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".
各位美女姐姐逃命/搏斗的时候换上平底鞋吧，好怕她们崴到脚😅
最后没有硬掰两个人在一起很好！还挺温暖的，女主无实物表演那笑死我了～
更怀念老一辈的007们，交棒时不用被无脑写死。
还不错 起承转合有点模板化 整体看下来挺舒服的
我的親娘啊，2021年了，007電影居然還能如此集所有陳詞濫調於一身：token minorities that dies too soon or doesn’t even have a name, female agents in impractical sexy outfits, heroine that needs to be saved, the imperial nostalgia, and the fucking CULTURE APPROPRIATION ???!!!! 凱瑞福永 How does it feel to see your own culture used as a prop???! 對本片抱有期待是我的錯，再也不了🙏
PS：安娜非常美、非常可爱。
政治正确真的有必要做到这个地步么，直接007变成黑人大码女性
虽说情节有些俗套，但结尾还不俗套。导演细节把控很棒，是部轻松愉快情节温馨的好片子。
7分吧。萨马拉一个人就能撑起这部剧，人美就是可以为所欲为啊。类似的剧还有《情人眼里出西施》《西蒙尼》。剧情就不说了，都是配角。另，亚裔拉美裔应该团结起来干翻非洲裔和白人。
邦德和反派的多次亲身体验证实，爆炸物就算直接在脚边引爆也只会引起耳鸣，而枪支近距离多次射击也永远不会致命，都是只要拍拍身上的灰就可以站起来活蹦乱跳的
shitty film for a shitty day
“当拥抱时 要抱得喘不过气”
很久没有遇到这样质量中上的轻松喜剧了～ 总是在不经意间逗人发笑，很喜欢女主在剧中的性格，一本正经的神经兮兮太可爱了
给女主加一分。两个人的救赎？通过爱情？找到自我？迎来光明？
故事需要落幕大家都理解，但是让传奇人物安静退休不好吗，为什么要写死呢！我不理解。另外，女邦德可以说是非常非常没有魅力了。
但这部真的结结实实地让我迷上了 演技好有灵气
编剧，把丹7的收官之作写成这样足以以死谢罪。
这个系列如果再出这种品质的作品，以后我可能真的无暇观看了。
最喜欢的一幕：新任007戴着一副炫酷的墨镜从容地开着改造过的豪车停在满身狼狈的邦德面前，问他：need a ride？从小学时看第一部到学生时代结束，赴邦德最后的约。执念让我熬走全场的人终于等到那句彩蛋，怅然于结局却也觉得再对不过，英雄主义如此，半生惊险却没有功成身退，浪漫多情却没有老婆孩子热炕头，只有孤寂且充满猜忌地呆在离幸福最近的时刻然后一遍一遍周而复始地走着钢索直至坠落，却也好过英雄迟暮，心有余而力不足地把酒话桑麻。
这个结尾太屎了，这是丹尼尔克雷格的告别，不是邦德的告别，完全将丹尼尔克雷格凌驾在了邦德之上，电影主创对系列颇不尊重啊！难怪油管上几个007铁粉播主都气得不行😓蕾雅赛杜这一部里就像是灰原哀，什么都知道却什么都不说，早点开诚布公不得了，真受不了这种闷嘴葫芦的美惨人设。
