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".
不知道为啥，这片看完让我有种怪异的感觉，引起了生理不适。。强行反转的剧情有点突兀。没看到什么深刻的意义，甚至可以当成三级片了。。
有几个疑点感觉太儿戏了，激光反射过来直接变成语音这个不很扯么？打印机怎么隔着大楼打印文件呢？男主的突然暴走感觉是为了剧情而剧情的，不够自然，还有其他的小漏洞，但是谁让女主身材真的顶呢？结局也不错，总体值得一看
前面一度弄得很巧合就为了连上后面生硬的反转，中间太潦草了，收尾可以，大家都是恶人大家都没有好下场
能连想到的影片短片《邻居的窗》 一个是剧情片，一个是偏类型片，又一长一短。个人更喜欢那部短片 也更适合长篇。
2021年了，讲的是上世纪的惨事，以为能有什么新意，却还是没能超越时代。护士长说她自由了，所以不跟女主一起逃，我真的惊掉下巴。请问她哪里自由了呢？精神上？还是身体上？导演哪里来的自信让护士长自觉自愿被囚禁呀？还有医院里所有的女人，都没有被解放。双女主的暧昧，闹着玩似的。整个电影都浮于表面，你拍不出来反抗就别拍了，一女导演，拍qj镜头倒是挺带劲儿的，真无语哈。
可以当作法治宣传片，偷窥害人害己，奇怪的是最后女主角反杀反而让人感觉不爽快了
寓言诗电影，青涩外壳，恐怖内核……结局往复 有点电锯惊魂那种无休止的感觉
压抑 令人难堪 无止尽的痛苦 感谢最后的逃脱和救赎
看开头就猜到女主和摄影师必有一炮。几个ML镜头十分香艳，因为是偷窥视角，所以看起来比看普通色情片更爽。刘承羽真美。最后三分之一反转接着反转，意想不到。全片显然受到《后窗》影响，导演是不是得拜拜希总，吃水不忘挖井人。
算后窗的现代进阶版吧，偷窥与反偷窥。当你在窥探他人生活满足自己病态好奇心的时候，自己也成了被偷窥的对象。
比想象中要好看很多，反转再反转，一开始以为是后窗套路，没想到玩出了花样
我覺得前面還是很不錯的，氛圍節奏把控的不錯，後面的反轉處理得就比較急，和前面相比比較掉漆。
差点以为两个美女要搞姬了哈哈哈my bad~
如果你不是在乎我的外表
情色版的现代<后窗>式故事，后面的反转反杀也还可以。西德妮这妹纸可塑性真的可以，开头符合年纪的甜，中段婊起来跟<白莲花度假村>也有所不同，最后又可以演出<夜曲>一样的黑化，过分的是还有这霸道的身材。（2年前演<大侦探皮卡丘>的J史密斯，现在变这样？）
还真有点《后窗》、《偷窥狂》的感觉，讨论不道德的窥探与反凝视，捕猎者和猎物身份的转换与并存，这种深度的内核挖掘在当代惊悚片中非常惊喜，皮帕为了吸到黄金乌干达害死男朋友，茱莉亚不惜拿男朋友的肉体勾引目标，俩狠女人。bug是黑人男友上吊自杀还是被人吊死警察不会判断不出来吧，摄影师两口子瞎了眼居然不想尽一切办法报复女主吗?本哈迪的肉体我的妈呀是我我也沦陷啊
女主一脸萝莉的样子，可真的是...深藏不露...
你站在桥上看风景， 看风景的人在楼上看你。 女主神似张靓颖
妖魔化有天分的女性，再割掉她们的舌头，打入父权制牢笼。
大浪淘沙里的一粒沙子。两个小时里我要靠火辣的身材来刺激自己来保持注意力。
