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".
从未像这样期待一部电影，从预告片上映，到啃英文原版中篇，然后到看强迫自己看恐怖片练胆，再到不停寻找资源。今天终于看完了，我只能说真的没有失望。作为一部恐怖片，摄影与气氛的营造做得很好，最后的彩蛋(?)也很增色。豆瓣评分是别人的事情，雨我无瓜。
20220104 画面还可以，剧情就……女教师单刷2米高远古怪物。
好无聊我的天！！被无聊到震撼了，预告片比正片好看百倍，甚至可以说正片把预告毁了
两个sheriff都惨死的桥段，然后一个弱女子竟然战胜了魔鬼，这剧情快赶上国内的无脑剧了
一般般，这种题材完全可以拍的更好，带上更深的宗教色彩，人性的贪婪什么的
不知道到底想讲什么。
已经尽力，这肃杀冷冽的氛围营造地很不错了，就是这个故事还是烂尾了，还是太赶了。这种质感要是能稍微再延长一点拍成电视剧，说不定能成为第二个鬼入侵。
今年的恐怖片都是雷声大雨点小，又一部失望之作…
R级恐怖片《鹿角》好吧…之前我可是很期待的！结果看完正片后感觉，真的一般了点，我承认，有些镜头和桥段确实挺R级的…但是也就仅限于此了吧！剧情逻辑性上还是有很大问题的…怪物的来源居然是神话传说…怎么了，袭击了人类就开始传染了？一个接一个的传播？最后女主大战鹿角怪，结果呢？草草了事…就简单的划了两下就解决了？他儿子还来了个补刀…哎…我真的也是无力吐槽了！总体看下来就是…失望啊！唯一不错的地方，让我觉得居然是此片的一些风光景色，确实是挺美的！美国偏僻小镇，人少地多，风光秀美，再来个神话怪物？好吧…也就这样了吧！（看来女主小时候也有不堪回首的童年啊！）（最后还留了个小尾巴…算了，还是别拍续集了吧）
最精彩的部分都在预告里了，剧情相当的弱，就是了两贩毒的其中一人在矿洞里被远古的邪灵附身，然后开始吃人，而且这玩意原宿主死后就会进入另一个人的身体里。除此以外其他的角色都没有存在的意义，难道就想展现一下怪物也会虎毒不食子？一般恐怖片都有些核心价值，比如不要去危险的地方啊，不要做坏事啊，或者反应人性，或表现人力无法对抗的未知啊。这片难道就想告诉我们，人不要吃人，不然就会变成喜欢吃人的怪物？？？？？
能很明显看出来导演想表达很多深层次的含义，包括自然的，殖民的，家庭的等等，但所有元素都只是点到为止，就显得没有重点了。小朋友的演技很不错。另外，这个结局太草率了……恐怖氛围也营造🉐比较普通，没有什么惊喜，中规中矩之作
243。听完整的呀，氛围感做得比较北欧，弱光摄影，景拍得也不错。就是剧本本身实在太浅了，想用补充女主身世的方法扩展内容量，但这与主故事融合得很糟糕。结尾还是轮回感吧，这片拍不了续集。
但剧情拖沓，人物行为前后矛盾，高潮剧情戛然而止
连其中讽刺都看不出来 觉得不好笑的 不如就别看电影了 看看猴子洗澡的短视频吧
风景不错，但是怪物被弱鸡女主轻易杀死太突兀了
故事中规中矩3分
故事很棒！但是感觉人物刻画没那么丰满
我看过的第1390部电影，《鹿角》我给6.1分。
铺垫一个小时，最后十分钟被女主一把匕首KO的鹿角怪
答案是毒品。
