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".
我快要笑死了哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈太搞笑了这部电影，虽然没什么深度但是好好笑哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈
这片比神秘海域还差了三个档次，神秘海域至少有特效有打斗
我快要笑死了哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈太搞笑了这部电影，虽然没什么深度但是好好笑哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈
除了皮特和波特，剧情也好，俩主角也好，就那样，且姐弟恋太违和了。
几乎没有任何意外的冒险大片，笑一笑消消暑还是蛮好的，唯一意外的是排片比七人乐队和隐入尘烟还少。
嗯符合烂片出好歌的定律 就是说 一把年纪了都别这么为难自己了好不好
不只是對《迷失Z城》的整蠱，更是真正意義的《改編劇本》；都知道好萊塢市況不好要拍探險片，不知道「天下難事、必作於易」，越簡單的越難拍好，不如把類型片瓶頸開誠布公來得合適；無法擺脫《魔力麥克》的查寧塔圖姆、《迷失Z城》製片人布拉德皮特、過氣影后桑德拉布洛克，通篇都是假惡搞、真懺悔⋯承認吧，異域風情不過是好萊塢掩蓋自身匱乏的遮羞布；Lost City，不是為了Lost and Found而存在，而是為遠離世俗，但見錢眼開卻以冒險精神自居的「斯皮爾伯格後世」又怎會認衰仔？
布拉德皮特客串那部分也太高光了吧
爱情动作喜剧电影嘛，别要求那么多。亮片Jumpsuit的弹性也太好了。
没有屁股！！！布拉德皮特世界性感之王！！！
电影院是个睡觉的好地方，看的是啥我已经不记得了。
3.5 stars. For Channing Tarik’s bod. And the funny lines.
冲着这卡司也要去看看/开头就来个搞笑版的反转再反转，三步不忘本行的钱老板出场太有喜感了，终于看到非苹果的笔记本了。丛林大冒险是我喜欢的题材，尽管老套了点。总体观感比较轻松愉快，比前段时间荷兰弟那部未绘制的地图好看一些。p.s. 片尾有彩蛋。
看的很开心，有冒险，有浪漫，有风景，有钱老板的屁屁，养眼养眼。
桑德拉的亮片衣，塔图姆的屁股，皮特的甩发，还有70岁的哈利
消磨时间挺好的，虽然有些镜头挺不知所谓的。而且感觉很男式爽片的女性版
又是找几个大牌过来随便糊弄一下的电影，好随意的剧本
有时候 不是你想让谁睡着 就能马上睡着的 毕竟皮特哥哥有练过
不算是寻宝片，更算是搞笑爱情片吧。寻宝部分真的很少很少，但作为喜剧还是不错的，就是搞笑的手段也挺老套过时。布拉德彼特太搞笑了，尤其甩头发那段，可惜戏份太少。丹尼尔真的完全长残呀，太矮了，还留那么多胡子，还胖了，现在也只能做做反派。
制作水平没问题，剧情马马虎虎。个人觉得，既然是探险寻宝风格，就要有踏踏实实的惊险刺激感。而这个影片却嬉皮笑脸，像开玩笑一样的，让观众真的就没有什么带入感。并且还有英语旁白来说明，这样更反感（这样子都表达不明白，还得需要旁白来说明！很尴尬）皮特客串短暂而惨烈…但观感却不怎么好。
