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".
果然是“缘起”，穿插一战时期的历史人物，乐趣味很多。主角上天入地打不死感觉就是一战的007，就是看着欢乐吧，一个彩蛋看来还要有续集，那就该二战时期了。
电影很好看啊，这不是真正的历史，是站在英国人角度上的戏说，很有娱乐性，不必当真。
豆瓣评分为什么这么低？我觉得这个电影很精彩，恶搞了一下20世纪初欧洲那段乱七八糟莫名其妙的历史，一战，巴黎革命，苏联革命，都只是一个阴谋。俄国妖僧跳着华尔兹还是芭蕾打架那段最精彩，连我这种不懂舞蹈的都能看出来优美和华丽。这样的电影可以继续拍，把整个二十世纪的历史都串起来，二战，冷战啥的都串起来，那就精彩了。这一部的CULT风格稍显不足，犹记得第一部电影各种爆头血浆喷射的快感，可能是不想评级太低，到了这部血腥程度大幅减少了，稍显遗憾。不过也是，要还像第一部那样番茄酱满天飞的话也不可能在大屏幕上映了。
算是食之无味弃之可惜的典型，不得不承认这在当下看确实有看到一丝与现实重合的感觉，但是整体对历史走向的意淫式解读实在是不太聪明并且异想天开；随时可死的角色倒是没什么问题，与俄方奸细对打时的舞蹈算是唯一能看的动作戏了；最后黑人仆人对白人主角说类似“很高兴原来的您回来了”，主角紧接着就开始大杀四方，所以暴力才是真面目，和平主义只是一时的软弱，这段也算是有些讽刺性了。
德国愚蠢、美国猥琐、俄国阴险，只有大不列颠才是真汉子，真是把一战历史黑的不行.....
如果没有前面几部尤其是第一部的惊艳，这完全就是一普通的动作兼戏说历史片。前面几部是动作和设定方面脑洞大开，这部起源在这方面开了倒车，把脑洞全放在了对历史的戏说上。可惜戏说过头了。尤其是列宁听命于一个地下黑帮？凭为什么啊？有这实力还用得着嘛。彩蛋更是把希特勒作为列宁的亲密战友。疯了！
但那样的高尚地位
用优雅掩盖野蛮，并且时刻都在幻想自己还有日不落时期的荣光，UK说第二没人敢说第一。
我们祖先是一群可怕的人
什么煞笔玩意儿，气死我了，我有多喜欢第一部，就多恶心这一部。丧失了有趣只剩下假装的有趣和冗长的说教，混乱可笑的历史观价值观，我真的气死了。辛苦一帮叔伯大爷陪导演闹腾，但是真的太烂了。
突然想起有一次有人问张医生业余时间会干什么，他回答看无脑电视剧因为可以不动脑子不然太累了………我看这个电影就是同样的感受【。
马修沃恩原来之前不翻车都是因为不拍续集 拍了续集翻车两次一次跟头栽的比一次狠 瑞思拜
wtf…………………………………好诡异 伏地魔大人演些啥……
冗长无聊，勉强看完俄国妖僧的芭蕾舞之后就再也看不下去了，这个IP到此为止吧，别再狗尾续貂了！
萨维尔街的全英梅讲LORO PIANA不过是意大利最好的面料🤣所以我只对那条开司米围巾多少钱一条感兴趣，章小蕙写过一篇公众号吹的人间少有
对这个系列电影的期待，就是动作流畅爽快有新意，结果的确是。出乎意料的是，剧情以一战历史为蓝本，塑造了一个既熟悉又新奇的视角，而那些代入的角色里，也能使人会心一笑。结尾还真是搞，别害羞……😝
我对前半段的剧情一点问题都没有，甚至可以打出4星的评价。从将列宁作为牧羊人的手下之后，一切就不那么好看了，后半段也确实开始崩了。我不介意拿历史开玩笑，但这部电影中的玩笑没有任何意义，摸黑列宁不是没有，但是手法很高级，像红警中的尤里就是对于列宁的模仿，虽然我们知道那是列宁，我们打的也是列宁，但是能看出来游戏想要借尤里反应的东西是完全不一样的，而不是这种低俗的娱乐 。最后还将阿道夫和 列宁联系在一起，整个世界大局都是一场牧羊人手下的一盘棋，一场好大的阴谋论，这样的阴谋论下，就是为了突出金士曼的强悍以及特立独行。救世主般的形象生硬地出现在眼前。所以演员很好，但下次别拍了。
太难看了，期待了一年，怎么会写成这么一个前半段无聊后半段陈词滥调的剧本。反派是谁简直一看cast就能猜到，三段式的剧本在第一个小时的打斗之后就泄气，儿子的战场段落更是毫无意义。男主部分时候笨拙部分时候又身手矫健，男配女配都是工具人。反派杀手除了第一个疯子打斗段落很有新意，女杀手30秒就结束了。一星给最后片尾小枝的measure of a man。
记住了两句台词：1.名誉是别人对你的看法，性格是你的本色。2.你们是服务生还是英国人？
给人整不会了 现在商业片可以这么随便拍了吗
