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".
TV太拉以至于说比TV好看的话根本不像什么夸奖（。！邪特……我的邪特…！…摩多摩多…还有红眼泽塔 救… 所以泽塔你的剧场版呢？呢？呢？
前段时间忘记看了（
近些年来做的不错的特别篇（剧场版），什么都有了，唯一的缺点就是受制于本篇的制约，你能在一座废墟上盖多好的房子呢？
来了个新队长，以为很叼，没想到是反派，还变身邪恶特利迦，最后被干死。
不放弃，就不会被打倒💪
一开始TV版放出来时，直接碰瓷迪迦，这能碰吗？没这个能力知道吗。后来，直接看豆瓣评分，好家伙，5.2！直接变成“死马露”奥特曼！可以，作为90后老大叔的我不禁露出意料之中情理之外的冷笑，直接跳过TV不看了。（编剧久弥直树出来挨打！）后来，逛小破站，网友说是这部剧场版捞了一下，我全程面无表情看完。这么说吧:还是没能达到迪迦剧场版的高度，（毕竟珠玉在前，显得特利伽特别小丑）但作为特摄片，有跳出子供向的想法。（毕竟最后不是场外精英队边缘打call，奥特曼一人战斗，很燃，但达不到泪点）最后，还是最怀念那年变成光的时候。
难得看到一部根据十九世纪名著改编的作品，影片展现了那个时代巴黎光怪陆离的生活。令人震惊的是，那个年代的记者、文人，与今天的几乎没什么两样，只有衣着有些变化，其做法、想法、手法都与现今一模一样。影片整体说拍得有些四平八稳，但对年代的还原、服化道的制作，都很值得一看。
就很一般吧
还行，比TV好，不过依旧是打戏占比较大，但是故事本身并没有TV那么强烈的割裂感（久弥直树学着点），一路看下来觉得还行。
TV是拉垮的，评分最Low
谁都想当这个宇宙的光，可只有被选中的光之化身才有资格，如果不能将这份光用在保护身边所有人，那光就失去了意义！
{★★★★} 19世纪的新闻业与今时今日相比，到底有多大差异呢？它们都让我想起朋友对我说过的话：在资本主义下，人最宝贵的美德是诚实。所以不惜跟Pitchfork或Rolling Stone叫板，Robert Christgau都要做一个讨人嫌的、诚实的人。巴尔扎克讽刺金钱世界的名句太多，这里摘抄不下。但电影斥巨资搭建的这个虚拟的19世纪法国同巴尔扎克的文字一样折射出了阶级利欲的各方各面，而就像所有优秀的艺术，它首先是一部能娱乐你的电影--不啻说，残酷地娱乐。
7 在一个不知何为新闻自由的地方看这个故事难以感受到“幻灭”之意。警惕一切看似是真理的表象。
旁白从头到尾呱噪的不行，把观众当傻瓜。这是电影还是有声书？
十分尊重巴尔扎克的原著，以至于看起来更像是听小说。法国处理古典主义的视听也很棒，旁白最大限度的保留原著的精神态度，或者编剧根本就不想触碰这些。因为，法国人有解读心境的传统。
时间来到最终决战的两年后，在本应已迎来和平的地球上，怪兽们再度倾巢而出。
特利迦真就奥蓬01呗，tv用脚写剧场用心写剧场，想想确实挺像的一个斯麦路人一个u咩人。
虽然不是个好故事，但是跟TV比已经是矮子里挑高个了
这次想要说一说精英胜利队，TV里的这些人如同混子一般，虽然存在但起不到任何作用，但在Z篇，无论是开头击杀巴格斯还是对阵邪特或者是和剑悟之间的羁绊，精英胜利队终于有了一个防卫队的样子。我还是认为彰人和结名可以合为一个角色，这样的话能和剑悟之间有更深的羁绊描写，分开写则给人感觉羁绊都被弱化了。
剧场版泽塔和遥辉回归黑化表现精彩，黑特和光特，泽塔，打戏和文戏非常完美。
