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".
朴素纪实风格，虽然没有现代拍出的谍战剧那种紧张刺激，但是在牵动人心方面并不比比现在的做的弱。
画面好暗……原来我喜欢的诺兰拍的蝙蝠侠系列电影而已…
从反派的视角刻画蝙蝠侠同样通过传播恐惧来实现权力个体的正义、蝙蝠侠与谜语人的非自愿合作揭开哥谭市的藏污纳垢，都是本片构思的出彩之处，而同样的，这些妙笔也被探询室布鲁斯的一通大吼“你是个精神病怪胎，我跟你不一样”给弃置了。以及，腐败成这样居然连媒体都没监管，嗯，不符合现实。
8，夜戏真是把我看湿了，这影像质感远远在妇联、美队以及扎导版正联，这些近十年豆瓣评分更高的超英电影之上，电影在人设和故事上受元年（初出茅庐，稍显稚嫩的新人蝙蝠侠以及黑人猫女）以及漫长的万圣节（黑帮故事以及追查凶杀案）两部经典漫画影响，但在影像上真正给马特里弗斯以灵感的显然是以七宗罪为代表的美国新黑色电影，你能在电影里看到特别明显的七宗罪的影子，以保罗达诺演的角色为最突出的例子，去奇观化回归蝙蝠侠原初的黑色质感是电影影像上成功的最主要因素。电影对底层恐怖主义的展现又在精神气质上承接了《小丑》，慈善基金成了政客和黑帮分子巧取豪夺、攫取财富的工具，主题还是挺有批判性，只是超英电影必然的正派光环让整个第三幕在危机爆发和危机解决上显得比较垮塌，跟七宗罪这种公认的经典拉开差距也就在于此了。
因为疫情没法去影院看，资源出来后第一时间就来欣赏欣赏。我真觉得这部新版蝙蝠侠拍的是真不错。罗伯特·帕丁森的气质真是继贝尔之后我最喜欢的蝙蝠侠演员。整个影片也有点靠拢诺兰的那三部曲的意味。视听极为出色，在黑暗的环境中观影效果极佳，幽暗低沉的环境，让人沉浸其中。剧情上则是典型的悬疑犯罪特色，不停地与犯罪首脑进行博弈，这其中，蝙蝠侠孤胆英雄的形象贯穿其中，大量的内心独白和沉稳冷静的格斗动作，塑造了一个独行侠、夜行者的英雄人物形象。与猫女的戏份很有味道。至于片中所揭露的打着正义名义的那些所谓的社会的败类，在权钱交易的背后，是哥谭整个社会的悲哀和不幸，极强的写实风格揭露出这一幕幕丑陋堕落的事实，令人发指。因此哥谭需要一个英雄，也只有蝙蝠侠才能够做到。
水最多的蝙蝠侠；哥谭市天天暴雨，市民心情抑郁（心理变态）有情可原；一哥翼装飞行帅到我了，算是肉体凡胎类超英为数不多的现实化亮点吧；走的是黑色电影风格的悬疑路线，梗在Falcone这等着吗？→马耳他之鹰的Falcon；一哥这版《信条》拍摄期间请假偷偷去试镜的蝠和《信条》里的Neil有隐含的相承之处（？），都是企图逆熵增者，但是混乱的哥谭就是哥的泥潭（肉身是不run，那球球先把你家账管管好吧！）；找保罗•达诺演谜语人，想到他最有名的角色应该是《血色将至》里借宗教蛊惑人心的传教士，两角有相似的疯癫味道；反派全都是白男，倒难为了好莱坞一个个把你们给solo起来；低调摄影低到尘埃里，画面巨黑还动不动各种大灯直对着镜头照，几度被闪瞎眼&问候摄影指导；音乐音效轰炸了仨小时，社畜难顶，急需音轨留白的艺术。
有着当今红色影片所极度缺乏的温吞与细腻，好处是更加愿意尝试去贴近人物、走近历史现实，坏处是容易睡着。看完觉得舞剧改编确实是很现代，很出色，我又很想买年末的演出票了。 [2021彩色修复版]
想当初他可是我意识里的第一个帅哥~~~
有一段黑暗空间开枪打斗的镜头印象很深刻，拍的很有艺术性。
极度渲染，极度癫狂。
国民党的江防密报
和我想象的差很多，好的差，坏的也差！ 好的是我居然没想到，修复的居然这么好，这色彩鲜明，靓丽！但景深部分与细节还是差一些！背景尤其绿植与墙上壁画这类物体，在人物移动之时都有变化。也许是我们的技术还没精细到区块，仍旧是局部的微调。另外结尾加了片尾演职滚动与片尾曲！ 不好的差是，本以为通篇全彩，结果开头演职人员的背景与影片结束时蓝天白云逐渐褪色，恢复黑白，或许是有意为之，但为什么不做到底呢？也许自有其道理。 整体还是非常棒的体验，因为太惊喜！
最近爱看这些红色革命老电影，还每每热泪盈眶。回首自己年少轻狂，喟叹沧海桑田
在哥谭，媒体竟然可以随意展示权力系统里的黑暗面，难道电视机不应该天天播厉害了我的哥谭？要我说作者还是不懂哥谭^_^
之前和小妹一起去看了彩色修复版，超出预期。之前看早春二月的时候就有留意到孙道临身上清癯的书卷气，在这部里也很明显。“十七年文艺”的气质很有意思，有强烈的红色左翼元素，但相比较后来的样板戏时代，又还是保留了一点温柔敦厚的传统。这部就很典型，讲的是红色故事，细节却很有人情味，有隽永的深情，和左翼尚存天真希冀时的热忱。
影片根据革命烈士李白的事迹改编，是一部优秀的反映我党地下工作题材的电影。孙道临在片中扮演的李侠的形象深入人心。
帕丁森真是厚积薄发型演员啊，蝙蝠侠的面具之下有吸血鬼的苍白和阴郁，something in the way的出现也是神来之笔，很契合这版蝙蝠侠的颓废、孤独感。（好几个镜头梦回爱德华谁懂🥲
黑暗是保护色，在里面躲藏创伤，夜色里是超级强者，心灵的虚弱经受不了阳光的暴晒，只能舔着伤吞着血长大。
用冷硬的外壳武装敏感的内在，顶着夜幕游走在穷街陋巷，抓住风中摇曳的线索揪出一张庞大的犯罪关系网，最终将幕后主使斩草除根。虽然这一版蝙蝠侠在主旨上没有多少新意，但这种复古黑色侦探故事的呈现很对我口味
成为经典也是情有可原，纯以剧作论有几分好莱坞类型片的风范。孙道临穿军装怎么看怎么别扭，一换上长袍立马就风度翩翩了。
