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".
最后那段没看明白到底男人是想Kate 说出来还是不说，有些矛盾
整体很乏味，节奏有种猪头狗肚蛇尾的感觉，人物情感发展也缺乏逻辑。倒是片尾彩蛋有点好笑，直接把目标群扩展一倍的骗子优质技能hh
从头到尾的感觉就是很冷，而且比较赞叹人家，国外的这些露营的地方怎么这么漂亮这么美丽，而且没什么人，而且这个女主一个人背着包就上山了，感觉很安全，我一直提心吊胆，他们在营救过程中会碰到狼或者其他野兽，但是还好没有碰到。然后整个故事吧，也没配乐也没对白，就这么干干净净的一边欣赏自然美景，一边看着提心吊胆。讲了个什么也没听懂，反正也没字幕，然后最后的时候屏幕上打出来，男他救了女他我倒是觉得很意外啊。
最后警察线那里逻辑崩塌；不崩塌，少一些陈述式镜头，分数要高些
呜呼，还不错的反转反转，要是支线再深入点就好了
剧情太老土太格式化了 克罗地亚看得想出去玩
渣女本想钓凯子，谁知却被牛郎钓。
TA是个贱货！那是你们男人用来叫那些不和你上床的女人！
每个救赎别人的人有可能也是在救赎自己 这姐姐这两年演的这角色都够惨的 但是剧情简单却能表现很好的演技
剧本欠打磨啊，来回怀疑一圈人。司机角色驱动力和出现都莫名其妙。然后就是全世界的恶都是前夫渣男干得^^
把mark的这部《户外杂志》推荐的电影看完了，这部形是户外登山救援的题材，神却是人们内心救赎的内涵。一个因意外失去两个女儿的母亲通过登山救援来救赎自己，风光片，心理片，缺少情节起伏。因为关注户外，所以更关注户外环节，还是有几点很不解的，11月的北美，男主着逛街服在暴风雪的山顶没失温，晚上掉到河里冲了很远还没失温，不太合理。影片以时间序列呈现，从7点开始山脚下攀登，登顶雪山层，中间经历各种自救，救他，然后晚上十点返回到山脚停车场，不知道爬升高度和距离多少，感觉能到雪山层，高度少不了，不太合理。
抖音上吹的天花乱坠，看完感觉剧情太假，经不起推敲。很一般，还没有心迷宫好看。
这个女主没死只能说福大命大，傻人有傻福吧。
明明是恐怖片，越看到后面越搞笑是怎么回事？
我觉得挺多个点都有构思的，可这个剧本，真的是，俗烂。女主最后抱着孩子笑着走出草地我也是觉得ummmmm，而且女主演技差。
这是一部全程无推理的剧情,也是这部剧高级的地方,它的悬疑推理在于人物心理的刻画,既单纯又恐怖
剧情本身悬疑设置的还是不错的，但整个剪辑总是觉得hflow的制作那种，演员也是一言难尽，很难相信是财大气粗的netflix家的，特别是自带的预告片，简直比电视电影的规格还要low。唯一的亮点是Split的美景了吧。。另外，Leighton现在真的是沦落到这种片子了。。。
前面不错，后面拉垮，结尾裸体出境提了个神，要不快睡着了
本来就是小众文艺片 观众寥寥 第一次通过观察别的观影者感受到了什么叫如坐针毡 我自己也差不多吧 不时有人离场 完全理解啊 整个片子风暴救援实在是无聊至极 哪怕是冲着对户外的热情看本片也感觉实在是想按快进。可惜影院里没发快进。不可否认 当快结束前 回放女主抱着煤气中毒的两个女儿时 泪崩。然后片尾放出原型的时候 很感动很难受。本片的意义是好的 只是 这个故事 拍成电影 真的很无聊。。。爬山探险这种东西都是主动体验 看别人体验真的效果差很多。就可看性本片只有一星。主题五星。平均下来三星。🤣
老姐姐救人救得心都累了，自己活得都费劲，还要去救别人。不管咋样这辈子来都来了，看看还有什么幺蛾子再说。
