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".
说实话，无论是放在食人魔还是诈骗囚禁题材里面都不算出彩吧，无论是剧情的设计还是音乐的搭配都没有人令人眼前一新的感觉，硬凑的送死小队和最后的反杀从头到尾充斥着生硬，越看越觉得几款汉尼拔真是不可超越……塞巴斯蒂安·斯坦的颜值倒是为整体的设定提供了一个合理的前提，嗯，确实容易骗到小绵羊，可惜人物整体质感不够，没什么魅力的感觉……
看疫情下的武汉普通人的生活。太感人了，从头至尾。在来势凶凶的疫情面前，人们相互温暖，相互鼓励，在共同的努力下终于换来了武汉的重启，这个电影太有意义了。
6｜汉尼拔版get out….和get out明显有互动，但相较之下fresh几乎完败…..不好，整部片子都油腻死了，但还算是及格吧…
又一部girls help girls的电影，不够血腥也不够有趣，塞巴斯依旧帅。
性别话题非常现实，社会指向性非常明显。男性的帮助都在片中无足轻重#girls help girls
最后拥抱了自己的老公，这一年，都不容易。
不过seb真的太帅了呵呵 演技姑且在线 冷酷一面比装傻充愣一面更迷人 在这种人面前保持理智也就是那么一回事（
最后该不该有反杀呢？该！但不该是这样简单的过程，体验的前后割裂感想必导演也是清楚的，但美式虐杀片或许只能这样了，赶紧把本子交给园子温或者法国人去做吧吧。
今年最好吃的电影，生吃+前程似锦的女孩，既没有哗众取宠式的贩卖猎奇元素，也不是挂羊头卖狗肉的跟风之作。比起传统的B级血浆，更文艺、更轻盈、更娓娓道来。前半段的剪辑和剧情推进很不错，后半段相对拖沓。女主逃出来也没有想象的那么高智商，不过也可以理解。可惜这么好的食材终究还是错付给了外国匮乏的烹饪方式，若是换成咱这……
男主前后智商反差太大，咋可以把自己脆弱的宝贝交给有可能会伤害自己的女主？！
穿着恐怖片外衣的“远离渣男”宣传片，看得出来导演的视听语言确实精湛，很多大胆且“新鲜”的段落带来了远不同于同类型恐怖片的观感。但是，这个剧本吧…前半个小时简直就是从《故事》里跳出来的“把类型常规拍成陈词滥调”的典范，后面的情节确实极尽恶心，但戏剧冲突也不是很强，翻来覆去就那么些事，剧本不够视听来凑了属于是。最后二十分钟的“反击”桥段简直不能更出人意料了，而且都2202年了，怎么还有人在恐怖片里干掉反派不补刀啊，怎么还有人单独行动啊…我真是服了😤两星半，不能更多了，不过导演水平还可以，换一个好本子应该能拍出点东西。
台词写得好差，急躁又生硬。煽情桥段设计得稀烂，徐帆和高亚麟在雨中拥抱那段给我看笑了，尬得连贾玲谈恋爱都没救回来……浓浓的政治任务感+仓促的言情群像，纪实性和真实感做了等于没做（本来也做得不够），显得敷衍、轻浮和借题发挥。想着前年那几个月看到的新闻旧闻，看着武汉熟悉的车站街道，还是断断续续地掉眼泪，但有一半是愤怒于凭什么那些生死要被写成这样一个“故事”啊
女主角神似安妮海瑟薇，漂亮又有演技，男主也很帅，不知道为啥有个喜剧的标签，可能结尾处一个捂胸，一个捂屁股，一个捂蛋蛋很搞笑？
早知道是疫情片打晕我我也不进去看现在当事人就非常后悔 但是说实话比我想的好点了 没有那么高高在上 要是把高亚麟徐帆那一段富贵矫情过度生二胎宣传去了我愿意给三星/u1s1朱一龙有点惊喜/生活总得过
和Tinder诈骗王一样，挺有警示意义的。
【米米·凯夫】导演处女作 ～
还好嘞 中间有些枯燥 1.5倍速看完 反倒是最开头那个中餐厅男塑造更好 全世界的普信男都一个样子 好写实 营销账号说什么看完这部片子一段时间都不想吃肉心理有多脆弱 男主都要跟自己食谱上的物种谈恋爱了我们吃个肉算啥
仇男气息浓郁的食人魔类型片。
就是说朱一龙和贾玲……太尬了，类似不能理解的情节还有不少。最大的问题还是配音用力过猛，配乐也过于努力了。
勉强及格，当所有的刺激感官片段都以近拍进食来展现，不免失去了这类题材本该带来的惊悚感，并且以降低凶手警惕来实现反杀，太俗套了。
