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".
妈妈：“你残废是天生的，没有人会怪你，只会怪我”
不搞笑的吴君如，确实有凸显出令人印象深刻的演技！但她饰演类似的角色也不是第一次了，类似的还有《岁月神偷》。
爸爸和弟弟存在感好低哦 感觉可以加点时长 把电影拍得深刻一点 故事是好故事 但拍得比较浅 为了妈妈打满分
最近怎么看的好几部电影都…很别扭的观影体验，就是那种，导演把镜头语言和思想硬塞到我脑里，说，看我是不是很厉害… 而且窦尧这演技我总觉得跟场景格格不入而且很容易用力过度，新一代的黄教主？
密闭空间小格局，玩层层包裹逐步揭开的叙事结构，讲了一套不算复杂的人物关系。越往后越显得闹腾不悬疑，反转设计的戏剧感明显，窦骁一角尤其生硬戛然而终。
ps14岁的阿伟演员神似荣梓杉..
短短107分钟里，我见识到了无数个所谓的"高能反转"，一层一层的视角转换，空间人物的堆叠企图能用诺小的格局来提升内核，玩一出悲伤的《疯狂的石头》。结果呢？拍的十分土气，哈欠连天的硬核反转，一个小时的电影活生生拍成了社会问题。剧本素质，导演控场能力不高，硬要升华，刻意转场，视角堆叠，以及反转都让我频频白眼。
不带期待去看，收获惊喜，前面的不断“铺垫套路做到第三次时就有点略显夯长乏味了，但！一个转折，节奏音乐表演摄影整体合一，黑色幽默与悬疑的加持，实在是有点惊喜…小孩子那part有点破防，尽管结尾弱下去了，但处女作能交出如此答卷，也是可期啊
三星半水准电影 其实挺惊喜的 得益于创作环境吧 不是传统国产励志片的单纯打鸡血 叙事轻训练困难重社会困难 而且找的演员真是太牛了 但很多桥段还是很尬 真实感还是很欠缺 可能确实没那么多钱吧
最后才呈现出真相。回味一下，前面埋伏了很多小细节，小线索，到后面逐一呼应。佩服！细节之处见真功。
泛密闭，持续补充前情实现反转，角色上线的安排太刻意，缺少意外感
看到了一些模仿经典影视剧的痕迹，比如低俗小说。只不过这种低配模仿放到2021年，真的太过时了。
一直向前跑，就不会迷路，可若是生存的坦途藏在弯道口，不迷路的机会成本由谁买单？
确实不是太有诚意的作品。一方面人物太多以至于没有一个角色能够被深入地刻画，范伟算是最完整的角色了但是还是有很多没交代的不能自圆其说的部分。另一方面，整体衔接转折略僵硬。多次闪回有些显得不太必要企鹅过于规整像八股文。但是我觉得镜头语言挺简洁舒服的。尤其那个圆天井的老房子真是太出彩。喜欢这个地方想知道是影视基地还是真有这么个地方。
短短107分钟里，我见识到了无数个所谓的"高能反转"，一层一层的视角转换，空间人物的堆叠企图能用诺小的格局来提升内核，玩一出悲伤的《疯狂的石头》。结果呢？拍的十分土气，哈欠连天的硬核反转，一个小时的电影活生生拍成了社会问题。剧本素质，导演控场能力不高，硬要升华，刻意转场，视角堆叠，以及反转都让我频频白眼。
时间顺序清晰，前后逻辑严谨，没有明显bug，拍摄时注重细节刻画，不速来客很有可能成为10月黑马，多次以天井式的破旧大楼为分割点，分开每一个不同角色的视角，配上带感的bgm，很完整的呈现出一个悬疑片，范伟老师和窦骁的搭配喜剧效果拉满。
煽情的地方是真煽情，特别是妈妈帮阿伟向阿娇表白之后那一段，可以说是全片高光了。
比较精巧的设计，手法也停有意思，不过，就是人物的转变还是太快了，刻意的成分在结尾的地方太浓了，就是要做成一个回环，但是其实没有也没关系
不搞笑的吴君如，确实有凸显出令人印象深刻的演技！但她饰演类似的角色也不是第一次了，类似的还有《岁月神偷》。
3.5。剧本杀式电影，随着范伟的角色进入，不知道其他人物都是做什么的，在剧情深入的过程中一点点得知。可以更high一点，但是目前也很不错，张颂文的存活是出于过审考虑的吧。窦骁糙一点的样子明显感觉更帅一点……
