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".
情感非常细腻。几个小朋友演的真好，尤其喜欢两个小女孩陪小男孩第一天去学校一起吃“毒面包”那段。低空飞行的片段很紧张，第一次看到这样的视角，飞速略过的海岸和城市屋顶，哥本哈根的建筑都长很像，难以分辨。结尾略显仓促但转念一想，导演可能并不想像战争片那样讲述完整的轰炸和救援，就连轰炸任务委派也是飞行员一个人查看沙盘时的背景音，所以导演的视角一直放在单独的人身上。而最后小男孩因为责任而敢于直面阴影，小女孩则在第一次轰炸侥幸生还之后想回家，另一个小女孩就没那么幸运了。。
记录在战争中被误杀的平民和儿童，很少见的题材，有几处都令人震撼：开头飞机扫射至车中几个去赴宴的美女和司机的惨死。被埋在地下室废墟中无法挪动的修女和女孩的对话，小女孩声音那么平静，却慢慢被涨高的水淹至无声。。。
是枝裕和会将任何故事变为是枝裕和的调子。
2022年5月18日观看。了解一段真实的历史。
结构松散，但最后三分之一部分实属震撼。视听也很出色。希望世界和平！
所以总得来说，密室逃生、灵异加心理困境，每个都想沾一下，结果就拍出来既不好看，又满是bug。一般我都会觉得很多恐怖片评分太低，而这部，我觉得评分太高了。
我们有祂们所说的傲慢、嫉妒、暴怒、懒惰、贪婪、暴食和色欲
战争无关正义与非正义，平民都躲不开，是无辜的牺牲品。
丹麦二战影片。“战争中无辜的只能是贫民！”真实事件改编，英国皇家空军的误炸，造成哥本哈根一所教会学校学生老师的无辜死亡。结合当下的俄乌战争，又有多少老百姓在战火之中失去家园，妻离子散家破人亡痛苦的泪水与呼喊历历在目……推荐《我眼中的阴影》
最后一幕还致敬了罗拉快跑
后半段情绪像洪水一样倾斜，演员表现力太强了
奇异博士的导演，这部自己也参与了编剧。预算很低的制作，但赚翻了！！节奏很特别的一部片，也正是因为节奏让此片出彩，别具一格。但，剧作上还是老套的，甚至极其陈旧。Mason Thames的演出加分许多，McGraw稍微过了，Ethan Hawke则减分，他的声音实在不适合饰演变态，大家都太熟悉了。片子的后半段有些部分悬疑效果挺好，特别是开锁那一段，值得三星。这个片子真的是个很好的例子，电影充满了各种可能性，成功拍出来一部也是。

看完确实让人失望的感慨：“就这？”怪奇物语的大火已经把这种复古、儿童、恐怖的题材定义到一个新的高度，而本片在此框架下则显得十分无趣，伊桑霍克的角色也太过于酱油，电影内核青春成长以及外部的通灵也都十分老套，甚至有一种大数据剧本的廉价观感。拍的其实还不错，只是故事真的毫无新意且老套，在一个半小时的时长之内不管是孩子还是反派都过多的缺少人物描绘和动机，都成为为了满足电影结局而生凑起来的工具罢了。
最後為導彈和制裁買單的 永遠是築起城市與國那群確切的 有血有肉的「人」啊 小Emma雙目無神 靜靜地頂著一頭炮灰喝粥的樣子 也許就是鼓吹戰爭之人推起的牆 最後會砸向的「你我」
孩子应该是战争的底线。想想就这业务水平，浪费多枚炸弹一个机群人力，本来想炸纳粹但炸了学校，纳粹一个没死死了一大群孩子。当年伦敦被炸的昏天黑地，这所谓皇家x军队也就这点水平了。
核心是青少年的成长，但真的太无聊了！可惜了伊桑霍克，这都要的啥啊～
前期太拖沓，40分钟才进入正题，而后的故事也讲的并不顺畅，叙事节奏古怪，只是最后10几分钟的力度把这片救回来了。即使如此，这3星给的还是有些勉强。妹妹演的好。
可不可以不要戰爭了，小女孩只是想回家吃一碗粥而已
“二战”中的丹麦不战而降，成为德军一个前沿基地。战争快结束之际，英国皇家空军奉命轰炸德军在丹麦的总部。一架皇家空军战机低空飞行时失事，摔到一所学校后爆炸，僚机误以为这所学校就是攻击目标，一顿狂轰烂炸，老师、修女、孩子们就这样遭遇灾难。这是丹麦人民的悲剧，也是皇家空军的耻辱！
