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".
纽约都变成新南非或者新底特律了，续集也就只能搬到还有点原来美国样子的中西部小镇去拍。即便如此，政治正确的魔爪还是无处不在，它才是应该被抓的那个最大鬼。
★★☆ 2016年的性轉版重啟，失敗，整部影片完全陷在原版的框架裡，儼然一部沒有新鮮元素的鬧劇。2021的兒童版重啟，不敢說成功了，至少成功了一部分，雖然與其說是喜劇，更像兒童冒險片，不過結構編排、細節伏筆還是能看出有創作誠意在，賣了情懷卻又沒有完全賣，我尤其喜歡電影的文戲部分，非常之Jason Reitman，當然，以上誇獎只給前兩幕。
那个胖鬼还挺可爱的。12岁女主将来可成大器！
喜欢《捉鬼敢死队》前两部电影的观众不容错过！片尾的致敬与缅怀令人感动…
很不错啊，长镜头运动画面都能达到水准。唯一的毛病就是这车厢里怎么好像杀不完，一个劲往外冒。

#TIFFSecretMovieClub2021# 盲盒抽到了下周要上映的院线片，还是大IP的sequel,真是有点哭笑不得的意味。电影是标准的family friendly爆米花片，然而在故事的development上的确是合格的，特别是有些段落还挺cult,平衡了超自然主题和喜剧元素，在对原片pay tribute的同时也算是成功重新开启了这个IP。选Mckenna Grace绝对这次reboot最正确的决定，个人的charisma让我可以从三星改到四星。p.s.:两个post-credit scenes（第二个要等字幕结束）感觉更像是对原作粉丝的福利
标准的儿童片套路，没看过老版，单看这个没情怀，没情节，没奇观，完全得不到乐趣
完全是为了看麦肯娜那个小女孩一直看到结尾的。太漂亮了还有个性。故事真美什么，还感觉有点乱。
全片有种斯皮尔伯格电影那种童真夹杂怪奇的趣味。不过几个小孩的演绎就只有小美女是亮眼的，其它几个小孩存在感太弱，看不到情感和成长。另外反派塑造相当于无，几位大咖也都是打一下酱油，略显失望。结尾大战处理的相当潦草无趣，完全为了刷情怀了。只能当尚可的好莱坞爆米花电影看。
作为爽片几乎无可挑剔，精彩的动作设计和几乎无尿点的剧情推进都算得上一流水准。至于剧情嘛……爽就完事了还在乎那些干嘛
6.0/10 分。初看，蓝光。1984年大热电影《捉鬼敢死队》的续集，致敬篇。。。剧情普普通通吧，适合粉丝看，还有儿童。小孩子挺有灵气的。我还没看过前面三部《捉鬼敢死队》，等以后有空再看了。。。最后有两个彩蛋。
得益于摄影师的无情铁手何体力，这所谓一镜到底代入感太强，一直为阿金斯捏一把汗。打斗没有一人在前几人围观的那种被吐槽一个一个送人头，加上综合格斗的一些动作安排，觉得Seal真是训练有素，真是有一颗大心脏。另一个人York也让人印象深刻。爽片！
可能想走一点惊悚路线，把前半段的节奏拖得太慢了。小女主不错，很撑得住。
小麦短发又染成了褐色，一下子认不出来了。整体还是很欢乐的，特效也做得很复古，很贴近这个系列的80年代氛围。
萬萬沒想到索尼今年除了搬出蜘蛛人3代同堂這個大情懷之外，本片也是情懷做好做滿，超乎預期的喜歡，傑森瑞特曼超前達成續集任務，背景很現代整部片卻如同80年代般復古，大愛80年代復古風配樂，比爾默瑞、丹艾克羅伊德等老成員全都回歸，甚至連安妮波茲、雪歌尼薇佛都回來客串。作為正宗續集，某方面來說也是魔鬼剋星系列的三代同堂，新世代屁孩抓鬼，舊世代老班底回來幫抬轎，伊凡瑞特曼導不動了，兒子傑森瑞特曼沒漏氣，汲取前2集復古精髓，結合現代背景，上演一場正宗復古情懷大秀，雖然保羅費格拍的2016年重啟版也不錯，但是正宗續集才是我想看到的魔鬼剋星電影！當然整體並不完美，有很多地方都簡單化處理，但是濃濃的80年代情懷再復刻，很享受也很喜歡。私心可以給到4.5，但理性點就暫定4吧，早知道就把前2集再拿出來看一次了哈哈
单亲妈妈没有存款，和两个孩子租房子住。什么课呀，每天都看电影，还不是看主旋律爱国教育片。驾照都没考过，开车这么猛，技术挺好的。女儿的笑话一点都不好笑。
一镜到底毫无尿点，枪战很到位，就是画面有点抖
小成本 可以了 要啥自行车啊 突突突就行了
