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".
五个故事毫无联系点，但都是怪诞！十分⚡️十分地怪诞！！⚡️ 全程一定要以录像带视角看，不然你会一头雾水看完
真是眼瞎了。全程我都以为自己在看玛格罗比跟贾坤菲尼克斯。结果竟是两个完全不同的演员
看到很多提前预警，加上一向神烦布拉纳，没打算看这片来的，但是毕竟久未远行了，想在大银幕上看看埃及，知道是做出来的视效，也还是想看。布拉纳当然一直那么爱现，但比在东方快车里的超级过度表演还是略有收敛的。剧本改得呀，简直了，每个人的出现都那么牵强，尤其波洛居然会去帮操纵欲老母亲暗中考察儿子的女朋友，而且波洛居然会和那样没出息的妈宝啃老富二代成为好朋友，这都是不可接受的设定啊！最后活下来的，一个个儿出身纯正，肤色性向天然政治正确，快赶上文革时候的出身论三突出了。还是再看一遍78版吧，那是真埃及，真阿婆啊。
虽然是老故事，但看女主很能打，还是去兴隆湖看了
比Branagh《东方快车》氛围营造要更像侦探片了，可黑人情节强行塞入得太过火了，生怕ZZ立场不够鲜明，重点是还跟主线基本没任何相关性，爱情的立论空虚得很爆炸。唯一亮点是Tom Bateman的演出。
这个超级中二的波罗是怎么回事，，里面硬塞的那些政治正确又是怎么回事。。最后一枪两个人一起死甚至有些好笑！！我感觉到了布拉纳快冲出天际，令人恶心的油腻和自恋！！！
真的好难看。笑死，看的时候分还是6分，看完过来就是5.9分，感觉还会掉。
前半段尚有加朵的颜能看（虽然78版的颜还略胜加朵），后半段数次看到裂开，跪求国际大导演肯尼斯布拉纳放过阿加莎克里斯蒂
我本来就是打算先看新版再看老版，因为新版太烂了很容易过段时间忘记，所以我不清楚原著最后Simon和Jacqueline有没有直接现场殉情，我反正看着挺尬的，还有其他角色，Andrew被侦探说一下就直接认了，莫名其妙就推出来石头的问题。
這類型的片子也出現無聊到我看不下去的了 贊
充斥着自我满足的加戏和政治正确的意淫，本该好好处理的情节则四分五裂，添油加醋，难以自圆其说。啃泥对阿加莎完全误解之处正在于自作聪明地改掉最后一个死者拆散了那对旁观爱之悲剧后获得新生的情侣。波洛的故事从来不完全关于他，侦探只是折射万象，照出真相的镜子。可惜原作对人物的温柔在此变成了啃泥无尽的自恋。希望他老人家早日放过阿加莎并停止浪费胶片。
真希望有高人能教教肯尼思·布拉纳怎么拍电影。
准备花钱买票的朋友，改成花钱买书吧！［尼罗河上的惨案］比《尼罗河上的惨案》里描写的尼罗河上的惨案还惨！
一个严肃的时代缩影，被改拍得像是儿戏，就像在金字塔上放风筝一样毫无意义
新版与时俱进地在挨个排查时加了同性恋和种族歧视议题，奈何仍然全员酱油。艾米汉莫演得太差，假到连我这个没看过原著和老版的人不用推理就能猜到凶手，能让这种表演通过，导演难辞其咎，嚯忘了导演是比波洛更自恋的人了，他才不关心别人的存在感呢。
太烘托爱了。就这个扣题之紧是高考满分的程度……女人啊 真好看。身材一个比一个卷。
能拍得跟《东方快车》一样无聊也真是不容易。政治都这么正确了居然没想起带个黄种人上船么。加朵美还是美的。
混乱缩编故事角色，却坚持套用原作诡计，不得不将串联诡计最精妙的台词及动作尴尬展示时有多不自在，丢失波洛正义灵魂的假劳伦斯奥利弗就有多膨胀。魔改不是罪，但仅凭令波洛与阿婆笔下最下流的角色之一产生情感火花，编剧就罪无可恕。推理小说并非不可冒犯的严肃文学，可任何妄图用小聪明挑战大布局的尝试都和这部乏味电影一样可笑。
「Corinthians had it wrong on every point. Love isn't patient or kind. It envies and boasts and doesn't care who gets mowed down. It angers, it is irritable, it keeps record of every transgression against it, and good god, it fails. Sure as a face ages, love fails.」
有人众筹把这个波洛探长丢进尼罗河里吗？我出十块，不能再多了。
