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".
3.5 难得女主智商在线 演技也灵 钉枪那里的表情戏看得我幻肢都疼麻了
智者不入爱河啊智者不入爱河~
结尾一段才紧凑了起来 靠近男人果然是不行 会变得不幸 关键时刻还是得靠姐妹
约炮对女性来说真是很有风险 看来骗钱骗感情的还是好的了 不然遇到这种好恐怖 更何况还有生病怀孕的风险 也太难了 对比之下男的未免过于轻松
拍得一般，主题加一星。这样的电影可以多一些，姑娘们都看一看。无论最后是否被烧成菜吃掉，女人在这个世界上任人鱼肉的下场都不会改变，多的是比被吃掉更惨的下场，而且很多人自顾不暇，不会幸运到还有个闺蜜来救你。有所提防总是没错的，毕竟就连今朝的爱情陷阱都比过去致命了。
3.5，演技在线节奏挺好，不用太推敲剧情逻辑，爆米花电影看看还是挺不错的
不要和陌生人说话！还挺好看的！男的真的不行……
尖叫声太多了！剧情感觉也不是很紧凑，反转真的很俗套，说白了不是2022的水平，审美疲劳了已经。但女主是亚裔，感觉还是想支持一下
血腥又不够血腥，惊悚也不太惊悚，最后girls help girls的主旨也在节奏突然加快的结尾没有彰显出来，使得全片尽显平庸。
Fresh.2022.2160p.WEB-DL.x265.10bit.HDR.DDP5.1.Atmos-NOGRP
情节紧凑不拖沓，规规矩矩。就是头上订了个钉子结果滑倒那里也太好笑了，直接笑出声。😂
亚裔演员表现得不错哦，里面各种反转也很精彩，应该是最近为数不多的好片子了。
选角结构太种族主义了。亚裔是哑裔，白女白男主角，黑人token. 连delivery man都有清朝大辫子。
套路电影，警察最后扑街，幸存者最后时刻战斗力爆表
不知道谁是凶手 这点蛮好的 镜头的代入感也是很强 但是后面的结局 以及内容的延展烂大街了
我们的爱最新鲜，保留原味，浅尝一遍闭上眼情绪特别…真应该找梁咏琪给这部电影唱主题曲。
电影主人公的人设设定很不错，没有一些常见的stereotype刻板印象的人设，而且场景安排得也不错一个被暴风雪封堵无法行动的游客中心（很奇怪这个游客中心都没有工作人员的吗？），情节设定也比较有意思，但是实话实说拍得真的不吸引人，看着有点闷，不过还在最后十几分钟还算是有点小高能，特别是那个钉子枪把钉子打进女主的手腕里钉在墙上然后又把手拔出来，看着瘆人，不过也就那么一点小惊喜吧。
2.5 看着竟没有紧张感 敢情那包药成了生命值增进剂 这之后秒变小强 冷和失血都没能带走女主 最后还跟姐姐和好了
好一部政治正确的电影，最终胜出的是亚裔，嗯。
四星给表演，画质不咋地，不是电影调色而是电子录像既视感，节奏非常好，起码在画质不咋地的同时，是一部正经电影！有一部囚禁片，好像叫什么逆转或者反转的，也不错，调味的房间，还有一部食人裁缝，不咋地，偏文艺的，鼩鼱的巢穴，要好看一些，总之电影不值得四星，但表演完全罩得住！
