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".
从一个high concept到这个剧本转化得好有活力！看好导演与编剧。
塞巴斯蒂安演得太有魅力了，这么变态还是恨不起来啊，两场跳舞很有趣。
这片有非常强的隐喻，看不出的人恐怕是选择性眼瞎耳聋吧。
几个反转很不错，但整体略粗糙！剧本设计有几个缺陷，女主本可以让救援jc不死的！
真是受够了豆瓣的评分。女主很有味道，真人比照片好看很多，眼睛像万绮雯？演技也非常在线，期待更多作品。
喜欢吃人肉的男人有一丢丢恋爱脑，还挺有意思的哈#看完立刻吃了一顿牛肉火锅，美滋滋
6.5，挺刺激的，但故事不够好，设定和主题过于先行的那种片子
《逃出绝命镇》的壳子，帅气食人魔的old school设定，以及结尾蹩脚的女性觉醒意识，anyway，girls help girls
女性被变态囚禁然后逃脱反杀的故事，无论是情节，节奏，小反转，小创新等层面，在同类型故事中都不算精彩(顺便推荐<噩梦娃娃屋>。然而结合各种现实事件，看着就有种莫名恐惧的代入感，尤其是女主将朋友和另一个受害者救出，和3v1和变态缠斗，不由的想到现实中如果遇到类型的情况，逃跑的可能性何等渺茫。
我对于钉子这种东西总有一种恐惧，但是用毒品镇痛这个。。只能说还挺巧妙吧。女主大部分时候像郑秀晶，有几个角度像巩俐
疫情以后，类似这种变态砍杀绑架吃肉的惊悚片题材不少，奈飞A24hulu都有 感觉也是通过另一种方式发泄某种压抑郁闷的情绪的。稍感重口稍有恶心，剧本还是太平庸，高开低走。
我们的爱最新鲜，保留原味，浅尝一遍闭上眼情绪特别…真应该找梁咏琪给这部电影唱主题曲。
主角光环的偏爱+突然降智 跳舞算是全片最佳(?) 磨磨唧唧不尽兴（说好的吉良吉影的手呢 海报骗人系列

在线。最近在线三部。又是一天之差就出系统评分。一看Havana Rose演员表排这么后以为是配角。眼睛瞪得像铜铃。一组镜头分别切到四个人的神态，我以为都是坏人。拉尔斯反而是心善那个。狭小的空间，却有新奇。最后好像表示一切都是想象，破坏意境，本来想四星。
手松四星，反传统的慢节奏还挺眼前一亮的。概念完整，观点偏激（褒义），一点点有意思的病态，看得很轻松。
确实没能吸引我看下去…从打牌跳到结尾。
史蒂夫冒充整形医生开网店、收割人肉售卖。网恋失败的诺亚误打误撞在拉面馆与史蒂夫相识相恋，被骗至家迷晕，醒来发现被囚禁并割下臀部肉。闺蜜黑女在拉面馆查史蒂夫信用卡找到其家，发现对方夫妇爱吃人肉也被囚禁。诺亚假装爱吃人肉骗取信任，一口咬下鸡鸡夺走钥匙，救出闺蜜并一枪爆头变态
把變態拍出了一點溫馨祥和。鐵鏈女都應該來那麽一下魚死網破。
看得浑身不适，可能是艾米·汉莫的年度十佳，仿佛为他量身定制。★★★/6.1
