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".
做作，听到魂魄喊救命简直笑出声。不喜欢选角。可惜一个好故事被搞成这种混杂各种烂俗元素的青春片。
2021年最好的电影出现了！！！女人对男，性的恐惧被表现得淋漓尽致，后半程持续不断地输出这种恐惧，劈头盖脸而来。时空倒转，身份互换相当漂亮的剪辑手法，BGM起到了真正烘托牵引的作用，屏幕就像第三面镜子，把观众往里面拽，太精彩了！当然，一如既往的我们观众看心灵骑旅的时候会感同身受成年人的孤独，而对于女性在电影里的遭遇就只是一个故事，一个讨巧的题材罢了，男性视角不在电影中，而在电影外。
什么叫对电影来说剧本不重要，这就叫剧本不重要！不是说什么烂剧本都行，而是知道要什么。看下来全程被吸着走，几个段落一气呵成，非常厉害了。
伦敦聊斋。安雅不怎么适合这个造型吧，不否认她的性感，但她的性感不是导演试图塑造的这种，像个小女孩偷穿妈妈的真丝睡衣高跟鞋去勾引继父。结尾的秀真土，别让我再看见那件粉色衣服了。
我认为这部电影根本没有多么玄乎 也没有什么如同寂静岭一般的表世界里世界啥的 核心思想太简单了 London can be a lot, 尤其是离谱的租金会让人找不到合适的房子，你让任何一个贫穷女大学生住这种公寓试试，隔音差就不说了，窗帘还不遮光，让你半夜想睡觉的时候外面霓虹灯这么照一个礼拜，谁住谁精神分裂 所有的伏笔到最后一个没用上 麦高芬完全没有 除了anya美艳不可方物以外 整部片子就是一个completly fiasco罢了。
埃德加·赖特视听上的派头还是好，肉眼可见地从不少恐怖惊悚经典里汲取养分，但问题其实和Baby Driver一样，技术的圆滑更衬出灵光不再的尴尬。剧作是基本做到环环相扣了，但真的无甚惊喜。结尾的设计能强烈感受到女编剧的存在感，卷土重来的父权亡灵乞求“正义”，但无法缔结同盟的女性仍能相互共情，复仇的罪孽就留给火海涤清。
仿今敏式视听，仿《灵魂狂欢节》&《冷血惊魂》式复古，呈现出一个空洞的三流文本。早料到黛安·里格不会是一个普通房东老太太如此简单。只是以为特伦斯·斯坦普是位智者或世外高人，结果是一障眼法。
（三星半）
这么致敬冷血惊魂我真的吓/笑死了。确定不是月光光心慌慌？知道你自带bgm但是不能随便乱放吧。
This time it‘s only me and myself.
那么你就会看到《奇奇蒂蒂：救援突击队》。（怪不得你俩比不上另三只花栗鼠火哈！！！
越往后越智障，女主全程一脸抽筋，男主白痴脸工具人儿，营造恐怖氛围全靠滋哇乱叫、满街乱跑，结局更糊弄，咋的靠三件不同颜色的同款裙子走三秒钟T台是明日之星了？
那么你就会看到《奇奇蒂蒂：救援突击队》。（怪不得你俩比不上另三只花栗鼠火哈！！！
本以为是恐怖片却是部类似人格分裂的蜕变妹子的电影，很是失望
不够悬疑，也不够恐怖。当女主剪了新发型之后，这剧情就开始急转直下。
看个乐子吧 虽然最后和好了 但我还是没法接受奇蒂之间产生隔阂分开那么多年 别把这种俗套的现实世界成年人故事套在童话角色的身上呀 就让他俩当世界上最快乐的花栗鼠 过着玩弄鸭鸭（。）的简单生活不行吗
网大电影，前半部分尚有逐步引入的类型节奏，后半部分如同《前程似锦的女孩》般粗暴混乱，最后的僵尸乱斗简直低智得想哭
迪士尼的版权炫耀和保护宣传电影，大胆的想法和厉害的制作，混杂但并没有特别违和，但是就电影本身而言一般般，故事框架仍旧太老套了，套了许多新鲜事物上去就真的太缝合太花里胡哨了。另外反派为什么是彼得潘呀😡卡通角色都是按设定存活的吧，唯独长不大的彼得潘长大成了油腻大叔我不能接受🥲
2.5 ·喜欢女主演员，赖特还是找西蒙佩吉玩吧
情怀首当其冲，秀IP依然是迪爸爸的套路。
