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".
这部海报挺美的，演技都在线，剧情很治愈，还不错推荐观看
如黎巴嫩的树木扎根。
怕疫情电影院下线就赶紧来看首映了，原作老粉表示很满意！虽然没有西藏尼泊尔亚特兰蒂斯那种惊艳大地图，改编4的半原创剧本设计了拍卖场下水道沉船邬三个有点点小家子气的场景但是从布景到细节到调色就是内味儿！动作攀爬摩托艇也是内味儿！老伙计苏利文，黑皮女友克洛伊及她的姬友在还原的基础上还有点演员特色，倒是小蜘蛛演的就是他自己，但是内森山姆少年版还挺还原的！期待第二部和山姆老哥的屋顶跑酷和悬崖拉踩（笑）票房千万不要暴死啊
这开头有《速激》的味道。
不是起个跟游戏主角一样的名字就叫改编了……全片加起来没有纯黑给神海4剪的那个片尾MV好看。
福音小说，世上有很多很多像安琪这样深陷苦难中的女孩，却不会有那么多像迈克一样至真至爱的男人
一个经历后信仰纯粹，一个经历后放弃信仰又重拾。
没玩过游戏。电影本身就是标准的好莱坞流水线商业片，四平八稳没啥惊喜，剧本也很套路，和二三十年前的寻宝/冒险故事没差。所有人都跟过家家似的。圣家堂很美。荷兰弟都长到需要别人演他小时候的地步了，有点…hmmm感觉怪怪的。我总觉得他还是个kid，不管干什么都像装成熟大人的高中生，让人忍不住想撸一把他的头毛说句how cute然后自己该干嘛干嘛
作为夺宝电影和有游戏脚本在先，拍成这样也挺需要一定水平了...
3星，不过不失的经典游戏改编爆米花电影， 很多经典场景和寻宝怀旧的桥段。 虽说不太出彩但也没有雷的地方。
非游戏迷来看感觉挺像《夺宝奇兵3》+国际版《古董局中局》结合版
这片名翻译得啥呀。。
Dynamisme ludique, personnages sans relief, scénario simpliste fan service divertissant, en soit, adaptation passable qui remplit bien le cahier des charges? 2.5
我不需要真实，不需要符合逻辑，尽管是很老套的玛丽苏情节，但就是很打动人啊！至少很多年没看这一部电影哭得稀里哗啦了
妮娜都演妈妈了啊……89年和98年的差别，想当年吸血鬼日记，时代的眼泪啊。
非游戏党表示Just so-so。健身大王荷兰弟，存在感微弱的女主，以及年度最拉反派。前戏非常平庸，主创的着力点都放在高潮的飞机和船戏上了......标准的流水线动作A片。
特效飞机大战蛮精彩，但剧情推进节奏乖乖的，过程很多不合理的地方，人物之间的拉锯也不够张力，显得寡淡无聊……可以一看，但不能看得太认真。
刀不血刃，枪不见血，青少模式，收割全球。（3.5）
希望世界恢复到电影院有很多这样的爆米花电影的供人娱乐的快乐时光。
真鸡儿难看啊，这动作打的像屎，反派完全是慢动作，毫无美感，影片最好看的地方是开头的那个喝酒的妹子
