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".
男主的选择太顺撇了，或者导演有意想表达的就是潜意识发现之旅，各方面都很中规中矩
忍不住打个虚高五星…节奏不慢，前面挺悬疑的，加上语言不通和略微脸盲我一度有点没反应过来发生了什么（。气氛也营造得很好，有些桥段看得人提心吊胆。不过最后揭出来的秘还是比较cliche的那种结果。但问题不大，因为…实在是太好嗑了…昏黄的华沙的夜，无人处突如其来的一吻，好喜欢…船戏拍得好美，油画一样，之前酒吧里的调笑和试探的触碰也好心动…小警察和男大学生，人设以及立场相对的身份让角色从初遇开始就很有张力，揭露坦白的警局审讯戏也因此非常精彩有戏剧性，太揪心了我都不敢看下去…小卷毛狗狗眼男二从第一眼起就很可爱，男主也非常可爱，尽管顶着个奇奇怪怪显老八字胡，但还是清秀又柔软，眼睛真漂亮…压力重重沉默内敛但勇敢善良的小宝，好喜欢。历史题材的影片对于现在的波兰（和其他一些地区）也有现实意义。为了自由与爱。
好喜欢，属于你能猜到下一步的情节但它又永远比你想的多一步，狗控流下了幸福又痛苦的泪水。。。。
故事很完整，能感觉到认真叙述故事！剧情老套偏纪实，警察爹演的很好！警察有点老，cp弱！警察与大学生爱上的莫名其妙，感觉就是利用或泄y吧！冲完整剧情打星吧！2021年的电影画面感觉很久！就是一个真二八经的剧情电影，不要磕cp！
挺惊讶的但也很压抑的片子，波兰人民是见不得自己的同胞幸福，好讽刺，纵使欺骗了所有人，但没有欺骗你自己，这个世界有时候真的很魔幻
传统三镜头法拍摄的一部传统罪案片。
7.7 人是不应该欺骗全世界的，至少你不该骗自己。
一个国家的警察体系疯狂地打击同性恋。后来发现作为警察的主角，逐渐温柔地沦陷于同性恋中。最终发现，对同性恋咬牙切齿的警察头子们，才是玩同性玩得最疯狂的人。国家大力侦破的刑事案件，真正的谜底揭开后，力促破案者也是作案者。这个电影想表达的东西太剽悍了。但在我看来表达力度一般。有点可惜了这个题目。
整体很闷很平，调查戏不刺激……同性爱也没什么亮点，甚至未婚妻部分也是草草带过，让人憋屈。除了罗伯特长在审美点上之外，台词设计都让人提不起兴趣。整部片还有点装深沉，实际上内容根本无特点。
哎呀，一旦知道有同性要素，关注点就都在主角们的情爱上了，明明是犯罪悬疑类型，重点是揭露对少数群体的压迫，我真是太不应该了。
看过了的牌就得玩下去 过去做过的事就得接受现在的结果-来自德克萨斯的山雀比利小子
多的一颗星就给出乎意料吧 （1985年至1987年期间 在风信子行动下 数以千计同性恋者 受到波兰公安部监控、扣押和盘问 波兰公安部设立了 一万一千个“粉红档案” 并利用有关档案 来勒索和压迫同性恋者 至今大部分档案仍未被寻获）
虽然是小场景，小制作，但也不能吝惜5颗星，
历史，悬疑，爱情。每个部分都说了又没有全说。节奏很奇怪，本来应该有趣的故事也完全让人提不起兴趣
可能是个人原因吧，不要太习惯此类阴冷欧式风格的文艺犯罪片，如果按照好莱坞流水线的叙事方式估计片长会缩至1小时30分。但本片整体拍摄水平很高。服化道和细节都充分体现冷战时代的东欧，铁幕之下的冰冷与压抑，暗潮却在细微之处涌动。剧本也是经过静心设计，逆向破案的反转紧紧扼住观众的喉咙。幕后黑手利用警方办案为他寻找知情人而便于一一除掉，让我联想其几年前的一部悬疑电影《愚行录》：调查真相的人恰恰是为了掩埋真相，令人细思极恐不寒而栗。卷毛金发的男二越看越像Kevin Banks
男主明明是个小奶狗长相偏要留八字胡装硬汉，就很可爱😉/////看完了。本来前半段的阴谋黑幕铺垫得挺好的以为是个步步为营揭露内部腐败的破案电影，结果后半段谈起了恋爱，不是恋爱不好看，实在是觉得浪费了一个好悬疑故事
刺破黑幕，后面是幽深的渊薮。贯穿两个板块很勉强，可惜。
男主身手还不错，不过应对力量型还是吃亏；在警局冲出去叫着Arek的名字，看到局长下了暗杀指令又冲出去救Arek，这还不是爱？我不会丢下你的。-我会去找你的。居然没有final kiss，好可惜。
“这里永远都不会改变”——希望不是一语成谶，更希望不会往反方向改变。
卧底和大学生，与其说是被吸引更进一步该是认清内心深处的自己，他发现爱上了对方却无法救他以至于赔上了自己的前途。男主的眼睛特别漂亮迷人
