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".
又名《布鲁斯·韦恩的罗夏日记》。写实超英风，文艺青年蝙。 摄影很牛，雨中哥谭既复古又赛博朋克。音乐魔性，除了主BGM，本片非常热衷使用循环段落来做配乐/音效，看完保准脑子里嗡嗡嗡嗡响。 如果作为硬汉派侦探电影不算合格。这个故事根本没必要如此拖沓，有些环节慢但没有抽丝剥茧感，有些关键转折点又很降智，突然自己就招了要你啥用。 剥去超英题材的幻想色彩而置入现实框架，本身是值得尝试的，我一度觉得这版蝙蝠侠和《小丑》联动天作之合。但如果老爷是个蹩脚侦探、没钱也没科技的旧贵族、时而有气无力时而无能狂怒的嗑药般的烟熏妆男，（传递给我的）情感主调甚至是焦虑和抑郁，同时却能成为“正义英雄”、“复仇使者”，那可太不合现实了。 总体像锅套IP皮的大杂烩。一位普通到没有过人之处的蝙蝠侠。拍挺特别下次别拍了。
一部以《小丑》风格为底色的蝙蝠侠。视听以黑色电影为基础在三小时内缓缓推进，充满侦探悬疑色彩却缺乏本格推理的爽感，遍布压抑悲怆的心理感受却塞进不太合时宜的飙车戏感情戏与“正义号召”。但仍旧是“好看”的，甚至是文艺的。完全抛弃掉了传统超英片中的复仇快感、英雄义气，而塑造了一位如此忧郁、冷峻、低调、落魄、凄惨，隐于乱世而苦苦追寻真相与正义的蝙蝠侠形象。很难得也很大胆，牺牲很多也构造出很多。#纪念我第一次看大片的零点首映#
罪案一环扣一环，一步接一步，内容那么满也多亏片长这么长，慢慢沉浸。就是谜语人的谜语我都没瞧仔细，甚至字幕会转移人注意力又不太帮助理解谜语，没有给观众思考的时间。毕竟重推理的话，还是需要一些解谜爽感才对味。
蝙蝠侠的故事太适合作为时代的注脚，此次推理探案中的冲突对立隐喻于资本社会错综复杂的结构性政治现实危局，深度介入腐败交易与党争构陷的当下命题。
反正一定还会看第二遍所以第一遍评价就可以随便写
我觉得DC走这样的风格总体路子是没错的。不过票房上很可能不行。很难想象还有人可以再诺兰的蝙蝠侠之下另辟蹊径，嫩牛五方不用下海了，希望DC这个宇宙慢慢重新构建起来。
有着当今红色影片所极度缺乏的温吞与细腻，好处是更加愿意尝试去贴近人物、走近历史现实，坏处是容易睡着。看完觉得舞剧改编确实是很现代，很出色，我又很想买年末的演出票了。 [2021彩色修复版]
Rob Pattinson的蝙蝠侠是个摇滚明星
（看过的旁友都说好）就感觉蝙蝠侠故事里的反派都格外有魅力，反派的行动都是替天行道，锄强扶弱，不造蝙蝠侠在维护个锤子，仿佛一个富二代多年考不上编制，只能夜里抱公务员大腿。猫女超靓，哈利贝瑞后继有人。雨夜城市阴暗面非常贴合DC气质。
2017年冬错过今天才补上。十七年里质量最高的地下谍战片。导演的优势在不带强硬的革命观念，多了革命柔情，中秋圆月、革命情谊、夫妻情父子情，虽建立在意识党派好坏之上但真实生动。也是建国后大多影片被观念宣传遮蔽的最宝贵的部分。宏伟壮阔又绵密，从1938到1949电台纵向串联年代横向勾连国共日三方地下工作，内部主次分明节奏有序。转场方式多样不重复。国民党上海和延安两个地域空间的特点把握准确。最后一部分感人至深，王苹创新造诣，片名放最后，所有情感推向高潮更深刻动人。
革命题材中数一数二的佳作。各方面都很优秀，剪接的技巧尤其明显，所有演员分寸拿捏得都很准。孙道临塑造的这个形象，是中国电影史上最成功的形象之一。王苹，原来是大导演，而且是女导演。
节奏很舒缓很老派，不像是这个年代的电影更像有上个世纪的风范，但并不觉得很漫长，只是正反派都缺少一点魅力，神探狄仁杰辛苦了，为国为民的。
（看过的旁友都说好）就感觉蝙蝠侠故事里的反派都格外有魅力，反派的行动都是替天行道，锄强扶弱，不造蝙蝠侠在维护个锤子，仿佛一个富二代多年考不上编制，只能夜里抱公务员大腿。猫女超靓，哈利贝瑞后继有人。雨夜城市阴暗面非常贴合DC气质。
成为经典也是情有可原，纯以剧作论有几分好莱坞类型片的风范。孙道临穿军装怎么看怎么别扭，一换上长袍立马就风度翩翩了。
【8.0+】真正的DC，既是Detective故事，又有Comic质感。颗粒+暗色调+虚焦，用现代都市背景演绎出了最具古典气质的蝙蝠侠。说了那么多次黑，而这一部真正把蝙蝠侠“成为黑暗本身”的那种令人胆寒的气质拍了出来，只用了序幕十分钟。而作为正义的反面，谜语人则更隐匿、更怪异，比黑暗本身更深不可测。诡异的装束、精密的布局，刻画出了不输《七宗罪》的阴冷犯罪气质。哥谭市没有光明，只有昏黄与灰暗，四种颜色概括了一切罪恶，红与黑的对撞也点燃人们对正义的信念。复仇只能带来罪恶的循环，暗夜中的微火才是指引道路的光。
有没有一种可能，百特曼专心接管集团管理好基金会这样他们就没有机会洗黑钱了？谜语人500个影分身#
修复后的效果真棒。国共日三方情报战，主要精神是反对投降的民族主义，适合当下的宣传任务。孙道临的表演远比其他人松弛，特别像吴京在当下主旋律中的松弛状态，长相也像。
虽然也没有那么好，但比侠影之谜不是强到姥姥家去了？
b站看的有字幕版本 弹幕里都在夸孙道临帅 受刑时的从容不迫和坚持 以前的人是真的爱国爱x
考虑到拍摄的时间是1958年，这样的艺术性和技术效果还是过硬的。
