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".
地球人都在加班，地球能不能加个班努个力毁灭地球人啊！能不能，能不能！
有点讽刺 火灾 水灾 病毒 美国分裂 白人黑人 保守激进 打疫苗不打疫苗 科学和反科学 跌宕起伏的一年 讽刺的很棒啊 特朗普就像伏地魔带着食死徒 背景音乐 都很好笑哈哈
笑吐了，结合don't look up 一起看真的让我窒息
我真觉得，全球化反人类行动，已经让最好的编剧都无法复述的更没人性一些了。
当冲突能带来利益，既得利者们开始引导甚至制造冲突。
哈哈哈哈期待台湾出一集汉化版，主咖人选在博恩与视网膜之间。
去年的第一集还是很好玩的，毕竟新鲜。今年的梗用同样的套路玩一遍就好无聊。。。拜托明年别玩了。
果然是女性导演的作品，才能展现出这么舒服的效果。男主选得太好了，就是狗狗本身。
2021持续糟心，题材上很安全地迎合了主流的政治正确，便没有反讽的内核了。话说回来，每一年的烦心事都这么多，因为这些事就给自己偷懒找借口，可就白活一年了。2022加油！
“runaway！”
We end the year as we began it.
刚出《Death to 2020》时就想看了，结果一直拖到现在直接看2021版了。本身个人就很喜欢伪纪录片的形式，一本正经的搞笑，这个真的是全片讽刺搞笑至极，不禁让人怀疑为何同时生活在一地球上的同一物种，会有如此大的差别。2021年人类的愚蠢和极端又达到了新高度，疫情、环境、社交媒体、政治…不仅让人怀疑，这个世界会好吗？全场最佳是普通英国市民Gemma，每次她一开口我就想笑，这种一脸单纯切迷糊的吐槽太逗了。找机会把《Death to 2020》也补来看
1. 美国从Taliban撤兵，上一个抽身这么快的是克林顿。
#跟着网飞看电影系列 除了某国新闻未提及，全世界所有国家过去一年大事件吐槽了一个遍。（真是非常糟糕的2021啊。
哇真的难说算不算电影 是不是打从有电视之后就几乎没有这样的长片了 或者本来就该是贴片短片集？ 电影往后会变成什么样儿啊hhh 冲着休叔看的，他怎么老成这样了！明明前两年看剧他还挺有型的！
what did I learn in 2021? I learned that nobody learned anything in 2020.更像正经纪录片了，可能真的是太离谱笑不出来了
把職場性別壓迫放在sm關係中倒置解放，想法還是蠻有趣的
演绎和纪录片相结合的一部片子，老美自己说的自己的糗事儿，尤其看到不戴口罩的人去摘戴口罩的人的口罩(wow，真绕嘴)，真奇葩啊！反正看热闹不嫌事儿大！
因為有了去年的經驗笑點更密集更諷刺了hhh karen，老白男，無知群眾，還有狂黑elon musk什麼的。笑完那種無奈感比去年更深了 我們2021的教訓就是人類沒有從2020學到一點東西。
2021年已经死去，就和去年死掉的2020一样。想念梁欢。
