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".
拿弓弩的女人长得实在太像会不断复生的死人了
剧情简单
前半段还不错，很多桥段看起来非常真实，后面回去开始就瞎拍拍了，连逻辑自洽都做不到
特种部队医务官被逼退役，生活所迫去前战友工作的组织当雇佣兵，去柏林抓一个生化学家，取得资料后杀人，又被上司出卖，除了自己团灭，还被追杀，还发现生化学家是研制出病毒解药。逃回国后发现前队友没死，在利用自己且知道黑幕，幕后金主想用病毒捞钱，怕解药阻碍自己所以抢夺。俩人和解一起去找上司拉蒂斯，队友被打死，自己杀死上司。前30分钟光演男主生活艰辛了，节奏慢也略有点无聊，30分钟后开始执行任务，这部分还是不错的，算是有点精彩，只是最后队友肯帮忙的反转有点生硬。影片肯定不够4星，但3星够了，我给3星6.6分！
一个好的idea被拍成了狗屎，土澳政客的脑回路真的是莫名其妙，连电影人也是，小成本就小成本吧，小成本佳作也不是没有，这种存粹就是浪费时间
【C+】荒原废土的质感营造得不错，摄影和表演都可圈可点，但是剧情推进十分乏力，人物间的互动也不够精彩。
电影中规中矩 枪战和搏斗部分有些拉 处理的不好 另外特种兵生存技能 自救和施救 近距离战斗片段和搜房男主都下了功课 值得表扬 战友中枪中的莫名其妙 这就是退役特种兵吗。。 ps：科学家是“海豹六队成员”“安全屋老头是极寒城的特工/间谍” 电影里面讲的是为了消灭“恐怖分子”而行动 真相是“恐怖分子”发明疫苗的科学家是为了阻止星条旗释放病毒而被杀 回到现实头皮发麻 地球之癌 美国!
其实你只需要设想一下穷困潦倒的你突然发现这么巨大的一块金子的场景，就能理解为什么死活不愿意离开甚至不愿意远离一点点，甚至紧张到不能正常对话，其实都是很真实的自然反应
故事太过简单，动作场景也是。还有最疑惑的就是花那么大代价去灭口加上巨额安家费，怎么就不能够安排他回来呢
这电影……退伍兵干的就是黑心活犹犹豫豫不专业，团队配合时间算不准，与警察枪战，在闹市区枪战，在老窝枪战，最迷惑的是为什么杀主角？如果拍爽片也不计较这些逻辑，可惜还搞一大堆文戏。是个渣片。
图金害命的贪婪。
当他掰下一块金子而选择继续留守的时候，到底是贪婪还是忠诚？
6.5分。我不理解男主是哪根筋搭住了，真的会一个人枯守黄金？？？都已经是无人区了，两个人相互监视一起去找资源不是更合适么？好在男主的表演还算是不错的，慢慢沉沦的沧桑感也表现出来了。最后的结尾还真是够残酷的。
这废腿看的好累，最后是不是没钱拍下去了，草草收场
前半段虽然节奏缓慢，整体开局很不错，陆战队员也会有人到中年的困境及对家庭的责任。
那分明就是狗好吗？
这剧本硬伤也太多了，首先没说为啥要追杀派派，我觉得应该是反派发现他知道了疫苗的秘密，但这在片子里没说明，是剪了咩？再者反派抢了疫苗是想释放病毒后自己人偷偷用？这也纸包不住火吧？最后派派是回家了，也没有交代疫苗到底拿出来了没有。总得来说是悲伤的，退伍军人落到这般下场。
最近美利坚拍的片，好像都是阵容可以，拍摄可以，动作也可以，套路老就算了，但为什么全部都没逻辑可言，这个胡子朋友为什么会坑男主，坑就算了，为什么又突然“良心发现”，组织上的大胡子又为什么要请他，不请他就不用多杀一个人了吧，这是谁写的狗血故事
男主在侮辱观众智商。飞机里躲的好好的不行吗？爬到前面是几个意思？生怕别人不知道你？
灰灰色畫面⋯很棒👍
