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".
（众所周知，能在中国上映的“恐怖片”，都不叫恐怖片）
终于知道为什么能在中国上了，因为这好像是一部恐怖片，又完全不是一部恐怖片…[C+]
整体上不怎么恐怖，甚至有点搞笑是怎么回事？监狱变身那一段，把胳膊硬往后掰，对不起，我真的笑了，哈哈。
温哥出品，必属精品，但是温哥为了迎合中国市场二次剪辑的作品，必属残次品。
感觉不舒服为什么不去医院呢？姐妹情深。该死的家暴男，真讨厌。力量，敏捷，速度，魔法全能型恶魔。奖杯质量真好。可以直接从网上找到家庭住址，太不安全了吧。警局连杀，血腥暴力，节奏很快。
版权归作者所有，任何形式转载请联系作者。
7分：男警察战斗力也太强了吧，一路追到地下，Gabriel钻哪里他就钻哪里，身手矫健。最后来一句fuck me， 我默默在屏幕前狠狠点头😅译名有剧透嫌疑，中间看到ta把母亲绑架就知道不是鬼片了，鬼不搞绑架这一套的。没想到是被恐怖片感动的一次观影体验，没有血缘关系的家人依然是家人，兜兜转转就在眼前。前面惊悚恐怖、中间打戏（打戏真的蛮搞笑，甚至想起信条）和反转，最后温情结尾，忽略掉“妹妹为什么敢只身一人前往阴森废弃医院找资料，竟然还毫无阻拦找到了，找到之后不报警反而和妈妈看起录像带”这些解释不通的小细节，整体还是中等偏上的作品。确实和招魂不一样，温子仁没骗人。
同样是心理惊悚片，温子仁还是稳得一b[赞]而且这次升级到动作片了，完整版最后简直血Ｘ暴Ｘ到极致，爽感也到了极致。情节没有大问题，小bug自动脑补呗；节奏和气氛那是驾轻就熟的牛。就是大Boss没有对手，缺些看点。续集应该就会有棋逢对手的戏吧，有点等不及了～
算我少见多怪？今年能有一部比得上这部？目前还没看到。最后二十分钟开始就high到爆了啊。场景调度有几场戏都挺棒的啊。还是温子仁厉害。《天才少女》的小女孩要长大了呀，千万不要长歪了，I pray……
巴哥不少，但看片过程能让人沉浸里面没想那么多，不过电影一结束就各种冒出来了。
看前面还在感慨温子仁怎么开始走下坡路了，看最后三十分钟，卧槽，不愧是你温子仁。最后的警察局大战，恍惚中以为又看到一个女版约翰威克，这战力就是让她加入DC宇宙都不成问题
对于铅黄电影的一次致敬？对于习惯温子仁之前温情家庭恐怖片的人应该不会习惯，毕竟风格迥异，我也不喜欢，因为好无聊，也不纯正
远没有之前宣传那样有足够的Giallo气息，整体还是常规的恐怖片套路，一体双生的设定也是老生常谈，更多还是温子仁新的尝试吧。警察局屠杀高潮戏倒是很爽，招招封喉致人死地实在过瘾。
PS：一点想法，关于加百列天生的奇异神力和变态人格，介于其是母亲被强奸生下的孩子，受胎之时便将母亲作为受害者一方的无助愤恨与加害者一方即父亲的淫邪凶恶一并作为遗传因子的一部分承继下来。
温子仁怎么可能就这？其实还行，只不过跟之前的《死寂》完全是一样的结构和叙事风格啊？
看恐怖片的经验并不多，导演一直“误导”着观众，到后段解谜时才让人恍然大悟，然而除了那个揭示谜底的镜头之外，基本上没被吓到，不过整体氛围的营造还是可以的，楼道追逐与警署大屠杀这几场戏的调度也有点意思。7
自从看了预告之后就降低期待值了，没想到还是有点失望。说它是恐怖片吧，到处是用烂了的jump scare，场景转换的特效看着也很魔幻。说它是悬疑片吧，由于之前看过《篮子里的恶魔》所以看了开头就猜到八成结局了，导致观影体验很一般，不过整体镜头调度和配乐水准依然在线。
确实不如之前几部吓人，但是还算很用心，毕竟好久没有回归恐怖片老本行了，以及这个表演真的好费演员。
拍的像美恐，又名生育与血缘执念引发的血案；麦肯娜·格瑞丝染掉了金发依旧是病娇童年女专业户；玩转人体奇迹不如《双瞳》来得吓人，那才是拆尼斯刻在骨子里的恐惧。而且惊悚设定让我想起我童年阴影《白发魔女传》里吴镇宇那个反派角色，小时候已经被吓过了！西方恐怖片对我而言=有冇mezco、neca搞玩具周边的余地？这部显然不大行了，温子仁宇宙安娜贝尔永远一番了。以及，别看删减版，把每场虐杀最精彩的血腥部分还有医院录像里加百列的幼态真实模样都删了。
