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".
追至最后 感动依然，时代浪潮乱世中 蝼蚁般的众生又有几人可以 从心所欲 心无旁鹭 剑心 沈炼 李天然之辈皆是如此
其实这么多部电影相同的动作设计打打杀杀已经看得腻了，但追忆篇的故事仍然是最吸引我的，这大概就是走心和走肾始终不同
清里反复去世，也不知道给没给小洼付工资。
想领略拔刀斋的真正风采，只能从追忆篇入手。作为OVA的天花板，《追忆篇》的真人版翻拍很难做到大众满意。配乐，镜头运用很棒，秉承了OVA的高品质。但是和神级原作比起来部分设定还是感觉铺垫不够。尤其是雪代巴的处理，虽然巴的日记给了解释，但情感转变还是感觉有些生硬。一个生性善良的人，为了信仰，却不得不做着与自己天性完全违背的事情，内心的痛苦是时时刻刻的，所以在这一篇中，剑心唯有在那一段远离江湖的田园生活里才能露出笑容。反派死于话多。桂没动漫里儒雅，有点流氓气息。绯村有着超英的恢复速度，巴还像睡着一样，自己一身伤却都好全了。最后画面地上插把刀，用一句俗语，哥已不在江湖，可江湖满是哥的传说。结束的时候还是有些不舍的，去重温一遍OVA。
两天看完了五部系列电影。佐藤健幸运，绯村剑心也是幸运，遇上彼此和比较靠谱的团队。这部，我喜欢，充满血腥又纠缠不休的狠与爱。但是，巴的脸过分了，太大了，比剑心大很多哎。高马尾冷酷杀手少年，为了新时代甘愿当刽子手潜伏黑暗里，与血腥为伴，靠近了他爱上他是必然，剑心爱上巴也是必然，故事最后也必然是个悲剧。新时代来临，我不会再杀人，只有剑留在了战场上，再无刽子手只有浪客剑心。ＯＫ。完美衔接第一部。
限于分级原因，这一部本该血腥很多，但是最后都靠CGI了。
9。不是原作粉也没看过OVA，不影响情绪达到本届影节高潮，上一次是黑白版《金刚狼》。
后面的文戏太拖沓，把前面精彩的武戏（尤其开场那段）都忘了。
多年铁杆老粉丝觉得还蛮不错。且暂时没有其他真人版可以比较。先给五星。
跟动画版很像，不得不说动画版分镜真的很漂亮，还原动画感觉的这个真人版观感也就不错。
8.5最后用追忆篇收官是个完美的选择，剑心也是我上影节补全的唯一一个系列。虽然整个系列以酣畅淋漓的打斗著称，也不乏志志雄的经典反派塑造，但追忆篇以最少的打斗，武力最弱的反派稳稳屹立在整个系列的巅峰。为“剑心”的“心”的部分进行了最重要的补完。追忆篇动画是日本OVA无可争议的巅峰之作，十字伤疤下深深埋藏的悲伤往事，用丰富人物刻画与情感流露将一个交替世代幕末游魂刻下回忆中最沉重的一笔，谱写了一曲附于个体的时代悲歌，为剑心这个名字勾上了圆满的人物烙印。村花基本成功担起了雪代巴的角色，相比之下正篇中武井咲的神谷薰刻画不足偏工具人，使得人诛篇后二人离去的背影让人觉得份量不够。
武戏有些强加了啊，虽然很帅
完美的最终章！挥刀杀人背负罪孽的拔刀斋，终于用手中的刀杀出了新时代。虽然千人斩尽，却始终保有最纯粹的灵魂，才能在旧时代对雪代巴许下不杀的誓言，在新时代对神谷薰发出共赏春夏秋冬的呼唤。虽然有很多老镜头，但却丝毫不影响投入。把追忆篇作为大结局真的是个明智的决定。最后在飞天的悲壮旋律中，刽子手拔刀斋和绯村剑心不分彼此，结局和开始融为一体。一个时代结束的同时，必会有一个新的时代降临。感谢和月伸宏，感谢大友启史，感谢佐藤健，献上了这一系列最好的漫改真人电影。
论怎么把一个精彩的文本拍的昏昏欲睡的典型案例，除了剑心本心还那样，其他简直车祸现场，村花还是去演学生妹吧…
漫画原文主体是对战闯关，和《幽游白书》的模式没什么不同。区别在于历史架空的大背景，末代剑客的人生转轨，由杀人剑去到活人剑。追忆篇正是整个系列最集中体现历史压力的。表面上写男人和女人的关系，绯村后来是以妻子称呼巴。因为体会了普通人的生活，体会了失去宝贵之物的痛苦，拔刀斋对于“新时代”的追求更加丰盈自觉，而不是概念化、机械化，是“真志士”而非“杀人机器”。苦恋之下处理的是男人和男人的关系，尊王也罢攘夷也罢，京都江户长洲会津萨摩新选组总都是为了时代的方向。个人成败不是不带来痛苦，但“忧国”终于是最强音。隔壁妹子在感情戏段落哭得撕心，倒像帮我抒发掉了。草庐之火是化炼狂焰，把绯村和雪代这两个俊逸的名字纠缠在一起。忘记了，明治前十年里剑心在做什么。打逆刃刀，或者在国土各地旅行。弃剑归去，漂亮得不行。
真人化的确难做，又不能完全复刻，又不能太多加工。
总的来说,当作一部独立的作品是优秀的,作为真人版勉强合格.
分了好几个周末看完了 漫改电影的画面节奏真的很慢呀 村花有很像巴！再次感叹本片打戏的流畅度...
2 个没想到，日本电影的武戏这么精彩！不是好莱坞英雄成长路数的编剧也能这么燃！可惜女主没选好……当然表演是有的，就是脸……
乱世动荡、血雨腥风、一声承诺、一生承诺。雪之下，情之殇。
