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".
剧情甚至弱到了前半个小时都几乎没有信息量的地步了……
电影插曲采用了铁道游击队主题曲的改编，有点意思
用资本的话来说，矩阵重启是对《黑客帝国》经典三部曲剩余价值的再剥削，是对导演、IP游戏甚至影迷观众的PUA捆绑消费。
IMAX 2D。空有质感，剩下的像白开水。
范伟的演技真是出神入化！王调度人物塑造的惟妙惟肖！让人信服！日本鬼子狡猾狡猾滴。向铁道游击队的英雄们致敬！
日本军官的反派应该是具备了反派的要素，总体与《功夫》里斧头帮的大哥串戏。侠客式的电影，观影过程中总有一种中国西部片的感觉，缺少一个整体的爱国情绪。
电影没啥问题，但说道铁道游击队就有问题了，游击队，演的不够机动灵活，好像全都成老王了，感觉不是游击队，是间谍小队；搞偷袭，不是送人头，他抓我们一个人，我们就端他一个炮楼！这电影一直下雪，挺沉重，不适合搞游击的场面。
夜深人静皑皑白雪，大衣帽子侠客出行，刀枪对峙惩恶扬善；氛围营造的不错，但可惜营造错了，这是夜幕下的哈尔滨，不是铁道游击队。脱离实际的创作不仅体现在置景上，还体现在剧本上的空洞，千疮百孔漏洞百出，毫无逻辑英雄主义，更何况刻意制造神圣感和悲壮的情绪，让影片“人气”愈发稀薄
电影质感不错 人物扁平了点，周也角色比较酱油片尾和歌曲不错
综合：5.5
各种传统电影手法用得娴熟，娴熟到出现一个什么场景和细节立刻可以预知下一步会出现什么。剧情逻辑交代和衔接的很差，煽情特别尬，但是就所观察，还是有不少爱国观众看的直流眼泪。范伟走路姿势跟小品《卖拐》一模一样。
好好的题材，愣是拍得离抗日神剧只差一个范伟了
口音的错位和天气的渲染在导演的辩词中都还可以成立，但一味追求一种游侠式叙述，将铁道大队的生长、延展、蜕变都抹除成为一次次孤注一掷的袭杀，这当中包含着对历史的隐蔽的玩弄
五星 百分百 没商量 某些情节有些卡顿也略显简单粗暴 但不影响老粉全盘吸收消化 我几乎全程都在edge of the seat前倾看完 摄影风格比前三都要“写实” 我觉得是刻意为之 — if the priors are all fantasy, now it’s damn real than ever. — “The choice is delusional. You always know what you have to do.” “The power of free mind.” 片尾字幕 导演加了一行小字: for mom and dad, “Love is the genesis of everything.” Lana牛逼👍

根本没带入感
还可以啊 范伟扛起一部戏 yyds 范伟 讲你奶奶个腿 真解气啊
电影插曲采用了铁道游击队主题曲的改编，有点意思
范伟张涵予演技在线，奈何剧情空洞，给我看困了。范伟是为数不多的看点。
京片子挺让我出戏的……范伟全程演技在线绝对是亮点。另外，最近碳中和的事情看太多，导致火车头铲煤的时候分分钟出戏想要说这不能碳中和了……
