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".
皆为人为
BODY IS REALITY. LONG LIVE THE NEW ORGAN.
垃圾玩意，女演员说：打更（geng)的。字都说不准别拍出来丢人了
粗糙但是挺有趣，不要被名字迷糊。不能有鬼，但是不糊弄人。事实证明带着镣铐跳舞也能跳的好。
把一个个看似无关的狐仙传说串联成一个悲剧的真相。
差点被名字耽误了的良心剧，算给网大正名了。比妖怪更可怕的是变坏的人心
第一个网大用罗生门是有点意思，第二个第三个都用就给用成样板戏了
偏题严重哇，表面上故事很完整，但总觉得很奇怪，支离破碎的
用我的内里贴紧你 是亲吻的延伸；所有的自我切割仍是渴求关联 - 虽然我更想念从前执着毁灭的柯南伯格 但或许人类终究还是在等一束圣光：独属老年柯南伯格的天真
早前吊人胃口的尺度原是过家家级别，对人体改造/演化的讨论更像是份大纲，同理还有贫民窟般极简复古风的置景和各处细节留白，略显突兀的转折，充分折射了老导演思考的冷峻和压抑。三岛由纪夫曾在《太阳与铁》中提出借运动（打造一副健美的肉身）来保持思想和信念的纯粹，本片则是对其观点的反向推论：当身体知觉退化，器官机能的异变成为“衰朽”的同义词。剧场里奇观化的开刀表演，不过是为了掩盖人物安全感的匮乏，以及艺术创作空虚的本质。于是只能拥抱“非人”的宿命，才能重掌行为主权，在这个理性无声陷落的黑暗时空里，找到和大脑突触间那最后一丝感伤又脆弱的连接。
人比鬼神还可怕的一个故事，弱者有理的状态不只存在于现代，打土豪分田地也是个资源再分配的极端，他家那么有钱给我们花点怎么了，养我们三年现在不借了是要我们命吗，这种流氓言论真是可悲可叹，谢家管家真是个有情有义的汉子，对比之下一村恶人都该死，看似都是瞎子喝醉了根据身边的人编出来的一段神话，结尾的彩蛋让片子瞬间换了个节奏
Body is reality. Surgery is the new sex.
——
网大可以拍到这种程度真的很难得，不露肉，不瞎搞笑，剧情层层叠进，除了结尾复仇那一段太简单其他的很对得起网大了。希望以后的网大也能如此，向奈飞看齐，即使让我花钱我也认。现在目中无人出来，等看口碑
故弄玄虚，其实一切都打着“罗生门”的幌子，互相吹牛逼，到头来，全部都是吹牛逼。 PS.电影最后还有个彩蛋竟然，反正我觉得这电影看起来还可以，其实一塌糊涂，就是玩了个“罗生门”而已，很拙劣。
Surgery is the new sex?
痛觉丧失，器官增殖；身体艺术导向身体政治，由摘除展示到主体性构建；官僚体系化注册监管，将超常之物置换为亵渎之物；睡眠/消化辅助装置消费资本主义corporation与corpse同一词根，将人类自主进化的所有可能修正回尸体；自然的非自然遗传造物，终能消化纯人工造物……感觉看到八十年代的柯南伯格回魂，有点感动
的确是被名字耽误的好片，同一件事通过不同人的嘴里说出来，就成了罗生门。
四星算是鼓励吧，这部网大比之许多只为圈钱的院线电影强了不少，可以看出是用心的作品，
普普通通，特效做的还可以，但是不怎么好看，被恐怖片推荐安利过来的，结果一点也不恐怖……无语了，国产网大的进步空间还很大
