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".
我喜欢。
6分。悬疑味还行，但几次反转有些牵强。男主直到最后一刻还在满嘴谎言真是够了。看到梅斯特昔日女神现在一副大妈脸和身材不禁唏嘘呀！
可能拯救别人也是她在自我救赎吧。大自然越壮美，渺小却丰富的人就越易触动我。（看完想hiking了）
无聊的剧情，反转的丝毫不带感，节奏也是奇奇怪怪，角色塑造莫名其妙，反派们也是毫无存在感，失败。
可惜不论是富豪的生活还是南法的生活对我们来说都有点遥远。
三个帅哥加持，还是值得浪费生命中的1小时。
故事一般般，很安静的讲述一个故事，但风景真的很美，又想骗我去爬山了，疫情啥时候是个头哦，登山杖手柄都长毛了~~~
和Blake Lively几年前那部A Simple Favor放一起看很有趣，都是悬疑，都是闺蜜失踪……相比较之下，S那部就还是雌竞塑料姐妹叙事，这部则选择了显然更woke更女权的叙事，男人都恶心，唯一的好男是叙利亚难民……看完一查果然是女导演呢…
这种风暴片建议用大屏幕播放，比如投影仪之类的，如果影院放映当然最好！用大size更能体会人面对群山 身处风暴的感觉。 声音方面也尽量用稍好一点的音响或耳机，真是有种身临其境的感觉！
前面的场景真不错 后面变成说教 New Hampshire 风景真不错 还要再去
我的queen B ，love u always
女主只身在国外遇到离奇失踪杀人事件，周围除了一个叙利亚人全是混蛋和变态，她第一反应居然是破案，这个人物立不住，但是总体看还是不错的。
女神老了 刚开始以为费了洪荒之力救了个神经病 后面才讲原来都是有故事的人 总之 叙事有点儿失败 把所有记忆线索都剪掉 结尾改成把人成功救下山会更干脆利落一些 冲突点完全可以设置在路上 而不是让人牙疼的情感线上
最后那段没看明白到底男人是想Kate 说出来还是不说，有些矛盾
感觉剧本只有大纲 没有任何细节设计 后面追逐对决的部分像小鬼当家
大奥米最近怎么都是一个人演电影，是演技太好了吗，这种类型电影都找她，我已经看了她这样的电影两部了，也没厌。
三個孩子插科打諢也很搞笑，就是結尾有些過於生硬，情緒轉換有點突然。其實三個孩子開頭那樣富豪也要負很大的責任，他沒有在孩子的成長中給予足夠的陪伴和引導，導致三個孩子一個比一個不靠譜，幸好設了這麽一個局，強行把孩子們拉回來了。坦白後孩子和富豪都能認識到自己的問題，找到各自人生前進的方嚮還是很美好的。只希望作為父母可以多給子女一些關心和陪伴，而作為子女的也能多多理解父母的含辛茹苦。
全篇漏洞百出，无聊至极的反转，Netflix所有自制剧基本上可以避雷了。
对山永远都充满敬畏，尤其是自己也曾因为滑雪差点迷失在风暴里，Naomi素颜出演，更是真实的感受到她那种绝望…
只会幻想而不行动的人，永远也体会不到收获果实时的喜悦。
