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".
老年人表示有被冒犯到，呵，你们也不会年轻太久。
身强力壮的帅哥美女们竟被一对步履蹒跚，行将就木的老夫妻给灭了。
德州花样杀人狂之急需解决性生活难题的老年杀人狂群体版
摄影剪辑音效音乐都太棒了，海报就值得一星。
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。
老太太的作案动机是恐怖片中挺新奇的一种，饱含对青春年华逝水的挽歌，余存体内的性欲被外来的X级电影唤醒，怒冲心头的嫉妒漾出了心际，鳄鱼的捕猎，农叉的死念，空弹的手枪，年少轻狂过后，只有病态的无谓与疯狂的屠杀。
类型感十足，B级片的调度中又不乏主题性的乏力感，并通过现实的戏剧性本身解构了电影媒介。
哦，不要轻视老年群体的生理需求。看了cast之后突然觉得有点意思了！期待一下前传吧！
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。
X.2022.2022.2160p.WEB-DL.x265.10bit.SDR.DDP5.1.Atmos-NOGRP 直接看后半段吧，片中的老人很恶心
还有一个败笔就是黑发女，咋崩溃成那样，应该和队友一起合作逃出去才是，太仓促结束了，前面铺垫长，结尾草草结束，挺浪费时间的
all about desire，很好。
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。
血腥恐怖场面拍得比sexual scene牛逼多了
曾经人见人爱美丽动人，如今我已垂垂老矣。你参加两次世界大战，战争无法摧毁你，但是时间也让你暮去。我想要你再操我一次，告诉我我是特别的，哪怕我知道你是在哄骗我。我如此的渴望，衰老和死亡却寸步不让。上帝并不会怜悯我，逝去的容颜不再回来。年轻人要去追寻美国梦了，他们纵情性交享受当下，新的时代即将来临，没有人会记得我。
emmm……美国的恐怖片大概都是这种套路了
倒序，故意做出老片子颗粒感的画面，镜头内外的对比与照应（可能有点后设，比如影片播到大概52分钟时主角团在讨论中提到情色向恐怖的转换，以及结尾警长看见录像机后得出“他们在拍恐怖片”结论的恶趣味设计），关于肉体、性、爱的讨论，老年人的性问题，以及剧情背景：八十年代的美国，从杂乱的汽车工业城区到类似密西西比流域的乡野，号召者与忠实的信徒，反基督，反文化运动，越战老兵……其实这部片想法挺多。就是主角团的死法都太痛，尤其制片人（光脚扎入铁钉+铁叉插眼）和摄影师（乱刀疯狂扎喉咙），相比而言鳄鱼袭击也就只是《狂蟒之灾》那种等级罢了。恐怖倒真不是很恐怖，老女主人睡女主身旁那里有临场感，其他基本都是借助音效的Jump Scare。不过电影要呈现的立场有些暧昧。
有点儿东西。古怪邪教暮年夫妇妄图屠杀一小队青年男女。女主集光环一身，从头幸运到尾，手刃老人，脱离魔窟。
老太太性压抑所以通过杀人获得快感？拍了1个小时的剧情床戏，后面40分钟都是一招致命，毫无记忆点，恐怖氛围几乎没有
这电影让我想起一个著名笑话：用最短篇幅写一个包含政治、悬疑、惊悚、性、宗教的故事？答：oh my god 女王怀孕了！谁干的？
