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".
构思巧妙但悬疑度以及立意都不高！也算是标准的动作爆米花电影吧，还是勉强4星吧！
有些cliché，不過還是很喜歡，尤其是歌舞的穿插吧，和drag queen的感覺很搭。喜歡那個 come out 兩次，嗯，人在成長中不斷坦承接受自己。
上一秒在教堂门口接了对象回家，下一秒独自一人在家看u盘接到对象电话，再下一秒就是冲进去看见对象被按在地上挨打，然后自己就交出u盘再被注射新型毒品，然后再和电影开头和后面故事串联上，怎么就感觉这个剧情这么突兀呢？设定也是够突兀的，总感觉都是为了体现最后女主嘴里说出来的台词罢了。
前半部分非常有意思，男主每过12小时就会换一个身体，本体和被附者的镜头切换看着很舒适，热狗那段也是好评，但是男主知道真相以后就没有什么亮眼的部分了，而且后面那个帅叔叔发疯了还teamkill，就很突兀，可惜演员演技了
不错，值得看，中间有一段打斗可以，剧本演员都不错，但动作戏偏少，结尾动作戏反而不如中间刘白对打惊艳
既然可以灵魂附体在场的每一个人，那就差她媳妇了……最后他俩不会合为一体了吧？
中间两场大打戏真不错，概念挺有意思，但是人物挖掘的不够
这分太低了吧，动作戏不错，这么简单的片还有人说看不懂？
9-18 昨天影院上映，流媒体同步，今天早上就下载直接看了。2个小时的时间，还算是比较不错的改编，删减了一些歌，视觉上肯定是比舞台上能呈现得更多。就是这个jamie嘛，看了一会儿才反应过来不是官摄的原卡，少了一些机灵吧。里面一些细节看得蛮开心的，比如拿出第一双高跟鞋的时候，比如最后对dean说的那段话（之后是不同的人生之类之类的），再就是到最后竟然真的jamie当年都拍了录像，真的太有爱了。
拍得很棒了，动作戏标准以上！ 很多惊喜设计，这个武术指导很OK
支离破碎拼凑版伯恩，创意不错，但故事做的无聊老土。
附身刘代理单挑白上士那段比较精彩 结尾大战有些仓促敷衍 勉强三星
如果没有看过舞台版，就给满分了。这才是最好的学校教育吧，建议每个学生，都看上几轮。
挺紧张刺激的，就扯了点，反派也突然神经质造反，一直以为男主是河正宇
这电影已经不能算惊悚动作片了，应该划入玄幻系列，打一只毒品就能灵魂换身体，这也太神奇了。电影前半段的信息都是碎片化的，让人看得摸不到头脑，后半段线索都交代清楚了，看起来稍微顺一点。但是反派男一在最后发飙，把上司和买家全部干躺，这个人物设定有点莫名其妙，吸了个毒就豹变了？之前没吸过是么？
拍的什么玩意？jamie唱的也不行，演的也一般，女老师的work of are唱的也很弱，舞台表现也没有那么强。整个舞台能看出来想要弄艺术流，剪辑和特效还搞得不错的。
如果不是留下的几首歌还是好听我真的会给两星……这改的什么……或许从开头曲老师的戏份被删就揭开了帷幕，最爱的if i met myself again和ugly in this ugly world也被删，我觉得算是丰满人物的吧，实在不懂；work of art大概想搞点视觉系，可惜画面质感如同mv；算了可能新观众观感并不烂，我只是对原作滤镜太大？
虽然毒品导致灵魂出窍这个事情太扯淡了，但是这种12小时换一次人的故事也太牛了。剧情就挺强了还送动作戏，打得也像模像样，值得一赞。
前半部分非常有意思，男主每过12小时就会换一个身体，本体和被附者的镜头切换看着很舒适，热狗那段也是好评，但是男主知道真相以后就没有什么亮眼的部分了，而且后面那个帅叔叔发疯了还teamkill，就很突兀，可惜演员演技了
理查德格兰特（Richard E. Grant）drag queen造型抢眼。总体来说更乐观积极，歌曲也挺好听，男主很有才华。
