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".
当一个群体已经成长到无法忽视的地步时，我们没办法忽视他们，争取更多的权利，把事情往好的方向引导，也许是我们最应该做的。在这里也有girls help girls
我从未见过如此杰克苏的女人。 我一度就想成为这种翘着二郎腿男女都调戏一下的女的，后来知道学名叫流氓。 人物确实扁平又工具，但伪女权的说法太过苛责，已经是无限强励志了，大佬的妹妹也不是谁都能当，起码先被剖个腹再有不怵的胆气。 最奇特的部分，也是缝合怪印度片的通病，就是他纯爱部分竟然拍的很牛逼，车里那段太牛逼了，别说女性主题了，就这段玛丽苏的调情戏姆们都拍不出来。 最后挺解气的就是，终于有为了大义牺牲男友的桥段了，不错，杨玉环直呼过瘾。
作为电影 并没有很好看 作为传记 它的意义值得推荐
老公说这部片女权的表面下也还是透着男权？甘古拜每次成功转折都有男性角色的扶持（再加上女性眼泪的加持）例如黑社会老大、记者、总理？呃…就不能换个女记者吗？！
开始我看什么公众号推荐以为是传记类电影，结果是小说改编。整个就变成了一个印度爽剧，莫名其妙的成功和莫名其妙的女权，女主凭什么从这么多人里面脱颖而出呢，就靠脸吗？？
游离于虚幻与现实之间。但真心没感觉出来多出色，尤其故事建立在在这样一个女权主义、社会阶层的宏大主题下。深入挖掘的东西太少，大多只是停留在情节上面，甚至情感表达也肤浅。
最被打動的一幕，女主坐在車裡，拿著小男朋友的手摸自己的頭，摸著摸著就哭了，多久沒被好好疼惜。
甘古拜在阿萨德梅广场发表演说，她没有垂头丧气，而是抬头挺胸。印度人真会跳舞
其实剧本一般，但印度有这个意识还是不容易，加一星
其实不用拍得这么理想主义诶 还是得靠傍大佬 要说跟大佬没点什么我是不信的 这种很好嗑啊干嘛不拍谁要看跟小白脸恋爱调情
《甘古拜·卡蒂娅瓦迪》
So不可能同意“女权不彻底，等于彻底不女权”的
每一场歌舞都像是揉入意向情绪的华丽分节符，时不时看一部宝莱坞还是挺有意思的体验，但也仅限于时不时
那她之前劝留下来的那些女孩不就是被她害了么
虽然片子的底层三观有问题，但却让我明白，女人一定不要太在感情上相信男人，在任何处境下都要多动脑子做搞事业，才会有话语权。最后女主的颜真的戳我。
两个半小时的大女主爽片依旧令人窒息，哪怕被总理接见她也是带着厚重镣铐的社会活动家，从依靠黑帮大佬换取个人尊严，安排女孩和自己心爱的人的婚礼赢得选举，再到最后明明自己也是my制度受骗者却只能呼吁合法化。她比任何人都清楚买卖女性不会终结，被贱卖的女人回家就是光荣处决，但她解决不了，她只能呼吁合法化，让已经深陷泥潭的人活得有一点尊严。爽片都只能在既成框架里跳舞真的太压抑。
女主好漂亮哦，和近期那个热门国产电视剧比起来真的好有意思哦
他妈的，他妈的，我真的好喜欢印度的歌舞爱情片
导演有点用力过猛，煽情的东西浅尝即止还是好的，多了就会让影片整体节奏显得冗长。还有黑社会大哥那个角色的塑造有些上帝化了。亮点是女演员的表演。
自立自强的女人真的超有魅力，所以我们国家还要让我们等多久。
