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".
一部完整的《正义联盟》序曲，有惊喜有遗憾，但瑕不掩瑜，填补了四年前内心的缺口！
实事求是深度上与《守望者》云泥之别。
PS喜欢这片的人自己去多开几个账号给流媒体多花点钱吧，没钱的穷逼请闭麦白嫖，私信来骂人的都是被戳中了气急败坏的，只会让我看到你们穷酸跳脚又拿我没办法的样子觉得很开心。XD
这场战斗导演最终在粉丝的带领下取得了胜利。近四小时的影片节奏很慢，能够娓娓道来的故事一定是个好故事，而且讲出了极强的史诗和挽歌的艺术形式，这是漫威所没有的。很多地方恢复了较黑色的设定，每个角色都更饱满，最喜欢新加的钢骨的前史。
梦回欧美圈全胜时光。就停在这也挺好，永不担心烂尾的华梦一场
如果当初我在电影院看到的是这个，我得多开心啊。 （更新：实在看不下去了，有些人的指责太令人困惑了，请问好莱坞有什么导演，能够在电影里有四五个角色没有介绍过的情况下，将其背景故事完美融合进主线，并且保证主要脉络的观感极其清晰的？华纳急功近利地选择这样的立项顺序，导致了想要实现，就不得不添加这几个角色的故事，去勾勒他们，这难以避免地使得影片时间增加，故事出现一些问题。一般的电影只需要聚焦在核心的几个角色上，并且以主角为核心，但是这种集结漫改电影的难度在于，尤其是大多数没有铺垫的情况下，如何让每个成员都要有血有肉？至于喷达克赛德弱的，更加困惑了。这达克赛德明明是被宙斯、阿尔忒弥斯和阿瑞斯几个神联手打败的，转眼变成了，被人打败的，醒醒，这三个都是古代旧神，极其强大，宙斯一个闪电一劈就把母盒分开了）
多少个镜头都充斥着扎导对这个宇宙的思考和热爱，把如此庞大的宇宙和概念完整地搬到银幕上
希望是今天的存在大于其他吧。Hallelujah.
這才是真正的正義聯盟！看到Batfleck的回歸讓人熱淚盈眶。Black Suit Superman極其華麗。就連反派Steppenwolf也有自己的人物發展。能看到真人版的Darkseid實屬於活久見系列。札導真的是獨具一格，節奏把握得非常到位，四個小時後仍讓人覺得意猶未盡。只可惜華納砸了自己的金飯碗，我們沒有機會看到這段故事的後續了。但不管怎樣，我們能看到札導的原版真的是值得慶幸和感激。
【C－】四小时的电影时长本质就是作弊，因为任何导演在这个时长下都能把故事讲得清清楚楚，甚至在如此时长下反而会让影片塞入更多无意义的臃肿桥段，而这部《正联扎剪》便是最具代表的反面案例。无论文戏还是武戏，永远都是慢镜头在肆虐横行。扎克放弃华纳所给的导演费用，换来了对导剪版的完整掌控权，以全力展现他对《正义联盟》的艺术构想，说的难听点，他可以全方面喷泄自己的电影品味，让慢镜头彻底化作强奸影像。可能扎克自己也知道，这是最后一次指导超英大片的机会，于是便将一切构想全盘塞入影片，无用的故事细节和灾难的慢镜头实在太多太多，实质仍是空洞无比。唯一有价值的片段仍是最终大战，尤其是闪电侠逆转战局，特效的完成度与想象力值得肯定，但也仅限于此。到这个份上也别互相甩锅了，扎克、华纳与尾灯，全是啥暖。
尾灯对不起，原来扎斯林说拍的好的地方全是你拍的。
又草草看了尾灯版的，扎导剪辑剧情还是差蛮大的，最讨厌的闪电侠摸胸也删了，团队的作用也增强了，整体色调更阴郁（特别最后超人的披风）
粉丝吊打尾灯说你拍的这不是《正义联盟》是《止×耳明》，于是召唤渣导弄出一版《☆囸═図╬聯〆盟←∞》……视觉风格有了，遍地慢镜的作者性也有了，可归根到底还是个无聊的超英故事，拉长了反而更显无聊。第一次看见影片高潮段落结束后还有半小时的进度条。其实人人缺爱个个死老爸的英雄们有很多事可聊，可渣导显然不认为这对刻画人物及团队有任何帮助。都是集队打怪的片子，并不是抻到四个小时就能比肩《七武士》的，对吧？
扎导版《正联》开播后，我狠狠扇了自己两耳光，因为人人都说自己是华纳内部员工，人人都说他知道一些事情，人人都说导剪根本不存在。
越长的时长随之而来的是扎在逻辑和节奏问题的无限暴露。配乐负分。时长作弊叙事，明显应该承载更多，但做到的任务也仅仅在维护一个病态的主干，前半部分很大是在构造自己的《守望者》去串联，但他一言难尽的故事水平和逻辑导向明显把这部分引向灾难。后半段非常明显反刍钢躯和bvs，同时对各种漫画情节进行一个缝合，是一种综合性的串联，进步甚微。本质上还是他对自己作品的一个延续化，但实际上的进步性几乎为零，扎对作品的自反实在是微乎其微。
9.0还是情怀加分了，8.0差不多了。肯定比2017年的版本好，因为把故事讲清楚了。但是扎导的慢镜头太多了，其实三个小时刚刚好！
最后，华纳司马不送~
4个小时真的真的真的每一帧都根本不显得冗长多余🙏🏻这是一个由扎导一手缔造出的DC世界体系
不是粉丝，院线版也看了，当初被《守望者》惊艳到，这个导演剪辑版确实有那味了，配乐色彩到英雄人物雕塑般的镜头，每个人物故事都有头有尾，看得比较爽。（平行世界那些梗以前涉猎过，后来实在太复杂就放弃了）我爱老爷。
