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".
所以蛾子梦境女王到底是什么来头？能得到什么？全都没说
所以，简单来说就是一个数学家无意中发现了开启地狱的咒语，还TM制成了录音胶片。每次播放录音就是打开了地狱的大门，之前没播放完所以只打开了大门，牢头上不来。最后一次彻底播放完录音，所以地狱和现实整个房子彻底联通了，不过这是单程票，能进不能出。
小成本制作，没啥令人惊喜的桥段和特效画面。氛围还行但前期剧情寡淡如水，整体设定和人物塑造也都比较老套。但是看到女主在为social media campaign的pitch提案就很有亲切感。唯一出彩的地方大概是结局。一句话总结就是薛定谔的女儿。btw数学很恐怖这件事，我从初中以后就知道了……
好无聊的惊悚片，一点也不恐怖，前面太冗长了，堪称无聊，后三分之一还可以，如果不是极度无聊，可以不看
不知道蝴蝶代表着什么
影片本身只值两星。问题家庭看上去现在已经成了鬼屋类恐怖片的标配了。虽然本片看上去是有野心想要探讨家庭成员之间的关系这个老生常谈的话题，然而本片的探讨却实在是难称高明。在恐怖表现方面除了数数字的诡异行为带来的压迫感之外，实在是全程令人犯困。多出来的一星，主要是给颇有新意的闹鬼方式：这年头，连想闹鬼都得学好数学啊！ *笑*
剧本吐槽，女孩失踪后剧情有往校园欺凌和家庭教育方面走偏，不过最后还是成功回归鬼屋，还有明知屋子可能有某些灵异东西，还那么放心让小男孩到处玩，生怕小孩不出事吗？
前三分之一比较有意思，到脑袋被撞聪明的数学家那里剧情就开始飘了，后面烂尾。但是景色真的超美。
垃圾编剧……完全通过拖沓和黑暗营造恐怖紧张的气氛……当爹的仿佛空气一般的存在，女儿经过鬼吹灯后离奇失踪，竟然只靠女主来作为侦破主力，全程死板推进，很多惊悚镜头给的也是莫名其妙，比如小儿子在游戏室玩游戏的时候类似算盘的珠子移动和暗门的开启，女主和小儿子经过类似智障之间的几句对话后竟然直接翻篇，对暗门开启和小儿子莫名其妙数数走向暗门完全视而不见……作为丈夫更是完全没有任何参与，为何不把剧情设定为单亲妈妈带俩娃的故事？小儿子也仿佛木头一般的存在，演技完全不在线。恶魔也是弱到爆，这一露面简直让我吐血，还不如西游记里的牛魔王吓人，真的还不如不露面……进到另一纬度空间到万人广场找女儿什么鬼？原路返回后竟然开始中国鬼打墙？房子出口又接上了地窖楼梯……那万人广场怎么解释？总之整部电影演的乱七八糟又莫名其妙
终于数学也加入恐怖大家族了，但是电影里的数学远没有现实中的数学恐怖。
垃圾导演，根本不会运用背景音乐，不论什么场景，整部电影充斥很吵的背景音乐
题材挺好的怎么后半段这么烂啊 恨铁不成钢的泪TAT还是期待太高了
这个怪物不错，长的挺有点东西的，最后女主也要像两个老头一样了吗？
另外，蝶神出现的时候把人恶心到了，拿着下流恶心当有趣的恐怖片……还有，片子一直在努力渲染蝶神多么多么邪恶恐怖，电影努力在让观者感觉“一切都是蝶神的错，是蝶神在引诱人类犯罪balabala”，就好像出轨的男人推卸责任而埋怨“自己是无辜的，全怪某个女人勾引他”一样可笑
恐怖氛围拿捏的很到位，丈夫倒数开始到结束，都让人头皮发麻。看到有人解读是网络暴力的深渊，我个人更愿意解读为母女之间的救赎：母亲对于女儿疏忽和不耐烦的悔过——以及为时已晚，幸福家庭亦不复。哪怕最后女儿生前的纹身，都已经成为母亲珍贵的线索，但一切都太晚了。结尾真的很残忍，从失去女儿，到父亲的那滴泪想把母亲从悲痛中拉出来，再到自己也沉沦，让人看的心塞难过。善待自己的孩子吧，哪怕是为了自己。
伍兹一家搬进Xaos House一周后，他们的女儿Ellie在一次停电中失踪。艾莉的母亲凯拉调查后发现墙上刻着奇怪的符号。在经历了一系列可怕的超自然经历后，她得出结论，是折损房子带走了艾莉。她发现一个名叫约翰·费瑟斯顿的物理学家和神秘学家，他痴迷于寻找第11维度并建造了这座房子，在通往地窖的10级台阶上刻下了邪恶的字符。凯拉必须与宇宙中最古老的邪恶战斗，否则她将永远失去家人的灵魂。
整半天数学物理神秘主义的，结果完全没用上，恶魔的目的到底是啥？纯数数么？
氛围不错，就是结尾手电筒敲别个手那里有点幽默
有点恐怖，毕竟我数学不好，而且地狱还是用数学创造出来的新维度，不会解题就出不去呀！结局是有点好玩，可惜前期故事不行，不过也算是走出了恐怖片的新路线了，应证了中学老师的口头禅“学好数理化，走遍天下都不怕”这年头不会点数学都不好意思当魔神了 ，甚至连“薛定谔的猫”都懂，Baphomet要是没事干的话，真心推荐他去当数学家教，最好是教一些很调皮的学生。
比预期要好，女主胆子超级大，而且超级相信别人，逻辑倒也自洽：因为胆子超级大所以敢各种相信别人。总体来说是一部挺不错的恐怖片。
