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".
密闭空间里能做出的张力都做出来了，够血腥也够暴力，如果不要那些闪回和警局以外的镜头就更喜欢了
电影风格模糊，在黑色与爆米花爽片之间摇摆不定，导演先后学习了盖•里奇、昆汀与吴宇森，这知识算是学杂了。开篇慢热，警察局像极百无聊赖的一切职场，神经病杀手的出现预示剧情渐入佳境，后续的反转虽属于制式范畴，但后劲也是蛮大的。
这部片北美网上影评人骂成狗但观众评分尚可，怀疑一是因为把白左精神导师列宁和精神事件俄国革命黑出翔（请坚持看完彩蛋），二是不喜这种英殖民帝国虽然衰落了但还靠白人贵族绅士秘密操控世界大局的设定（其实开头用布尔战争强调绅士精神还挺搞笑的），三者剧情和人设确实有许多严重脱漏，猜测是不是中途制片人/编剧/金主爸爸换人或改了主意，战场戏份前后简直像是两部电影，分开各有爽点、合则风格冲突。前半部戏谑成分重，后半部一改架空叙事，融梗许多世界史欧洲史大事，一战堑壕战戏份和父辈眼看后辈白白牺牲的惨烈伤痛，比正经战争片也不逊太多（就是整个成长线终结得颇突兀和反高潮）。反派很好猜，但结合历史感觉设定为爱尔兰人更合适（毕竟他们把事情做成了）。非裔助手尚有布尔战争铺垫，女助手基本为了政治正确强行加的工具人。
三星半，合同工和神经病的区别还蛮有意思的，最后也不必那么正确让女主继续追捕吧
分数：65
费因斯的叫声好sexy,我竟然没认出Tristan是古迪！
小成本电影，也没能拍出大反馈，故事比较平。一般吧
就是女主的伤这么重，还这么能打...
高峰就是警局中的大叔追小妞，其他的卧底，话痨，反杀，诈死，复活，好像都无关紧要了
故事很拉跨，枪战勉强有点看头，巴特勒还是不要勉强文戏了。如果以为能看到《血战13号警署》请谨慎观看。
ps,以及，短评和讨论区的各位精苏比电影本身的段子有意思多了。
说是已经通知了外面的警察，然后，第一个第二个到的是救火车，呵呵。别看这里的家伙们很差劲，一夜之间几乎被全灭，看起来夸张不可能，其实，对于大洋对面来说，有人一把刀都可以做到，同样让家伙们心惊胆颤，扬名世界，青史留名，没啥特别的，专门拍个枪战片就弱了。
WHAT THE FUCK (in a good way) (but also in a bad way what the fuck) Someone def made this when they’re on really poor quality acid
先睹为快，所谓高清4K画质，电影🎦也许最后真的不是电影院🎦公映为唯一观看渠道了…给3星勉强
，男票看得很激动lol btw两位老大哥好帅啊值得多加一颗星
有些剧情有点扯但总体来说值五星，扣一星给主角光环太过分以及大哭桥段太多有害身体健康。哭得多刺激？那一瞬间剧情我都在电影院里不能克制地“嗷”出来了。导演是个搞笑的人，不是那么严谨但是值得一看。
有点类似剧本杀(？)的设定。 几个主要人物形象塑造得很突出。
冲着杰拉德巴特勒来的，果然警察局又陷落了。七分。
又是一部小场景而靠剧情取胜的电影，在一个边陲小镇的警察局，进来的几个都是凶悍的猛人，看谁活到最后。剧情的设定本是不错，但是过程总是欠了点火候，沸点不到，不然评分应该更高。
属实过于难看了，网盘也不用见了，看彩蛋还有续集真的承受不来
