剧情介绍

  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".

    把全片的慢镜头减掉,时长能缩短三分之一(笑)。影片的服化道和场景都很有质感很用心,有史诗级电影的感觉了。男主搭配那个发型也挺帅的。前半段还挺好看的,后半段可能是在沙漠里就有点点枯燥了。应该不会二刷,期待下一部。手动3.5。

    总算是个电影了,虽然特写镜头堪比渣导,汉斯季默就像三百流的川菜厨师,满耳朵辣椒没完没了灌下来。能不能做成个成功的系列产品就天知道了。

    三星都给导演。受原著束缚的行货,声光电用力过猛,表演一惊一乍,剧情基本可猜(比林奇版也好不到哪里),不如更放松的2049和降临,科幻粉不要动不动星辰大海搞得像没见过星辰大海一样,不就是点儿君王臣子梦吗,还不如星战草根世界咂劲。圣经是严肃文学讨论问题的起点之一,科幻就我抄我借我最牛逼我史上最伟大。咦惹!

    母亲,如果你不曾作出与父亲结合-移民-生我这三位一体的选择,那你是否能拥有百万种可能的人生,像胡金铨、王家卫、成龙、周星驰或皮克斯电影中那样丰富多彩的人生,反正哪种都比现在这不断被拒绝的琐碎生活更好?女儿的存在主义危机,说到底最字面的意义不过是女儿的存在本身与母亲三位一体的选择紧紧相连,解决这个危机的唯一方式就只有母亲能够坚定地说出:我见过、经历过所有可能性,却还是选择(与你的父亲结合-移民-)做你的母亲。那个因瞬息全宇宙而向往死亡、向往虚无的女儿,亦不过是母女关系中相互伤害所孕育出的一个最极端的面向,因此我觉得「这一切不过是女儿的一场幻梦」这个解释也具有相当的合理性。这电影里刻画的母女关系 trigger 我的部分太多了,我哭了至少一个小时吧,很吓人的观影体验,很难相信男导演能写出这样的剧本,劲儿好大

    脑洞+家庭melodrama让人想到韩国大片。当然实际也是很多好莱坞/周星驰屎尿屁,这同经典亚裔片母题(亲情捆绑,代际价值观冲撞与和解)放一起多少有点割裂影片的效果,但总比taking itself too seriously要好得多,也贴合最后的learned everything been everywhere yet still dealing this life with peace(and love),不再去羡慕远方,对自己对别人都拿得起放得下,就还蛮东方中庸之道的。同时又与西方盛行老调重弹的存在主义/乐观虚无主义相通(是的这就是亚裔Rick and Morty, 在冒险中sort out meaning of life and family issue),真可谓东西合璧,中美合拍

  • 芝锦 9小时前 :

    很棒的影像氛围,达到了诗意的高度,这是导演一向的优点,无需赘述(但也没有更多的突破,如果这是我看的第一部,会毫不犹豫给四星),然而比起《银翼杀手》和《降临》的高概念,这个故事似乎太具象地在follow表层的情节了,拖了“诗意”的后腿,人物的演绎依然是2021年的地球普通人,与全片力图营造的未来高级感格格不入,这种反差让我始终很难入戏………

  • 那瑞锦 5小时前 :

    其实还是蛮好看的,画面很漂亮,飞机飞船都很漂亮,不仅有我喜欢的在外星球打仗情节,还有更中意的在外星球搞邪教片段。存在的问题也很突出,一个是情节很弱,搞了很宏大的音乐和画面结果无事发生,我半路都笑出来了。二个是男主角比柴鸡还柴的肉体,太没说服力了!就这样还跟人肉搏,你骗鬼!还有男主角死鱼一样的演技也很吓人,他xx死了我都比他伤心!對了,里面有个反派头头是芝麻糊做的,太好笑了

  • 海震 7小时前 :

    史诗大片一般能做到史很难做到诗,这部都做到了。出色的配乐和音效,把氛围渲染到了极致。一个古典部族故事套上宏大的科幻世界,在熟悉和陌生的感官中交互。导演有一把清晰的比例尺,衡量巨大物体如虫洞到微小颗粒如汗液,特效终于不仅仅是构造视觉冲击,更是置人于其中。

  • 龚千雁 2小时前 :

    《银翼杀手2049》之后再次肯定维伦纽瓦不是我的菜,他的审美有点像某种“极简北欧风”家居效果图,做作到疯。配乐再次让我银翼杀手2049ptsd。

  • 美云 8小时前 :

    可能是imax的原因,配乐太tm吵了,最后20分钟已开始耳鸣。故事和科幻没啥关系,科幻只是展示奇观的理由而已,这是我最喜欢的地方。期待多拍几部。

    这部电影注定是有门槛的,可以想象会有人给差评然后留言:“难道就我一个人觉得这片子一般吗?”自信点,会有很多人这么想。

  • 祁宝生 1小时前 :

    导演野心很大,想拍出史诗级巨作的亚子,只希望第二部不掉水准。让观众以主角“梦境先知”的视角观看,两个半小时好像啥都没讲,又好像充满遐想(瞎想)。爸爸的身材不错,果体居然有点像雕塑。希望妈妈的姐妹会的政治野心再昭然若揭一点。以及用赞达亚跟甜茶的亲亲留住观众格局小了点。(大陆片源看开头就怀疑有删减,和裁剪)

  • 鄢嘉淑 5小时前 :

    故事都讲不好,没有看过原著的表示挺不友好的,还有其中的设定,汉语系医生是叛徒还被砍,作为说汉语的我看得有些不适,原著是50年前,现在都1202了,不能改改?说到底就是不想。还有,乔什布洛林扮演的护卫军官开始那么的热衷护驾,结果敌军真的来了,却不管统帅了?之后也没个交代,人哪去了?这个电影啊,大牌云集,剧情稀烂,可惜大牌们了
