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".
类似“彗星来的那一夜”，不过没设什么悬念，表现很直白。故事还行，内容偏少。大概受限于预算，一般网大水准。
作为一部超低成本的国产电影，本片已经算很成功了。看得出来导演深受欧美惊悚片影响，《时空罪恶》，《恐怖游轮》，《彗星来的那一夜》这三部不知道他研究过多少遍，还顺便致敬了《闪灵》。叙事，演技，摄影都在水准之上，只是电影节奏太慢让我有点跑神，此类故事已经不算新了，基本上能猜到结局，场景也不多变，演员也就三个，拍到102分钟实在有些拖沓，如果能控制在80分钟左右也许看着会多一些娱乐性，节奏慢下来观众就容易去思考bug，这对科幻悬疑类，又是低成本的电影本身就没有好处。
3.5，声音没有做好，没有任何打光，演技一般般……除此之外，故事本身看上去还不错！虽然是见过的设定，还是不断被吸引深入进去。结尾也很好评，虽然是国产喜闻乐见的美好结局，可女主也迎来了自己的黑化。 被好莱坞买了翻拍，只要你故事写得好，就算是国产网大也不会被埋没！
如果没看过同类型题材的《彗星来的那一夜》，会觉得是个小惊喜。但是本片各方面都太粗糙了，包括演员的表演。据说好莱坞已经要翻拍了，剧本确实不错，可是各方面的执行都有不少问题，导致看片过程需要耐心，尤其是前半部分
低配彗星，剧情没有像彗星那么复杂，好在能自圆其说，但同样是低成本投资，这部在演员演技和台词功底上都有点不合格，只能算是一部勉强合格的作品
20天,小成本典范😂还有取景很漂亮,很多高空景~
导演很明显完全驾驭不了这种高概念题材的作品，全程尿点。
小成本电影来说算很不错了，满分十分的话给八分也没问题，但是我不太喜欢里面强行打破悬念的部分，所以后来只给到七分。
基本沿用了彗星来的那一夜设定，男主演的比女主好，整体质感还挺不错的，值得一看。
平行世界的设定并没有打破前辈的边界，剧情展开虽有一定创意，但还是在原地转圈，不过看在这是一部小成本网大，目前的发挥已经合格了。
整体来说，悬疑度还是感觉不是很够，剧本的精彩程度远远低于《彗星》，看前面基本就知道后面要发生什么事了。完成度尚可，但演员演技并不算很好。勉强及格的程度吧。
片子本身有很多问题，从制作层面看就很粗糙，两个主演能力有限，明显驾驭不了长片。其实与其用这种有一些表演经验的小演员，不如找一些新人来演也许会有惊喜。唯一能值得说的大概就只有剧本了。如果这个创意真是导演自己写出来没有借鉴别的作品，我觉得还是挺厉害的。希望好莱坞翻拍的话，能做的更好吧。
风景很漂亮，三人一台戏，演员演技还算在线，有点可惜的是大荧幕会放大一切，站在女主视角男主更像多重人格设定，如果男演员的表情和肢体语言能再丰富些就好了。
为了碗子来看的，可能之前看类似的片子比较多，没有什么突破的感觉，但是镜头和调色看得很舒服
主题真的算不错的一部作品，作为国内少有的科幻类悬疑作品，还是值得玩味的，篇幅不长，但也讲好了一个令人有兴趣的故事，平行时空碰撞的情况下，女主一次次的穿越寻找自己的家，不安笼罩着未知，崩溃还是坚强的咬牙坚持，随着不断前行，你是想停下来还是继续前进，只为找个家？当空间的一圈圈涟漪涤荡在你我身旁的时候，你会取代一个完美结局，还是会牺牲自我，只为让另一个自己活得开心呢？女主最后停在了幸福的彼岸，炸掉了噩梦般的出口，但我们呢？看完以后感觉导演在耳边悄悄说着“七床的，别睡了，你被发现了，这里不是你的家”
看新闻说阿尔迪斯·霍吉要演美版，片子做得还算不错的，导演编剧有花了些心思。
瑕不掩瑜，缺点还是存在的，但是我觉得整体故事性很强，演员演技也在线，不出戏。
2.5这么小的成本，这么少的演员可以出一个这样的片实属不易了，但是缺点确实也有很多，比如说片子的节奏太慢，剪太长了，模仿作，没讲完和模棱两可的结尾，形而电影。
如果是首尾呼应，中间的林场、会所都是女主昏迷时的梦境的话，剧本还是挺好的。不然的话，剧情漏洞太多。
低配版恐怖游轮、彗星来的那一夜，平行空间的设计永远拥有吸引力，更何况处女作能有这样的思考，难道不值得鼓励吗？
