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".
还是要为摄影最美的人文漫威作品四星肯定！
一部电影里的每一个演员在那部电影的宇宙中都不存在。同理，MCU里也不存在漫威，但……存在DC呀！哈哈哈哈。就这个点足以脑补几百个梗出来。这部电影的核其实挺炸的，可以炸破MCU目前建立的所有平衡。但是好像没人在乎。毕竟超英电影的红利期马上就要结束了。不是吗。
漫威一天到晚拍这些拯救地球的弱智超英片，自己不会觉得可笑吗
有奶就是娘，能用这么烂的剧本忽悠大伙一起演得这么认真的网络大电影，也只有奶飞能办到。
【2.0】主题本身以及主题提炼的方式优劣与否，或是赵婷的电影美学在超英片上的可行性，这些其实都可以先抛开不议，真正必须要首先指出的问题是，这部电影那可怕的分猪肉式的镜头编排逻辑，这是最低级的群像戏思路。
love & peace, these people are not worth saving,
叠buff神作，漫威的傲慢与偏见达到无与伦比的地步。这电影就是纯粹的把一堆巧克力味的狗屎猪屎猫屎人屎牛屎鸡屎鸭屎揉在一起喂给你吃，你以为是巧克力，实际上却是屎。举个例子，活了成千上万年了，不晓得内讧的后果，不晓得团结的重要性，不晓得背叛的危害。都已经是神一样的级别了，还被感情束缚。脑子真的有病就治好吗？最几把奇葩的是那个黑人主角，直接把buff叠出花了，千层饼都没有那么多层，说起来我好久没有吃千层饼了，现在都饿了，不晓得哪里有卖的。
灭霸杀死宇宙一半的人是为了推迟全宇宙的神现，拯救宇宙。
永生的且拥有超能力的eternals也是造物，甚至渴望放弃长生不老以体验人的成长。这更彻底地解构了英雄和神，完善了人神关系（但归根结底还是在思考人类本身）。动作戏很有味道，非常喜欢暗红色eternal的极速移动，是我最想要的superpower！但这部电影显然无法承担它宏大的哲学计划的落地。有一点是，我觉得所有eternals尽管多元化后，还清一色地说英文本身就不能对接普世主义。如此artifice在如今的电影机制里能够被辨识出但无法剔除。（造物主非常像如来佛，不知道原作是否就这样。
miyavi！我特么少年时候的偶像！有人记得这个人吗！
漫威这算翻车了？叙事散乱、节奏差，不刺激、不感人也不幽默。回忆穿插的位置不合适，内容不连贯、情绪不统一，发展突兀，张弛的处理不合适、令人困惑又不适，小内容大肆渲染，关键的地方轻描淡写，台词酸涩，却依赖台词来解释所有重要的事情。人物众多，立得很浅，前领导背负并隐瞒队友百万年的真相，新领导学到后转头就与团队分享，还立马就策划反叛，这强行推剧情。“神”爱世人，视角居高临下，天神族的手有五指山那味儿了。2.5
「When you love something, you protect it. It is the most natural thing in the world.」
因为是抱着看看有多烂的心态去的，所以反而找到不少不错的地方，包括画面音乐氛围、情感传递、对于人类发展主题的处理没有像预想中令人出戏，
食人鱼从不怀疑它们攻击的正当性。
主要占了个女杀手的ap，缺点是剧情比较简单老套，实属没意思，在Netflix上只能开个1.5倍速看，都觉得慢，完全就是看个激情动作。优点是这里面的几场动作戏设计的好。
导演再加上这么个破神，二鬼子拍二鬼子了属于是👏怪不得会力排众议保留这么个反智情节
这是一出政治大戏。如来的手掌是体制，他制造了永恒族，也给永恒族制造了敌人。在手掌心，你拥抱体制或者反对体制，都只能是体制的一部分（就像豆瓣广播日常呈现的冲突）。只有当你喊一声I quit，才能打破中国史的循环，成为体制真正的敌人（这么来看，赵婷就是永恒族啊）。当电影穿越时间，文明是什么，人是什么？角色在广岛忏悔时在忏悔什么？当我们拥抱多元，终极结局是不是无元，当我们不断确认自己的性别，终极结局是不是没有性别。故我猜测这一幕幕画面是对人类很虚无的爱吧，它不断要确认爱的存在，于是最终呈现的是无爱，它碰上好莱坞教条的电影生产线，内含的叙事和思想也被撕破了。
三星半。不曾比肩神明，也无法归于人海；冠以永恒之名，却深谙轮回之苦。见证了蛮荒的杀戮，于是渴求生存的意义，经历过干涸的岁月，所以贪图点滴的爱意。踏遍弱水去敲响悲鸣的丧钟，相去天渊也不绝爱情的回响，难以揣摩天地便只能向尘世的幸福低头，无法面对阴影便唯有朝太阳的灰烬走去。
食人鲸的心脏也许重达百斤，
打戏设计还不错没有犯一打到就切镜头的好莱坞常见错误
