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".
有点儿意思，最后一个「嘘」总结全片：真作假时假亦真。柄本佑天然大冤种。
这个结尾也太大快人心了吧！干得漂亮！哈哈哈哈
都是喜欢的演员 黑木华 柄本佑 奈绪 悬疑的剧情也很逼真 似真似假 原谅与宽恕无关 都是自己的选择 坚持自己才重要
太烂了，幸好没引进。荷兰弟版蜘蛛侠可以不用再拍了。
为了清除记忆？你蜘蛛侠凭什么有清除别人记忆的权利？？？所有人能自由选择记忆吗，这件事通过民主流程了吗，这就是赤裸裸的魔法专制
即使是那样也还是吵不起来，这样的温柔真的还好吗？🤔
冲着两位女演员和精彩的预告来看，但预告即全部，因为前面太拖沓直接将预告给我带来的兴奋消磨殆尽，前一个小时的事真的不如预告扩充到二十分钟来得有效。后面的反转在已有很多悬疑佳片的衬托下也没那么惊艳，唯一让人爽快的只有渣男必须死的复仇成功的既定剧情安排。这片压缩到一个小时我都能给个4.5，两个小时真的2.5都多。建议日影加快叙事速度，不要什么片都要加日式小清新。
本片的实际标题应该是，蜘蛛侠：巨婴无归•圣母显灵•千年魔法打不过高中几何数学，史传奇连夜改名为艾兰图灵•为了推进剧情，梅空赴死•三虫相聚，精心雕琢的笑点居然是擦边球•格温实惨，人在地下埋，鞭尸天上来•打不过反派，那就强行治愈他们，绿魔蜥蜴齐落泪，背后原因令人暖心•兜兜转转回到原点，失忆才是真解药，漫威或将开启肥皂剧宇宙•彼得帕克醒醒，钢铁侠已经竞走三年了，史传奇也不想当你新爹•美高教育奇迹，人人都录MIT。
🙄实在是难看至极，就连加菲接住MJ那里三秒钟的演技都比May死了之后蜘蛛侠的哭脸到位……
想起了我的致命妻子，这个则更含蓄，不过非常好奇教车的老师到底什么态度？是真的还是漫画内容？太好奇了
我一直还蛮喜欢这种戏中戏的形式，巅峰应该就是欧容的《登堂入室》。截止黑木华带着驾校教练要回家与丈夫见面，笔力还是十分精彩的。后面的戏，可能是太满了，少了些趣味。
單方面的「我要修好你」——像個執迷精神病藥物的體制。一切都是你內裡的化學物在作祟，一切都只是生理分泌。藥要硬食，食過就重回正軌。誰管有幾多是體制與文化使然？誰管幾多是合符本性？心裡一直期望綠魔以死來證明自己的完整、證明命運的不可逆。結果被「治好」了的綠魔，也不見得比分裂著的他來得有多快樂。許多人說蜘蛛俠三代同堂看了會哭，如果有天反派可以像個人般好好贏一次，我想那時我哭泣的機會才會來到。
一个简单的故事能讲这么久😂，全剧唯一的高潮就是最后的亲吻和出走
妻子巧妙的复仇及通过漫画进行的虚虚实实的叙事很亮眼，但是节奏有点难，情感也有点铺垫不够显得平淡。不过柄木佑的演技很不错，当他听见新谷说妻子希望给自己分担的时候的内疚的神情一下子感染到我，电影打7分，好听的片尾曲就加1分。
歌不错，这片子80分钟搞定，为毛要俩小时？？现在的电影能不能对节奏和时长要求高一点啦..这里面小三太反类型了反出sb感
蛮有意思的 柄本佑的出轨男像大冤种 就好笑
比现实更实的漫画在对生活的重复之中夺取了诠释的所有权力，一种轻盈的摆荡和反复跨越，这里女性的伎俩把男人耍得团团转。这种面纱本身是对男人的诱饵，不断让你猜猜看；而对于女人来说又是无足轻重，是随时可以丢掉的（就像作者的名字让给你就好了，我有我自己的享乐），在了解了规则之后，决定不再和你玩了，而是对规则的戏耍。本以为黑木华不太能演这种片子的，但是意外好！（黑木华和柄本佑都好好看。我果然喜欢看起来汗津津脏兮兮的男人，笑。）
之前看了预告就蛮想看的，几个演员也都很喜欢，这种慢慢的调子也可以静下心来看下去。最喜欢的是结局，女主没有原谅男主，复仇成功。不懂为什么既要出轨又希望能保持和妻子的关系。这部柄本佑的几个镜头到真的觉得和柄本时生很像。
2022.04.23 三星半。看到介绍感觉有点好笑找来看 真真假假 漫画和现实虚实结合 薛定谔的不伦 有点意思。一直都没法get黑木华的颜 奈绪演的满眼只有工作的编辑真的太有趣了 完全没把男人当回事。最后往向副驾的那一眼 嗯～
奈绪真的神似优呀，憨憨又やる気満々，就算是第三者也让人恨不起来。这才是真的大女主爽文吧hhh，一个老公而已，妻子和第三者都没那么在乎啦。
