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".
说实话，这故事远没有达到剧本杀的中游水准……
比较失望，悬疑和喜剧两头都没有完全做实，能够看出万合天宜的这群创作者都在努力走出网剧的思维，但基本上还是难以摆脱抛段子的习惯。相对来说这个剧本还算有想法，但是导演的执行力比较拖后腿，主角的存在感也不是很高。尽管有对于行业的讽刺和反思，甚至最后那个“记忆是可怕的”这个点抛出来也能看出创作者的勇气，但最终的附着力仍然比较浅，着实可惜了些。
万合网感一直都特别好，所以虽然大量文戏，但笑点密又节奏好，打我马那里真爆笑如雷，离谱的对白但就是荒诞好笑！主要角色的火花碰撞都很可爱！选角合适演得又好，听他们扯淡能听一天的水平。梦蝶视角刻画女性互相理解支持真的特别好，邓家佳虽然现在脸有点点假，但没影响表演还是很生动的，有两场戏，眼神还是很打人。
情感真挚，叙事平缓，中间插了一些档案化的胶卷镜头很是好评。在静静流淌的塞纳河畔，希望我们都能找到心灵的皈依。
太喜欢巴黎了，温柔的旧人，破碎的新生，是漫长岁月的落幕美学，我爱过，即永恒。
胶片影像的质感+法国电影的叙事，让温暖与温柔共存
向往自由的灵魂 有烟吗？想抽一根了 就是，尽管我已经是两个孩子的母亲，尽管我已接近五十，但我还是拥有自我，有重来一次的机会和勇气！仍然热爱生活！仍然充满希望！
三老案和法国医生碎尸案，两个八竿子打不着的案子竟然是一个案子，也是一个亮点。
内核就非常有问题，女孩被qj是受害者，为什么就名声尽毁没脸见人了呢，之后的剧情都建立在这个前提上，说实话作为法学生和女性，我并感受不到共情和养父牺牲自己的伟大。剧本构造同利刃出鞘，但是内功明显不足。
前半部分的人物出场和铺垫舞台话剧感较重，中间反转之后可看性强了很多，另一条故事线浮现之后则主题大大的加分，甚至有点动人。最难能可贵的还是针砭时弊的小细节，能看出主创团队的野心，多加一星。
直面了生活中那些沉重的不堪的难过的经历 都好像是被反复揉碎 好像在电影里又没有那么痛苦和绝望 只感受到了温柔 就像在黑暗中被一束光照亮
因为上映后一水的好评，所以我是抱着相当高的期待走进电影院的，但是它真的让我非常失望。在我看来，这部影片更像是剧本杀综艺的升级版，质感甚至比不上网大。大量室内戏的设置也许是出于节约成本的考虑，但这也大大暴露了导演的水平不足。起码在前一小时，我看不到任何有想法的场面调度，演员的表演也乏善可陈。电影的核心案件和市面上成熟的剧本杀作品别无二致，缺少新鲜感。舞台感极重的服化道还有布景也让我无法入戏，仿佛在看剧本杀综艺。
那些脆弱的阴影”
请傻逼粉丝们别来骚扰我了，毫无廉耻可言。//半年了还有粉丝骂完就拉黑我？要不要这么怂啊拉完屎光着屁股就跑，真的会看不起这些无能狂怒的可怜虫。
他们去看候麦的电影了 我也想去 我也想去 就是很迷人的氛围 浪漫又忧伤。还有 音乐真的很戳我内心。 骑车在夜晚 我以为是台湾电影
竟然能【在商业片语境下】有意识在讨论“摄影机是什么”，【重申是商业通俗电影语境下】。很多微小的惊喜之处，尤其那句“最可怕的东西是记忆”。提及新闻业的功能，电影的社会意义，对性犯罪的借古喻今，都很勇敢。笑点很多千禧年之后的流行文化梗，挺戳我（
与去年的《杨之后》一样有着极为复古的风格，前者具有实验性，此部剧情更为平实。夜行孤影，聚散有时。
就像被留在房间里的旧镜子上的
可能还没到五星那么好，可是抵不住我喜欢。各种隐喻挠得恰到好处，看得开开心心，却又有那么一点点惊心动魄的悬疑。我，可能是陈明昊在这个世界上唯一的颜粉……
oh Talulah的脸蛋。好的电影就是【文化输出】，好的电影就是【观众也会陪角色爱上另一个角色】，好的电影就是【忘掉时间不知不觉到了尾声却感觉没怎么眨过眼】。在巴黎是不是真的很容易找到爱做？总之八十年代的巴黎好像一颗黄金大块。相比十六岁时，中老年的甘斯布虽然不是我的菜但天生丽质的确不怕时光考验。还是要再说一嘴Talulah的脸精美的像是仿生羊电子人。
