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".
When people can't fuck, they kill
前2/5巨棒 导演贼会拍电影 绝非简单的恐怖类型片
剪辑有点意思，女主一人分饰年轻演员和杀人狂老太两角也是有想法的。
这其实是部科幻哲学片：当年轻女性瘾者意外遇见老年的自己。
我一直对贩卖血浆的砍杀电影嗤之以鼻，但是这一部比较克制，举个例子，有一段血溅到车灯上，灯光变红，于是整个画面变红。而且电影本质的反派是一种衰老的恐惧，电影中很多剪辑构图都在渲染这个氛围，你一旦注意到片中最恐怖的声音是什么，就立刻会知道这部恐怖片的优秀之处。同样，好的恐怖片我不推荐观看。
诡异感十足，反高潮熟稔，致敬处遍地，交叉蒙太奇过瘾，自嘲解构拉满娱乐性，虽然第三幕破功了，但你还是可以相信A24！
本片的配乐真的非常独特！我取个形容术语就叫做【性的♀呻吟】？特别后来一处高潮节点，配乐更加性奋！天哪耳朵是真怀孕...但我客观的说，真的特别好听，不俗哦。本片的老奶奶让我联想到去年看的“伪”伪纪录片《探访惊魂》那位，长的也相似，但那片更恐怖，因为是真·怪物。顺便这女主，我之前看过她的《艾玛》《救命解药》《阴风阵阵2018》，都给了我很深的造型印象。本片更是了，非常有潜力的冷门女演员。
复古做的挺好的，虽然剧情单薄但是很喜欢。当我年老没有性生活时的真实写照。
为Mia Goth量身定制的情色恐怖融合复古类型，潜伏电影之电影的独立低成本摄制情节表象，镜头引向窥视与分级切入结尾的形式趣味和文本成人影星通过现实复仇神谕秘密弑父互为多重注解，铺平血腥自由之路。分屏频闪等剪辑技巧如在银幕观看会更有效。致敬Shelley Duvall的惊声尖叫，牧师宣扬宗教狂热的苍白电波和保守南方田园噩梦的经典性压抑主题孕育畏惧迟暮的原罪，生根引爆青春与衰老，爱欲与倦怠的末日对决。性解放美国梦背后蛰伏着清教徒禁欲主义蠢蠢欲动的草叉和鳄鱼死亡之吻，呼唤神圣再临，审判恶魔画像，当松垮褶皱的老去肉体变成骇人手段，反派主角一体两面的表演是少女老妪在时光罪罚面前无差诅咒，附骨之疽般封存意识深处的轮回：有天你我会一样。就像色情产品和成瘾药物基因里及时行乐的不详音符，跑吧，趁你还有力气。
1979年那是一个春天，能操的动的年纪就尽情操吧，想到我们有一天都会操不动，有一种莫名的悲凉。人老了真是可怜，所有器官都在衰竭，熬过了床上老婆这关，结果还是被吓得心脏病发。
就很难定义 说是恶俗的血浆片吧 还是有点可以思考的东西在的 但要真去思考 又只是非常蜻蜓点水的带过 老年人的爱欲确实是个被忽视的话题 感觉绝大部分对老年人生活的描绘都限于互相搀扶着蹒跚行走 哪怕有一两部老年人恋爱 两个人也是温馨多过欲望 而且演员也不会老的那么真实 不像这部片子里一样 佝偻的身体 干瘪的皮肤 遍布全身的老年斑 但遗憾的是这个片子也就到此为止了 她的求欢 对年轻女孩肉体的迷恋 猎奇的感觉更多一点 不过我喜欢这种干脆的杀人 说杀就杀 完全不逼逼 反派一个死于心脏病 一个死于低估了枪的后坐力 完全摆脱了反派死于话多的cliche
又一次被外媒评论骗了，又一次被a24的招牌骗了，2小时干点啥不好呢？非要花时间看点这呢？
暴力恐怖的剧情不算太多，从一小时后才开始的。老太婆看别人有的搞自己没得搞，于是不停的杀人，最后被女主杀掉，女主逃脱。摄影的女的明明有男朋友了还要去参演毛片跟别的男人做，那男朋友肯定接受不了啊。
想起来以前看过一篇文章讲养老院老人性需求。还行吧 故事一般 视听挺好 在车灯前面杀人画面慢慢变红 闪切（有这个名吗 我瞎说的） 我最喜欢的地方是老太太拿草叉软绵绵地戳了一下尸体 mia老喜欢演这种片
女主这种傻逼真就靠主角光环活到了最后啊……小电影套排小电影～
三星半，观影体验很好，就打分高一点吧。非常迷影向的恐怖片，虽然有创意不够的嫌疑但是由于表现手法上蛮有质感，也觉得不是粗制滥造的无脑作品。一人分饰两角算是最大的创意，衰老的肉体可能本身就带有恐怖感觉。
前半部分有点无聊，后半部分还行，总的其实还可以，不至于6分都上不了吧？究竟是老人变坏了，还是坏人变老了？其实我觉得两者都有，从心理上来说，在中下阶层，有的人老了真的会不再像年轻时去考虑什么道德、社会舆论之类的，从而做出一些离谱的事情。是的，我这么说，我自己也会老。人生的意义就是为了走向衰亡吗？
3.5分向上取整，总体没有想象中的那么惊喜，但片中不乏一些突出的精彩段落，几处剪辑还算精妙，没有沉溺于复古之中，各种伏笔的回收也很有诚意，而米娅·高斯这一次的演出也和以往迥然不同。
血腥、性、血浆、暴力、愤怒、嫉妒、懵懂。年轻的时候就要疯狂做哎，不然到老了就后悔去吧！垂死的老太婆和老太公因为得不到性快感而杀掉来他们家拍A片的年轻人（没错故事就这么简单）。太好看了！一枪爆头、推下湖泊被鳄鱼吃掉、砍手指，最后老太公操老太婆，幸存的女孩躲在床底，太好笑了哈哈哈哈戏剧死了！！！let fuck every day and night!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
猎奇+重口味，B级爽片，剧本太粗糙，个别镜头还是看得出用心去做的。
