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".
毕竟编剧雷神才拍了这一个片子。
东北的林区风景很美。画面整体感觉有种北欧风的感觉。包括建筑和服装都有这方面的感觉。个人很喜欢。
穿越者的归宿，杀掉土著，鸠占鹊巢
从氛围到摄影再到配乐绝对是网大里非常亮眼的作品 编剧导演同一人 我觉得非常有才啊 这样的片子值得四星鼓励
就是感觉所有演员的台词读音重音都不对。不如丈夫责备妻子，你开的车。这句话完全没有重读任何一个字。但应该是你（！）开的车。还有之前的几句台词。真的都特别奇怪的读音。包括女人的反应，你别跟着我（似乎是这句），读的感情完全不到位！你那么生气为什么读的那么平淡呢？
感觉像经历了一场电信诈骗，前期无意间看到各种宣传物料和first就立刻买票支持，只有几家影院放也得去看，看完的一瞬间才感觉完全不是那么回事，然后再翻回去仔细看之前吸引我去看的宣传和信息才悔恨自己怎么会上这个当！且不说空洞的场景设计和表演，这毕竟是低成本必然会带来的问题，但是从核心概念和基于这个概念做的戏，全都是从别的电影里搬来的，而且还是从最被大众认知的那些什么彗星、恐怖游轮，甚至是时空罪恶或是26种死法里的circle，小到道具上到矛盾冲突基本就是上述这些片子的缝合怪。而且最让人尴尬的是一定要把平行空间用得像地摊文学一般的方式再片子里反复强调并讨论。其中建立的丧子设定也几乎没能为核心概念和角色提供相应的弧光。弄得就像是抖音快手的融梗段子（真的有人会在会所放没字幕的闪灵么？还不如老老实实放上述片子明哲保
低配彗星来的那一夜了属于是，瑕疵很多，但毕竟是部小成本，整这样也不错了，也属于完成度很高的国产科幻电影了。。。不过我记得彗星来的那一夜也就一百万成本。
还可以，主演演技瑕疵不少，有些地方演技很生硬。
小成本电影，还不错，看到太多其他平行世界的影子了。
【雷编剧，酷剧情，阴间乐】
全程无尿点，也不烧脑，看的时候别玩手机就行。整个故事严谨完整，毫无问题，期待导演下一部作品。
当彗星来的那一夜，将镜头聚焦到了但人们发现自己已经身处在别的平行时空时该干什么这件事上，但是整体上不管从演员，配乐还是剪辑都需要重新打磨
就三位不知名演员演出的这么个小成本制作，谁能想到居然牛了个x了。有似曾相识的元素，但又不一样，听说剧本还被好莱坞买走，有前途。
刚开始觉得演员表演的好神经质，第二个男主还娘娘的，没想到其实是不一样的人，那这些神经的表演也可能是刻意为之，时空错乱的人们。
网大的良心作啊，恐怖游轮+彗星来的那一夜+暗黑
视听呈现得不错，玩概念的小片子逻辑自洽就够了
没太大意思。还是《彗星来的那一夜》一个故事套路，除此以外完全没有新东西。超小成本，各方面制作都很粗糙。
创意非常好，但我认为演员表演欠佳，而且有的地方对白很尬其实，以两年前的眼光来看还是不错，但以现在来看略显过时，而且最后也没有发生所谓男主说的涟漪越大灾难越大，可能不想深挖(预算不够)，不过100万能拍成这样已经很不错了，能被好莱坞看中翻拍属实难得，支持雷导，土猛土猛的
白桦林和雾笼胡泊营造的悬疑氛围很出色。
开车车祸，失去儿子，自责；
