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".
不过，导演应该借鉴了很多日本剑戟片的拍摄和叙事风格，所以有些地方会感觉怪怪的。但已经很值得鼓励了，现在顶着武侠的烂片烂剧真的太多了，这样脚踏实地的网大已经算是小小的清流了。
虽是网大，粗中有细，老套武侠，就当作是为了这两场动作戏拍一部电影，也无不可。
网大精品，介于短片和长片之间的长度，更像是一次练手，不过总体完成度已经很高了，故事平铺直叙，碍于片长，人物弧光几乎没有，归隐尘世的绝世高手拯救落魄少女，不惜于权贵为敌，以一敌万的个人英雄主义主旋律没有任何新意。也就是因为篇幅使得节奏变得特别顺滑，没有任何多余的废话，都在做减法，对于这片子反倒是个优点，细节也值得称赞，黄色的婚礼和白色的葬礼前后呼应，动作设计和镜头语言也有惊喜之处，让人期待这个导演和团队下一部真正意义上的长片。
看完感嘆譚志剛的演技是如此的自然。之前就對他在牯嶺街的表演就印象極深，這次的角色和“馬公子”有一些共同之處，同時也加入了他自身的特徵，使他能更好融入角色。最後呈現的結果相當不錯，“阿逗”同“馬公子”相比，多了更多内在的層次，。
配乐，摄影，剪辑都是高水准的
好看啊！胜过绝大部分院线电影，就是剧组有点穷。
2022.07.02于南京高科荣境
低成本动作片里的成功之作，动作设计有接近韩国动作片水平，美术设计也不错。
故事开了二倍速的感觉，推进的极快，人物交代相当简单，只能说是顺利讲完了一个故事，远远没到精彩的程度，欠修饰。另外配乐挺好听的但是感觉和本片不是很搭，吉他的音色太抢了
国产版《座头市》，翻拍的很一般，台词啰嗦，画面不错，节奏不稳
服道化不错。但是最让我感到惊喜的是一众演员很敬业很用心，导演对情节的把控，还有摄影对场面的调度，很多场景真是太棒了，一帧帧画面都可以当做壁纸了，无比完美，还是个网络大电影。
差强人意吧。服化道和摄影都不错，剧情太弱了，看了开头就知道整个故事的标准武侠故事，人物角色也都很脸谱化，没法留下什么印象。
自黄河大侠30年以来第二个瞎子大侠，情节很单薄，没有黄河大侠丰满，主要就是干。
“瞎子，这趟浑水你趟不了。”
挺好的，故事和逻辑不必深究，讲的就是一个爽字，其实预算足更风格化点会更好。我们需要一个武侠版的酱威科。决战戏的雪夜破窗，绝美。
开头先是来了个精彩内容前置，生怕你们没耐心划走，这一看就是短视频导演，前面十分钟都是废话，从讨酒开始的主角行为举止太臭，后面明明是想相助，硬是装比说不带她一起走，到洛阳到发现有整容痕迹的琴女的演技是片中最佳，后面有个飞来飞去的打手像水浒传时迁兄弟，无意义的镜头太多，本来以为74分钟会很赶，没想到其实15分钟就能说完，浪费时间，果然不能指望这种片，7分是哪些傻逼打出来的？
剧本不太行… 但是摄影可 谢苗与角色适配度高 演技&打戏也出彩 毕竟武打童星出身 希望他能借此被更多投资方看到 之后资源能好些 多一星鼓励
谢苗好像一直都没变。有些仓促，但近年属于不错了。
故事俗套，动作戏不错，捉刀任侠。名字取得太拉了，你叫捉刀人都比这个强。
很不错，不啰嗦不煽情不卖惨……动作灯光镜头剪辑都很棒！
