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".
虽则生硬，更多诚意
虽然是1.5倍速，但最起码真的是看下去了，看完了～剧情还不错
咱们讲道理，只能说在“中国网络大电影”、“中国恐怖片”这个阵营里，还不错，但这么多营销号非要碰瓷《罗生门》，是不是就有点过分了？《山村狐妻》的剧作，试图通过多视角的讲述还原一个乡野怪谈的真相，这种尝试是值得赞赏的，但剧作层面其实是没有实现这种野心的。一个很大的问题是，卖药人的“盗墓遇狐妻”与山匪的“道士客栈捉妖”这两个故事，在叙事节奏上是严重割裂的，以致于当老道士告诉小道士“十五年后这妖怪会来找你”，恍惚间我还以为我看了五十多分钟才刚看个开头？对比《罗生门》就会发现，罗生门的剧作是非常巧妙的，虽然看似是三个人在重复同一件事，但戏剧性是在递进的，观众的情绪不断被往前推进，走向最终高潮。而《山村狐妻》的叙事节奏则没有这种推进性。当然作为网大，这种尝试还是值得鼓励，希望越做越好。
还比较惊喜的一部网大吧，故事架构不错，有始有终，就是最后反转结局太有功夫的意味了，难免老套，全剧最清醒是大眼，如果一开始第一重结局编成划船的是掉落悬崖流落街头的养子可能更合理一点。PS:男主有点点眼熟。
题材太浮躁，剧本不扎实，演员太用力，元素多杂糅，后期冷不丁，服道崭新新。导演可以试着拍短剧，一百多分钟目前还掌控不了。
网大其实拍的就是太浮夸了，故事其实挺丰满的
可以的，人性描写的很真实，穷凶极恶大概就是这个意思
咋说呢，我看的电影是一个东西，影评是另一个东西，我的理解和影评没有任何关系
和幸色的一居室有点类似，男二居然死了，一笔带过震惊我，本来还以为可以抢救一下的
国产恐怖片也可以戴着镣铐跳稍微有点水平的舞，但太多巨人肩膀上的影子了。
结尾出来我才知道，阿文的确不是一个正常的男人，他是有缺陷的，但他的爱一直很完整。
白鸟玉季好灵啊。没看过原作的我面对电影的两个半小时，一直在等，等剧情讲述男主究竟是不是恋童癖这件事。等到最后才有释然的感觉，但是那个抹番茄酱的镜头又把男主拉回来，好美又让人毛骨悚然。两个说不出事情真相的人互相慰藉的故事，有点意思又差点意思。
很像天下霸唱的风格，经典故事结构，几个人外出然后互相讲故事，或补充或颠覆。
回归了白鱼镇水准，人之恶和虚伪比起鬼狐更加可怕
网络电影制作里，剧本算是很扎实了！罗生门式的结构，阐述人性的泯灭！恐怖悬疑的故事，加上配乐特效，虽然有瑕疵，但整体质量勉强及格！人恶人怕天不怕，人善人欺天不欺，善恶到头终有报！结尾处的全部角色，梦境还是现实？自由观众评判！不过个人觉得最后定格小女孩的脸变为狐狸，会不会更好？
“罗生门”式的中国恐怖故事，意外地好看。剧情精彩，演技尚可，灵异部分的设定带感，还捎带手对人性进行了一把讽刺，四星表示支持！查了一下编剧是崔走召，《我当阴阳先生那几年》的作者，原来如此。希望网大都往这个方向卷。
在審核體制下做出的最大的努力，故事結構做的也不錯用羅生門的方式講述同一個故事，雖然故事走向結局早就能預料到，但也算是故事完整節奏流暢了， 對村民的升米恩斗米仇描述也是淋漓盡致了
认真讲故事的国产鬼片，类似罗生门的叙事，全程没鬼，有的只是丑陋的人心

李相日还是很会拍的，毕竟要把这么长的一本小说概括成1个半小时的电影还是很有难度的。故事大概是讲清楚了，当然遗憾的点肯定也是有的。比如对更纱和文之间的关系，感觉电影里更偏向将它刻画成恋人，但原著明显不是，是互相依赖互相成全，就像小说里说的世界上没有一个词语能够正确形容的关系。还有一个遗憾，更纱身边的那种令人窒息的善意和关怀，这方面的描述感觉明显是不够的。丝丝和桃李演技真的可以了，看到选角时还挺不安的，实际看了感觉很惊喜，很符合小说里的人物形象，虽然总体也就这样了，不如原著深刻，建议还是看原著。
