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".
知道为什么总觉得影版比动画片差在哪儿了，差在情绪渲染太弱，缺乏神配乐！缺乏超级惊艳的镜头！动画剧场版的配乐和镜头的美感可以作为影视剧教科书。
《追忆篇》完成了对绯村剑心形象的补完，他的不恭与自在，脱胎于血与火的摧残以及永逝挚爱后的大悲。
好像有意让哈雷昆往后靠了靠给行走的荷尔蒙Idris Alba腾位置，not that I'm complaining
值四星，给佐藤健的打戏和飚血暴力美学多一星。
已经算是尽可能的还原动画了吧，但毕竟当年的追忆篇已封神，真人版比动画还含蓄，在节奏的张力上和画面呈现的美学上逊色不少，也是不能强求的事。这个系列的发型设计我一直理解不能，虽说确实不可能跟动画一样吧，但大家普遍没洗头的样子真是让人看了出戏。以及，近十年过去了，最帅的还是斋藤…
过去的迟早会失去，遇见的明天再美好，也抵不过过去失去的美好。
追忆中的《追忆篇》，不论是ova还是电影，多年前看的情节皆已模糊，与其说是重温剧情，不如说是在追寻过去的记忆吧。故事还是那样凄美得令人怅然。佐藤健感觉更帅了，也没想到有村架纯原来那么适合雪代巴。有些巧合的是，看完想再看一遍被惊醒的剑心向巴拔刀的画面，随手在进度条上便点到了，也是一种缘分吧。
2021.7.31 @ Vue WestEnd, 滚导风格明显，套路满满的反套路片，美术指导可能是昆汀爱好者，满屏幕的红红红。Peacemaker和Bloodsport嘴炮pk算亮点，预测Harley Quinn这身红裙又会成为今年万圣节爆款。
詹姆斯古恩真是太适合反英雄了，各种“放飞自我”的小反转铺满全片，配上华丽的视听带来顶满的娱乐性。更难得的是本片具备DCEU鲜见的流畅叙事与逻辑自洽，观众对“超现实”段落的Reaction不再是尴尬癌晚期而是震惊姨母笑，真是高下立见。最后，没有扎导的DCEU什么也不是，拒绝拉踩！建议心怀怨气的粉丝多学学滚导，把米老鼠写成救世主，Real Peacemaker!
观影建议：全程不要问为什么！这部没有粉丝滤镜是不可能的。大量情绪的描绘和氛围的强调可以看得出来是刻意而为之，可这样并不代表更深刻，反而重复和冗余，并且直接把系列最津津乐道的日本传武削弱的可有可无。仍然最喜欢第一部，二、三保持水准。至于终章的这两部，就当没看过吧。
这系列看疲了，整体观感一部不如一部，追忆篇完全是剑戟片外壳的爱情片，主旨完全服务于剑心和雪代巴的恩怨情仇，非常无聊，而且这俩在我看来毫无cp感。剑心的面瘫脸配上如同瞎子一般的表情，传说中精彩的武术并没有太多篇幅。
看的太过瘾了！比第一部强了太多，暴力，疯狂，浪漫，幽默，叙事节奏把控非常到位，从开场的反高潮大战就已经把我吸引住了，漫画式的小转场也是很好的调和，R级尺度的放开更是让滚导比《银河护卫队》更放的开，除了一如既往的金曲串烧，血肉横飞的暴力，无处不在的恶趣味（巨cult派大星，蠢萌鲨鱼王，老鼠密集恐惧症），还有各种新奇的小创意（小丑女鲜花下的屠杀），人物形象也是非常鲜活，时不时的便当操作也是意外连连，蕴含其中的政治表达也是颇有讽刺意味在，在今年好莱坞电影整体疲软的情况下，《自杀小队2》真的是给我狠狠回了一口血，观感异常舒适。（9/10）
想起来来补分。这已经是还原度最高的漫改了。
居然巴的造型都高度还原了？！！！
真就是古恩把《银河护卫队》的清汤锅底换成了麻辣的，在最初的新奇感过后只剩下重复性所带来的麻木。
节奏掌控一流，人物个性鲜明，番茄酱管够，恶趣味大尺度此起彼伏，配乐贴切狂野够劲，花式法克一路到底的成就绝世好法克，彩蛋铸就新反派。曾经死侍独贱闯江湖，当下自杀小队七贱下天山；古有八爷手撕鬼子，今有鲨鱼王手撕陆战队；决战紫禁之巅之活鼠熔城实在重口味。当哈莉·奎茵发动秘奥义施展茅山神打术召唤基努·里维斯上身的那一刻，DC宇宙年度最佳已然诞生！自由引导人民，哥斯拉板载，哈利路亚！
这才是真正的自杀小队！！！R级血浆满天飞的DC才好看，滚导牛皮~
什么都好。拔刀术太可了。就是完全复刻ova这点有些许遗憾，毕竟动画难以超越。翻看第一部才发现好多桥段其实是第一部就演了的。的确既是最终章又是the beginning
前面一路杀进营帐才发现死的都是友军
处处弥漫着原作的影子，又看得出很努力想要摆脱。只能说，神作在前，其实能1比1完美复刻比这么努力的创新要来得更好。另，158正太剑心变这么大只非常不适应
