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".
普普通通，特效做的还可以，但是不怎么好看，被恐怖片推荐安利过来的，结果一点也不恐怖……无语了，国产网大的进步空间还很大
理念貌似先锋，实则内容很难看，属于是概念性电影，甚是无聊
真相在最后。中国大陆网大拍成这样就可以了。
我看不懂，但我大受震撼。已经雷老师又脱衣服了。
网络电影的质量都这么高了？！
最后，让我们别忘了提一提克里斯丁斯图尔特，全程抽搐式的尴尬表演，跟谁站一块都被碾爆的演技，让人困惑这位毫无表演天赋的蕾丝边到底是怎么红到现在的。
的确是被名字耽误的好片，同一件事通过不同人的嘴里说出来，就成了罗生门。
不让成精，故事峰会路转到合规。
大家都说柯南博格喜欢玩Bodyhorror那一套，赛博格和身体在现世代的隐喻，以及人类社会对子宫千百年的迷恋，都构成了再造/重造/重组这样的恋物癖式。说实话，当天首映我真睡得很香，戛纳连续两年选这种类型的片子，会不会让人审美疲劳啊？
“我到底在国产鬼片里期待什么呢-1”除此之外故事完整气氛到位，民俗捉妖桥段也很过瘾（ps.好多打着两星三星的实质好评，这是什么含金量2333
最后，让我们别忘了提一提克里斯丁斯图尔特，全程抽搐式的尴尬表演，跟谁站一块都被碾爆的演技，让人困惑这位毫无表演天赋的蕾丝边到底是怎么红到现在的。
概念大于情节，心理扭曲的刺激大于视觉观感的刺激；一场身体痛苦的艺术表演
我说怎么这么难看，那么垃圾，原来和“钛”一个德性。
引用-“被捂嘴也要把实话说明白的情怀”
最近两年网大电影的质量越来越好，一出“罗生门”故事，每个版本讲的都还不错！可惜结尾有点故弄玄虚或者强行圆满的意思…
文艺话语一段接着一段，看得一愣一愣的，奇观嗷，身体奇观，就是切得太痛了，而且还恶心
编剧是很不错的，整个故事完整，深度可以，就是人物塑造的有点差意思，导致有些反转认不清楚人。故事很好，就是导演水平欠佳，演员演技有些地方还是有些尬，特效乍一看还可以，多了就是很假。如果有大投资，这个剧本再完善下，多半小时剧情可以拍的更好。至少没有快进很舒服的看完了全集，比现在很多院线电影强多了
别被这个名字骗了，这片真的不错，剧情都能圆回来。
再一次将身体置于概念中心，柯南伯格大胆构想并呈现了一则混沌寓言，意在通往多个维度的繁复思辨。借由角色之口，柯南伯格一点点地描述着创作的理念和愿景，同时亦保持了清醒的自反头脑。而这样一个高概念未来世界的建构，不仅赋予他更多空间以插入个人观点（如将对身体的入侵改造与性作紧密联系），也让他得以深入探讨人类进化的方向与伦理等一系列问题。政府与资本的暗中操控，作为一层尖锐的现实元素，潜伏许久后猝然显露，于是艺术家的最终选择，反抗派的可能去向，都成为了耐人寻味之处。
不让成精，故事峰会路转到合规。
