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".
画面美如油画，蝙蝠侠还处于emo丧父丧母阶段，还在寻找所谓正义对自己来说是什么意思；但真的不需要三个小时，如果是电视剧可能会有耐心一些，而且整体感觉特别像看别人直播蝙蝠侠游戏通关
一个蝙蝠侠的侦探故事，黑色电影的气质，下雨潮湿阴暗的哥谭，迷雾重重，蝙蝠侠从黑暗中走出来，光影的美，渗透到极致的配乐，视听享受。这是一个年轻愤怒的蝙蝠侠，他冲动，也会因为父亲的犯错而崩塌，他孤独，也有害怕失去的人，他从一个为复仇打击罪犯的复仇使者蜕变成守护哥谭的蝙蝠侠，行走于黑暗，用炬火为落入黑暗的人带来光明。我即复仇，我即黑夜，我是蝙蝠侠。
重启的这部变成侦探片我是没想到的，另外没想到的还有这部片莫名其妙出现的感情戏。整个第三幕的设计让我有点不懂，围绕蝙蝠侠的危机铺陈没有到让观众觉得这是千钧一发的时刻。
雖然有起源部分但是用案件來對照布魯歲的身世的確不錯，而且他還沒能走出陰霾的脆弱和不安，從而產生既容易懷疑又容易相信的徬徨和堅定都拿捏得恰到好處。戈登反而有點憨憨地，精彩在那邊大小聲像隻浣熊（喂—）。阿福被女傭人喊潘尼沃夫先生的時候立刻想到之前角色影集的特工英姿（睡女王也算😂），雖然本片戲份不多但是剛剛好。但事後想起來覺得好笑的是，貝爾蝙在車裡喊蕾秋，羅伯蝙在車裡喊阿福⋯⋯（肥本蝙就是喊瑪莎了吧，不過不在車裡）看到花邊新聞說男主角跟導演在片場打架到底真假啊？這個陣容我想看續集耶！也很期待貝瑞柯根版的joker！還有這版貓女我也喜歡（原本就喜歡柔伊克拉維茲，在big little lies很亮眼），就是她最後把貓放機車箱把我嚇到，貓咪會被機車聲嚇到應激吧！！
老派漫画+歌剧般的镜头美炸了，追逐企鹅的飙车戏戳中我G点，最爱肌肉车，睡了半小时实在太棒了！
这是一个资产阶级下的忧郁冷酷的硬汉侦探蝙蝠侠逐渐成长为一个舍己救人为哥谭人民服务的无产阶级雷锋的故事。导演表示，要拍黑色侦探电影，先得学《七宗罪》给它下雨，对，潮湿起来，阴郁起来。然后安排上《教父》里的意大利黑帮，bravo，意大利口音学起来，夜总会舞起来。然后小道具《电锯惊魂》里的口塞可以戴上。惊天大阴谋嘛《洛城机密》可以安排上，还不够?《搏击俱乐部》再补上。至于风格嘛，就得慢!人物慢慢动，镜头慢慢走，对话也得慢慢讲，按0.75倍速拍，看谁还敢1 .5倍刷视频，憋不死你们!最后别忘了ZZ正确，猫女，戈登警长，女市长，好人全得是少数族群，坏人嘛，肯定得清一色白人。坏了，蝙蝠侠还是白的，算了，让他涂黑脸吧，发扬下好莱坞的老传统。
画面镜头很完美，配乐很连贯，很有沉浸感。故事剧情差强人意，觉得谜语人动机没有讲清楚，总感觉差一下子。最出戏的是猫女的的面具... 城乡结合部土匪
拍的好哇，大家都有恨，有愤怒！美式傻侦探，哐哐打乱拳，夜火雨哥谭，猜猜我是谁！
72. 主体不同又共享的“后窗”式窥视：透过取景器放大城市，进入家庭、阶级，透过现象看本质，猜谜底，沉重的呼吸声对应脚步声。穿透窗户也是打开未知魔盒：窗后有养猫的女孩，再阴郁的哥特吸血男孩也会感受到twilight时的温暖；同时真相也是危险的，打开每个家庭都是阅读见不得光的莎翁伦理历史，某时你发现（也许在梦里）瞥见的男孩其实是过去的自己。大瘟疫、大洪水、大方舟...天降下庶民共同遭受的灾难（或也都是人祸），而任何先驱和精英都不再值得信任，到第七天人们还是得靠一个不怎么自信和强悍的angsty emo boy来扮演持灯分海者，他告诉大家《黑暗骑士》说得对，人们必须看到正义光明面，复仇者不可。屋顶有时像双人广播剧的案桌，一瞥纽约侦探黑色电影的暗影。总之，是在诺兰披风阴影下迈出的非常不坚定的一步。
名侦探韦恩：人民的名义 3/3 @ Shaw Lido
Things will get worse before it gets better :( （有那么些时候觉得Batman的costume好中二）（Bruce的扮相如同罗伯特帕丁森在大都会里的感觉just进入lockdown没办法剪头…
不要以为从头到尾运用了黑暗的色调阴冷的氛围低沉的声音，逼格就高了，整个故事还是很平庸。
最后蝙蝠侠举着火炬带领一群人往前走的画面拍得太美了，但是这彩蛋我真是等了个寂寞（我：哥谭市为什么天天在下雨？我友：他们哥谭市是没有白天吗？
老派漫画+歌剧般的镜头美炸了，追逐企鹅的飙车戏戳中我G点，最爱肌肉车，睡了半小时实在太棒了！
你好我要打满分。马丁斯科塞斯老爹你瞧瞧，你要的cinema来了。
重启的这部变成侦探片我是没想到的，另外没想到的还有这部片莫名其妙出现的感情戏。整个第三幕的设计让我有点不懂，围绕蝙蝠侠的危机铺陈没有到让观众觉得这是千钧一发的时刻。
这部算是给我看懂重要的那几个人物关系了，好！但是本以为走硬派老派侦探风格，结果推理还是不够硬。
罗伯特帕丁森的咽炎好像没有本阿弗莱克那么严重 后者明显需要喝点蜂蜜调理一下
史上最黑暗蝙蝠侠电影，包括字面意义上的黑暗，卸下面具后的布鲁斯韦恩更像忧郁王子而非富豪，孜孜不倦的跟随警察一起探案也让这版的蝙蝠侠更亲民、更接地气。电影除了赋予蝙蝠侠独特气质外，最出色的莫过于画面构图了，实在太绝了，当然时长要是再压缩点会更好
真是一则警世寓言。
