的她满脸岁月痕迹，演技也很菜，气质比老版林内特差了十条街，汉莫像糊了十张葱油饼在脸上一样，看他大哭我差点在电影院笑出声，这两位实在太油腻了（杰奎琳稍微演得好些），也不喜欢那个黑妹，本来就是zzzq塞进来的，还一副我很牛又很美的样子但长得还没她妈好看，演布克那位长得好像费德勒，电影还很喜欢拿特写，但却没几个撑得住特写的演员，看到的都是他们满脸的皱纹而不是精湛的演技
加朵美如画，结尾太让人不痛快了！... :/
6.0/10 分。初看，蓝光。中规中矩吧。艾玛·麦基，《性爱自修室》，难怪这么眼熟。。。
不是
比东方快车的翻拍，多那么一点看头。加朵作为人人得而诛之的受害者，没演出坏来。黑人姐姐很会撩，但跟波罗毫无化学反应。劝导演早日悔改，不再自恋，不要再继续翻拍了
对前部东方快车的好评感到了怀疑，类似人物浮草的剧本杀，开始拖拉再紧赶任务。没什么好拍的就不用再拍这类型了……
更为精致考究的服化道具，对埃及尼罗河风光的绝美呈现，这些都是肯尼思版《尼罗河上的惨案》鲜明的特点，但并不是所有人都能去重现这部经典小说的昔日魅力，对节奏掌控的失衡，使电影前半段冗长乏味，而后半段也不过是凭靠原著故事的强撑，潦草的推理使昔日经典的探案变成了空有其表的花瓶。
大调度，风光美，蓝调好听，观光片感觉＞悬疑片，铺垫太长，导致后期疲软，但有我喜欢的梅芙，医生很sugar dady，我可以
还行，可以随意一看。不那么也不那么坏。只是，旧世界的故事真的是旧。jazz特别好听！开头的黑白片段更有趣一点。结尾可能是要去求爱这样的桥段没想到会有。导演经过上次的列车的历练，演技和拍摄能力都提高了，真是爱学习的优秀生！
警惕前任，无论爱还是不爱，前任在眼前，身心有危险。
Gal一点也没有可恨可爱的感觉，Armie倒是有种蠢到连杀人方法精神构思不出来的感觉。
黑妹让人很出戏，现在美国电影不放几个黑妹就不能拍了吗？
开头跳舞就把我尬住了，侦探的黄昏恋看的莫名其妙，可能为了突出主题爱吧
好难看啊，从头到尾love love love也不腻吗？太傻逼了……而且都加上种族同性议题，怎么还在两女追一丑男呢？令人不适。感觉都没东方快车谋杀案好
摄影真的棒，但前面铺垫也真的好无聊！一战揭秘男主身世那段虽然不算长，但也是拖节奏的。凶手是真的没惊喜（因为其他人比起这俩动机真的弱爆了），而且布克中枪后，汉莫完全没有下意识躲避怕伤到自己，其实这里已经暴露的很明显了。来豆瓣写短评的时候才发现女二原来不是玛格特罗比啊，你俩也太像了！导演能力确实有限，对《贝尔法斯特》更加不期待了。
女神好美，女同幸存，阿婆泉下莫怪，继续多拍多拍为敬，票价十五块IMAX版周六晚八点黄金场。
为什么疫情后的电影都做这么油腻，和波洛莫名其妙的感情戏一样反胃，肯爵士魔改你妈呢，调色像屎一样生怕不知道这是埃及，从头到尾泡在荷尔蒙里面，肯爵士把自己搞的像个美国土大款兴冲冲买了版权大布景大明星跟着拍。
