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".
What is the price of freedom？
虽然他们乐队的经历比大多乐队的经历干净多了，没有吸毒，没有乱搞，但他们还是有搞砸一切的能力，幸好迷途知返
尴尬得给我抠出一个别墅。。。玩梗玩不到点上，傻缺的青春校园剧，和重金属囧途差远了！死亡金属画什么黑金属尸脸？大提琴倒是有一点Apocalyptica的感觉，但整体风格太混杂了，这都啥跟啥啊啊啊啊？！
好像美国青少年干啥起名都一定要带fuker。。。。
我是金属党，所以多给一星。片子拍的是真烂啊！
开始觉得普通和套路，到最后各色人等情绪是真的铺垫到位了。自由的代价真大。这场锡尔弗顿之围发生在1980年，而曼德拉释放已经是10年后的1990年了。
不是片儿拍得不好，但确实闷，闷到我花了四周分了五次才看完，谢天谢地its down.
拍得很不错。青春校园故事的老套虽然没能摆脱掉但这不重要，故事讲得不错，没有逻辑硬伤，也没有很媚俗的地方，有几个镜头真是挺漂亮，乐队大赛时吉他手飞起真乃神来之笔。演员演得都很棒，尤其是吉他手的颜艺，相当可以，虽然我只打了三颗星可这也不重要，我对这种类型的电影不是太感冒不过这是一部好电影，赞它！
男二是最常见的金属党 留长发穿T恤 无论多大一直中二 中间来应聘的那个金色头发如果做乐手一定很招女孩子喜欢 每个青春电影里都会出现一个傻大个 女主和男主有点weirdo但很可爱 最普通的衬衫穿在少年身上也闪闪发光 想念在迷笛冲撞 想回到19岁
嗯，好看……在超高颜值和才艺的支撑下恣意张扬！当然：乐团大战的金牌队长家里有保安把守的庄园，银牌队长老爸是整型外科医生～拿白金百夫长信用卡宠儿子，买乐器一笔就一万三千多……美元啊！
一部美國青春校園片。基本所有美國青春片基本都逃不過友情這根主心骨
可可爱爱的重金属修炼手册 几场练鼓和最终表演戏份都压住场了 小情侣的化学反应也还行 Jaeden Martell弟弟的存在感不容小觑 从恐怖到悬疑到如今的青春电影都表现不错 而D.B. Weiss再就业的这部口碑也hold住了。
黑人男主格外丑，黑人女主格外贰，还有不知道是黑人都这样还是啥，俩人演技浮夸，土味浓厚。。。有种阿三拍的那种土报子模仿美国大片的感觉
完成度很高，看完很舒服，然而全是套路，朴实无华的套路。满心期待大提琴跟重金属的结合，还是篇幅太短了。
挺多共鸣的地方，也想起了好朋友。但更多是突兀和套路剧情。 考虑到老少咸宜，行吧。
故事还是美式校园青春片的老套路，但光是片中的经典金属乐和一个接一个金属元素就很令人兴奋了。主创团队强大，包括权游编剧D.B. Weiss（还亲自参与主题曲的作词）和音乐总监RATM的Tom Morello，还不要忽略原声音乐制作Ramin Djawadi，“War Pigs”大提琴版很容易联想起他在西部世界里贡献的令人难忘的“Wicked Games”。Kirk Hammet, Scoot Ian, Rob Halford和Tom Morello客串出镜也很惊喜，男主长得好像Soony Moore(Skrillex)啊，尤其是剃掉半边头的发型。
也就落一个道具比国产摇滚乐主题电影强 其他全方位拉跨
from skullfucker to skullflower is just like from hate to love.
随手点开还不赖系列，演奏部分都很酷了，其余中二拧巴但傲娇。妹妹大提琴的intro真惊艳，audition片段金发帅哥进来五秒翻车有点好笑。
非常非常青春中二cliche了 但讲的metal band故事加半星
