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".
古早味冒险故事，马马虎虎，没惊喜，大猫乖，女主美。
不过感觉强森演来演去都是这种类型的角色，《勇敢者游戏》、《摩天营救》以及《狂暴巨兽》，都是这种风格。期待《黑亚当》能够有所突破吧。
强森演骗子还是有点意思。虽然人设上有突破，但大体上还是强森式模板化英雄。有点像把一个本来适合Ryan reynolds或者Brad pitt或者George clooney或者Hugh jackman的角色巨石化了。
插科打诨的娱乐性不错，美国小岳岳的坏和《绝命毒师》里一样
迪士尼为了景区而拍的，一贯的迪士尼套路，不过为了巨石强森可以一看
Good news: No way they gonna do a sequel.
公平地讲，其实是一部不错的商业片，足够奇幻，故事也不是很平，主角之间的火花也不错，虽然有点小儿科。可惜的是，它和《加勒比海盗》太像了，却比之又差一个层次。把几部《加勒比海盗》的元素拆开拼凑一下，你就得到了一个《丛林奇航》。
小白厅真可爱edagr也是真的好帅捏🤤🤤🤤🤤
也就是《木乃伊》的一个脚趾头吧，片头女主爬梯子那里致敬明显，特效有点假，两人最后的火花还不错
不错的合家欢电影。不过作为老牌殖民国家的英国，这样挤兑西班牙人和德国人有点不地道。
挺有意思的！如果我今年9岁，总是晚上在电视上看到这个电影，把它当作木乃伊似的喜欢。
三位主角性格鲜明，都很逗很好看，强森越老越帅的典型。
丛林版《加勒比海盗》，可片中角色并不像《加》那样充满魅力，感情线突兀且毫无CP感；剧情约等于没有且充斥着无用的对白，无意义的争吵和好，无亮点的冒险场面。前几个月因《库伊拉》对迪士尼真人部的期待在本片之后打的稀碎，作为一部奇幻冒险片拍的如此无聊也实属罕见！
中规中矩的冒险合家欢，和加勒比海盗不要太像
看似是网飞流水线上的动作爽片，大女主复仇，拳拳到肉，刀刀见血。剧情当然也是为燃而设置，孤女15h之间的相爱相杀的确站不住脚，但本片的优秀之处在于东西方流行文化的冲撞与融合。霓虹年轻人、J-Rock、街头动漫等pop culture的元素以及东瀛文化中人与人之间的羁绊、日本黑帮的家信念年等都有着不突兀的融合。伍秃怎么又演迷人坏爸爸！
好莱坞奇幻冒险片行活。全程毫无惊喜，但能看。找强森这种级别的演员也是花了点钱吧。然后在这种爆米花剧情里，还埋了欧洲殖民者屠杀南美土著、对俄国人的丑化的好莱坞式政治正确，真尼玛烦。
这部电影的取景地很不错，很有亚马逊探险的感觉。
亚马逊的风光太赞了，惊险刺激，如果我有一艘破船也想去走一走。不过从影片来看不会是太好的体验，而且还有那么多可爱的和可怕的动物。画面太逼真，如身临其境。
主题乐园电影，仅供儿童玩乐。#迪士尼喂养计划#
有人说跟加勒比海盗很像。那他真的是没看过加勒比海盗。这只是迪士尼的一个华丽浮躁的幼儿故事罢了。
