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".
最震撼的甚至不是电影本身，是电影结束后的那三行字幕。
Since you've started watching this film,as per statistics,8 women have raped in our country.
印度是个奇怪的民族，一方面很有信仰，一方面又践踏善良。
“自你开始观看这部电影，据统计，在印度已有8名妇女被强奸。”推动历史，需要每一位女性的觉醒和努力。
总理？特么的兔子县长也叫不来啊！今天瞧不起你，明天瞧不起他，你特么的就是个国际笑话！
最近印度也开始对女性的权利和地位开始重视起来了。
想说的事很大，电影拍得太套路了。许多场面难圆其说，不经推敲。
为什么设定是妹妹，不是女儿？在跟养父母对峙时，女主说，是我把她养大的？？？？？？？？？？？5岁？？？？？养大？？？？
枪杀警长，坐了二十年牢。出狱后逐渐重新走入社会，同时又寻找当时年幼的妹妹。桑德拉·布洛克饰演的女主角，表演有些用力过猛，也许对获奖抱有期待。导演的叙述很不流畅，不断地用闪回来破坏节奏。故事本身尚可，只是女主用二十年牢狱换取妹妹的幸福，何必出狱后又去打扰其生活？安静地从她生活中走开，也许更理性。
电影敢拍，现实还是一样残酷 ，感觉两个平行宇宙
虽然剧情有些bug，比如小孩的死、断网、以及总理愿意过来，但是立意真的很可以，不论男女老少，每个人的尊严都应该被法律保护
演员都挺好的！！！！！可这剧情？我这个法盲只想知道5岁孩童走火过失杀人，到底算谁的责任？怎么判？
懒得码字借用豆友点评吧～物证明晰，开枪人手上会有火药残留，妹妹脸上有明确的枪托后坐力撞击痕迹此外，枪扳机上有妹妹的指纹，射击的高度和角度，我这个外行人随口都能提出这么多疑点。而且，姐姐当时在打电话，她的位置也无法射击到楼下那个角度，有许多证人。
好故事，但却不是一部好电影。但是片子的诚意在这儿。
但该电影吊打《误杀2》
在我看来，在什么地方什么时间拍了什么内容，对那里产生了什么影响，哪怕只有一点点。也远比文本，节奏，技法重要许多。如果一个社会需要批判，就让它来的更猛烈些。可惜我们只能说那句，若批判不自由，则赞美无意义。
但是怎么就感觉印度人这么没骨气？感觉女主的印度味不够足，脸应该比较符合西方审美，不说印地语而说英语，总感觉在看欧美电影。
要不是靠最后反转的引用几年前的印度公交车强奸案的案例，这片就是烂片一部，也就国内瞎编乱造电视剧的编剧水平，加无法让人直视的表演。前面女主直接走到室外枪击打算攻入的特警时竟然没有狙击手狙她，按剧情在她“杀死”第一个儿童时，尽然没有用红外探测仪监控她离开儿童聚集房间时实施特警强攻（这绝对违背这类事件的处理原则）。中间挣开捆绑的两人竟然无法治服这名女性，特别是一人在和她缠斗时另一人消失了，再回来就是俩人又被重绑，真是拿观众当傻子呀！后面的总理的处理同样不可信，警察的全程处理很电视剧完全没有一点的专业办案常识。总之前面的胡编乱造就是为了让这女的能独身撑到最后好完成那一翻。不过，这一切真的很印度片，谁认真谁就输了。除了哈哈哈，不想再说别的。
1.《不可饶恕 The Unforgivable》改编自2009年的英剧《不可饶恕 Unforgiven》；2.继《美好的世界》《浊水漂流》后又看到一部以出监狱情节做为开头的电影；3.旧的怨恨难以消解，新的仇恨因此衍生，失去亲人的他选择夺取她亲人的性命来报仇雪恨……谅解两个字看似简单，但要做到却时常并非易事；4.为了制造悬念，反复闪回过往但并未直接揭露事件来龙去脉，直到后面方才透露隐藏的事实真相；……
从剧情安排看中规中矩，看似疯狂的举动后，总隐藏一个更深更悠长的原因。她的疯狂像一束光滑亮无数受侵女性悠黑的天空。她让她们看到希望，所有弱者的声音就只能这样被听见，这真是一种可悲，可叹。所有的体制都会有不足之处需要弥补，每种需求都值得被重视。
