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".
（32）2022年4月16日看完。前期悬疑感有了，但是片子过半好像还没给观众透露太多什么有用的信息，然后最后就直接给答案。然后可能我没集中精神，感觉太点快有点乱，角色跟角色身份都差点没分清楚。设定还行。
12小时一次的魂穿设定不错，这拍法也解决脸盲的障碍，一开始悬疑感蛮好的，动作戏飙车去啥的还行，但是那么快就和女主表明这操作也是绝，中间部分就乏了，bug太多了，乞丐大叔倒是蛮出彩的。其实故事就是黑帮的故事
在传统故事的基础上包了一件新衣，不必较真，看着玩就是啦
设定不错，但是故事讲的很松散，一点也不吸引人，挺失望的
故事的设计还是挺有想法的，但是手法就有点跟不上，不过最后的打斗有几分“大叔”的风格，短兵相接，刀刀见血，还是值得一看。
能够做自己真的很勇敢。有这样一位妈妈也是真的幸运。整体三星但是因为Pritti多给一颗星，她太棒了！！
题材挺新颖，中间的枪战动作戏也不错，但刚开始看的确实有点懵逼，不过将自己带入也还好，值得一看。
创意还是有的，就是叙事有点乱，一开始看不懂在干嘛，剩下的时间都是在打打打…
刚开始看一头雾水，只知道主角穿梭各个人物之间，不知道演什么，一个小时左右才交代大致剧情。
高阶版《内在美》，还是可以的。看新的《黑客帝国》前的一点调剂哈哈哈
很一般的影片还是平权、价值观、认同那一套没有新意，对于这种事情在我看来就是“关我屁事”和“关你屁事”的区别。歌也不是朗朗上口，唯一惊艳的一场戏是“艺术品就是我”，如果不是英奥提名了我可能都看不到这部影片。
题材真的很有意思，脑洞也挺大，前期真的挺紧张刺激，就是揭晓答案后，后边变成了俗套的黑帮片，没有把这个点子用到最后的大决战上，有点可惜
好喜欢这个音乐剧……影视版是顺着cruella的artie找到的，这也太对味儿了
73/100。直观上，本片在歌曲与编舞上的吸引度，让《致埃文·汉森》马上变得毫无魅力；话题上，对于LGBT人群中不常出现在影视中的“T”的深度刻画，也比《致埃文·汉森》并不稀奇的青少年危机问题变得没了什么意思；但是在剧情上就跟《致埃文·汉森》半斤八两了，虽然都有一些不那么平庸的点（《致》的善意谎言的建立和戳破、本片中认清“道不同不相为谋”的事实），但整体还是有些没劲甚至不符合电影的定义，而本片更是利用了许多煽情的桥段来扭摆观众情绪，一下子让逼格降了不少。不过对于人物的刻画还是很丰满的，男主和Richard E. Grant自然不必说，但让我印象最深刻的却是Sarah Lancashire，她可能塑造了今年最伟大的母亲形象，而她角色的所作所为，更可以让某个还将“娘炮”视为错误的国家自惭形秽。
要搞死一个人反而给他注射毒品，太牵强了。而这是整部剧的合理化前提。扣一颗星，其它方面都很不错，复杂的故事条理清晰，节奏明快，自成风格。
韩国的科幻、奇幻片近年来频频试水，有的作品已经达到一个较高水准了，这部心理科幻片也还不错
不断魂穿在一个贩毒加警察内鬼的案件中各个人的男主，无论在怎样都在拯救女主，动作爽片，最后一场戏有点john wick孤胆英雄的味道。
变装历史的回顾和现代“艺术课”两段还蛮惊艳的，从舞美设计角度比《毕业舞会》强了不少，但是emmmm……好听的歌还是没有，蛮可惜。家庭和社区氛围对LGBT社群的友好程度影响真的很重要，没有这些支撑而走出来的“变装皇后”真得很厉害，不辱片中她们的“战士”之名。有机会想看下160分钟高达9.1分的舞台剧，看看完整的《人人都在讨论杰米》的真正模样。
整体节奏相当不错，一顿换脸，最后大爆发，顶级杀手的近距离狙杀
电影需要更多的细节和真实填满
