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".
成色出乎意料的不错，技法很娴熟，剧情流畅，虽然戏剧冲突不算多么激烈，即使有一条女主深入险境救夫的主线情节，剧情缺乏一个大高潮，就连最后火海逃生的危机也没有太多的紧迫感，男闺蜜的牺牲、逃生艇中的一系列困境都比较套路。但演员们的表现普遍都出色，冷寂的氛围很深刻，几个大场面也给足诚意了，女主的表现很亮眼。
2022.4.**钻井平台倒塌，女主救男主，搭上男助手性命
如此严重波及范围广泛的灾难，国家领导都没有露个面，也没有和周边国家协作沟通，海面溢出石油说点就点。。。剧情还是略显简陋单薄了。
我感觉这故事我看过……上一个这类型的ex还是草莓过敏给女主涂枕头上了。没有任何亮点……看完觉得黄阿丽和刘玉玲的流媒体romcom好冤，竟然在一个range.
而他们自己的储备，就只有北海油田那点儿东西，现在还快抽干了，就如电影里表现的，油气开采导致地层真空，爆发地质灾害，当然这是想象，但不是没可能。
三观不错。恋爱中有人沉溺于肉体的欢愉，有人关注情感的交融，无论如何都应该忠诚于自己当下的情感。不合适的时候别委屈自己，因为那伤害也包括对方。
神马情况，男女主角都没事，把拉来帮忙的小伙嫩死了？
还行吧，女主给力。可惜了工具人强行送，还不如皆大欢喜算了~善哉~
亚瑟明明能活，导演却让他死了！还有，你救你男人，为什么拉上别人？其次光头男最后看着亚瑟出去自己无动于衷，什么品性啊！！
比较偏好莱坞的一种手法，节奏比较明快，但是压迫感不够
女主真冷静，能想到救生艇加水压仓下潜；亚瑟真男人，和前面提不动包的反差太绝了；救生艇真牛逼，能在水下启动，这是带着氧化剂还是电驱所以不需要氧气？救生队也牛逼，能穿过原油刚烧完的浓烟去把那俩人救出来，男主……emmmmmmmm……
有時會想起那段美好又傷心的時光，即使如此，還是想說，謝謝。
也是可以给四星的，给一星的人就有点过分了，最近天鹅挽歌和杨之后很火，但那种调调实在受不了，两个片子我都只看了二十多分钟就受不了了，那种细腻的悠悠的矫情的家庭情感调调，太恶心了，还不如罗马那部片子，罗马虽然墨迹琐碎随意，但也够硬朗，所以我给了一星，但这片子，很好看。
剧情太一般，
中规中矩吧，小众的灾难片类型，但是有些不够爽快，灾难场景的刻画不够丰富
人类对自然的索取过度贪婪的后果就是不知道自然会以怎样的姿态来回报，至于最后的强行牺牲略显唐突了
容易被低估的爱情喜剧，I Want You Back的喜剧包袱能让人开怀大笑，其对爱情部分的描写也能让人沉浸其中。
还不错，喜欢这种叙事风格和情节，北欧的剧情就好像其装修一样，演绎一股北欧风，内咧，不过分张扬，冷静，但是我喜欢这样。
6分，钻井平台灾难片确实没怎么见过，最恐怖的灾难不是发生事故后的人员伤亡，而是后续石油泄露，环境污染和可怕的多米诺骨牌效应，本来男友遇难，女主带着同事救人，差点就变成三人一起遇难，最终结局是一换一… 这样的救援意义到底是什么，哎
情节过瘾，立意有引人深思的地方。但最后男主选择女主的原因交代得有点不够。
