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".
主任对路口开车的司机说，你有没有考过驾照？哈哈。想起阳光普照了，我就是驾校教练啊。
整体很差。好在一些段落。有蛇及最后的部分。魏如萱极差。
【又蠢又无聊】华纳如果想靠这个IP养老，不如开发一套哥谭滤镜（黑暗下雨）付费授权使用。一个现代城市能有什么大谜团，无非是黄赌毒。（上映第一天IMAX厅里都是真影迷，没人说话，但这么一个沉重的“探案”（不带引号都侮辱智商）剧，引得观众频频发笑。镜头调度也不行啊，蝙蝠车好像还不如企鹅人的车（这么强的车都翻了安全气囊也没弹出来？）公路追逐乱切那个车尾灯一侧的镜头是粘了个手机拍的吗？源自佐罗的斗篷除了耍帅真是一点用都没有，飞起来像个鼯鼠丑死了。我帅帅的囧林叔完全被化妆遮住了💔猫女既然是黑白混血les为啥不多一重设置穆斯林？治谜语人的方式难道不是装傻吗，五方的脸和演技真的绷不住，我永远爱本蝙！这么长适合拆成3集一小时的剧，哦不对那不如电影挣钱。谴责影响观众身体健康的超长久坐！本来不困硬是看得哈欠连连
和《七宗罪》比较
三星半，我个人还蛮喜欢的。很有共鸣，摄影很有凝视的感觉。
“每个人都有不堪的过去，只是大小不同而已。”“我答应你，我会慢慢的好起来” 。疫情时代的一部温情又真实的影片，每个普通的家庭都有不容易的一面，希望大家都有勇气和力量度过难关。
但是，哪怕人物的完整让我收回其他指控，瀑布意象的引入真是有够矫情的。
以疫情为舞台背景，钟孟宏把关注点收缩放进一对紧张的母女关系中。前半段的悬疑氛围堆砌的很好，后半段导演则因为回到了其擅长的家庭温情路线中而更显游刃有余。贾静雯苍老臃肿的扮相让人心疼。
赛琳娜竟然不是拉拉？没有爱情可以不加爱情线
作为身边有同样受精神症状困扰的人，看这样的片子显然无法和普通观众一样保持中立 影片本身节奏略有碎片感，但整体还是保持钟导的影调，只是不知为何今年钟导不太用中岛长雄身份进行拍摄了？
我要告别湾湾电影 - 贾静雯女神微表情很细腻 一个恍惚无助的病人 结局也松了口气 - 但是还是觉得电影做作..
20220422le。钟孟宏导演，这次终于不那么冷了，要给当下的人们一点温暖嘛。生活大概就是这样吧，悲悲喜喜，虽然总是可能有意外，但唯愿上天保佑。3.5
三星半，疫情只是导火索，而中产生活宛如幻象如此脆弱，顷刻崩塌。喜欢蛇那段，乍以为病中的胡话，却是惊悚事实。不过贾静雯的表演没有那么惊艳。
贾静雯是演得好，但导演前半段猛拆楼人生处处下坡路，后半段猛盖楼一切都在好转。这么拍意义有限，触底不反弹才真吧…又想起万箭穿心
渐入佳境。开篇疫情描写太糟糕，脱离生活，满脸写着假。紧接着母女关系桥段，非要在小段落里采用类型片手法+剧情反转的恶趣味一直延续到片尾。生病段给足两位女演员演技施展空间，贾静雯凭这部拿金马女主完全合理（感叹男演员真容易，【辑魂】张震演得什么玩意）。中后段回落到母女亲情题材，仍然是固有矛盾+突然冲突+理解彼此+相扶相依的家庭题材老套路，是【阳光普照】的老命题，但说得浅显一些，更有表演空间，所以也不得不加一些黑色幽默来波动节奏。搬家后的对谈终于点题，却也是后段最难看的一幕，特别是接在女儿模仿之后。女儿模仿和抓蛇是全片高光，轻松诙谐之余，那份亲人间的默契一览无余，情节设计灵光乍现。结尾的泄洪就是整部电影的缩影，非要做设计和形式，倒也点题，终了回归于平常，是生活里的大小无奈变故，也泯然于生活。
好电影，很有诚意，与那部《小丑》一样。
不差，但也不如预期好，学了黑色电影的皮毛，没学黑色电影的神韵。都说是侦探片，但探案过程描绘的相当庸俗老套，基本就是猜灯谜一条龙，谜题写的还不如阿卡姆游戏里的好，缺乏充足的解谜推理之感，也没有精密的诡计设置，完全表达不出蝙蝠侠“世界上最伟大的侦探”范儿。最无语的戏是法尔科内告诉少爷他爸是坏人，他失落了，转头阿福又告诉他爸是好人，他又振奋了——幼儿园剧作？叙事节奏有问题，许多戏没必要让多镜头停顿两三秒，如此这般也就没必要拍三个小时。总之有一些失望，不如猩球崛起2，略强于猩球崛起3。内地版存在明显的删减。
始终对钟孟宏的影像观感一般，常年给人一种无病呻吟的感觉，硬在生活中找点苦闷和乐子，所以大部分呈现的是失真下的生活状态，前半段宛如惊悚片，母女之间臆想里的互相对立，现实里的扶持陪伴，后半段几度以为这个单亲家庭会分崩离析，之后却意外阳光普照般回魂，大水冲刷过的灵魂，和蒸腾沸涌后的生活，都给人一种重生的慰藉感，留了一丝希望和机会来互相救赎，一如疫情过后的全面复苏终归会到来，存个念想。★★☆
当漫威以为用平行宇宙这样新奇的概念就能随便地串联起三代蜘蛛无数反派，再用十分钟快速研发的科技产物亲手抹消令人追怀的一切和罪恶本身；DC却选用了足够老派的侦探片模式，抽丝剥茧缓步推进，让谜语人穿针引线带出企鹅和猫女，又以父辈之罪作为暗线打通哥谭的过去和未来，让一度砸在扎导手里的蝙蝠侠焕然新生。
我好喜欢.....为什么才7.6😥😥 另，小静是照着文琪选的人吧，长得真像。啊啊啊啊紧张死我了
