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".
对非粉友好度一般，剧情人物理解起来稍微复杂。血腥度十足，逼格很高，当做学习英语的资料不错。
整体还是很干脆利落的，动作设计很棒，但明显有头重脚轻的感觉，后期太草草结束了
出乎意料的优秀，可以说是惊艳每个角色都塑造的极其优秀，每个人的每个行为都有自己的理由支撑，每个人都混杂这善与恶，让人讨厌不起来。不论是面不改色讲的女巫与祭司故事其实发生在自己身上的tetra，还是主持变种实验的deglan。而维瑟米尔与青梅竹马的爱情更是刻画的无与伦比，离别时的蜂蜜蛋糕，最后的湖边依偎，还有储藏室阔别五十多年后重逢，俩人一字一句都是当年的感觉，似乎只是分别了一个下午。
3，“置之死地而后生”，真理诚不欺世人。
竟然是个悲剧，对这种神话故事没有什么抵抗力，制作精良故事也还行做到了行云流水
3:动画制作组忘了一个很严重的bug 那就是猎魔人在接受了青草试炼后就丧失了正常人的大多数情感 所以在《巫师》游戏本作中杰洛特做出选择时角色本身是没有感情起伏的 真正引发感情起伏的玩家或者说是屏幕前的观众 过多的感情线是剧本最大的败笔之一 最后维瑟米尔老爷子猛男落泪那段真让我蚌埠住了 事实上完全有更好的呈现方式
想起来游戏里 Vesmire的牺牲 也是为了 Kelrmar
梦魇蜘蛛藤条鹿首硬核妖邪杀戮，密林沼泽百鬼行逃杀儿童训练营，瞬移弹射术士猎魔人双打配合和幻术对决，冬天之湖美得太不真实；浪漫悲壮
理论上是小说的前传，但有很多细节其实对不上，所以就当成一个同人外传看好了。话说这部剧用了很多《风暴季节》的梗，比如基因改造啊、狐魔的诞生之类，对比着看还挺带感的。
实在是太好看了！维瑟米尔老爷子年轻时候的故事，这么浪漫的爱情！讲述了猎魔人之前的身世……
十分好看的独立猎魔人故事，喜爱小说和游戏的人一定会超级喜欢
反转多。可耻的“老蒋”夫妇，令自己那么没面子的“事变”，过后回去写“回忆录”，还美化自己。
十分好看的独立猎魔人故事，喜爱小说和游戏的人一定会超级喜欢
猎魔人无脑粉丝参上，哪怕是ppt我也会打五星
画面好美，维瑟米尔好帅（发型），最后的小杰洛特居然还只是个小光头（手动狗头）。动画版电影美看够希望Netflix可以出个保持这个制作水平的动画版剧集啊
相当喜欢，血腥可能不是非常有创意但打击感十足，每个道具都充分利用，小梗不密集但也零散分布，还有很多小转折，即使会料到也蛮搞笑，甚至结局也设计了一下，很不戳
明明想互相伤害的两个人因为共同的利益与坏人斗智斗勇，最后人生逆袭又和好如初，实在是太讽刺了。前半部分有点慢血浆都集中在后半部分。气氛有点搞笑，但并不是很爽。
动画电影讲了白狼Geralt师傅Vesemir的源起，除了扩展背景外并无太大惊喜。
看的过程还是蛮爽的，充满了各种恶趣味暴力血腥，不过还是会感觉到这是为反转而反转的商业套路电影，看似编得挺讨巧，其实bug挺多，反派过于卡通脸谱化。
夫妻的相杀竟然导致五个人血肉横飞，而最终又成全了两人的爱。各种反转看得目瞪狗呆
