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".
浪客剑心真人版五部曲收官之作，情感真挚，画面唯美，一个凄美的爱情故事，一部令人满意的收官之作。
最终章为自己点亮五星，剑心和巴抱在火堆前太美了！这一部是整个系列打斗最少的，老老实实讲一个俗烂古典爱情的故事，却让人看得进去，大概是知道要跟他们告别了。
漫改巅峰，美学角色贴合度气氛虐恋度各方面都没得可挑了，把我整哭了😭
系列最佳，毋庸置疑。虽然细节把控方面不如ova，少了些许诗意，但是很好地抓住了原著精髓，能做到最好的方面，大部分也都做到了。
完结撒花，村花真美。
剑心让人心疼，雪代巴让人心碎……喜欢剑心二十年了，如今终于等来一个堪称完美的句号！再见了，剑心！
桂先生立刻懂了,笑容逐渐凝固..... 然后接下来， 巴和剑心的对话，巴的表情也挺有趣的
唯一一部拔刀即见血 但是太少咯 ps竟然不把激情戏拍出来
这个叙事顺序完全按部就班走完了漫画各个篇章，10年，太牛逼了！！！！！男女主好在线的感觉，而且最后的事了弃剑去太帅了
最后十分钟看哭了……
哎，这部讲的就是绯村的心啊，这才是《浪客剑心》该有的样子！这片子做的甚至让我相信它是原创的，不是漫改的。因为太精致了。这追忆篇的故事是极好的，就是打斗太少了。当然此片也不需要，因为之前的三部已足够过瘾。这最后两部，只要完整就好了！
打斗场面真的绝赞。最后战歌响起，新时代到来，依然鲜血淋漓。
两笔刀伤，
剧情就不说了，太烂了。但拔刀斋时期的还原度真的绝了，砂糖还原了剑心的脆弱、狂气和美感。唯一的遗憾在于村花确实不适合雪代巴，要是换成苍井优就选角完美了。masa看起来太幼了也不太适合未婚夫其实。。。
没啥意思，属于前传。目前该系列我觉着最好看的还是第一部！
本片的动作场面不多却凌厉，情感戏更多，有村架纯的表演更吸引人。
先看人诛篇再看追忆片是个错误的决定！真不晓得导演怎么想的，人诛篇基本把本篇最精华的人物关系和最高潮的段落交代完毕，破坏了它们在本篇叙事的整体当中蓦然出现时的那些震动，那些审美体验。本身只有3星。但想到这个系列陪伴观众走过将近10年，并且每一部都可见尽心竭诚，实属不易。在这基础上加1星。值得一提的是，本篇的剑心终于砍人带血了。以及这次带来新的思辨：若妇孺提刀，是否杀？为了实现和平而进行的战斗真的存在吗？只要为了社会，只要有崇高的理想，就只能牺牲一些渺小的事物吗？曾经，她拼命保护她爱的第二个他；后来，他用尽气力去守护令他拥怀幸福的第二个她。雪已飞，疤成碑，难忘两凄泪；孤行路，剑自缚，终盼同眠宿。
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……
和动画没法比，色调上就有先天劣势。动画里剑心在黑暗的京都街头杀人，转头看到如雪一般白的巴，和环境产生强烈对比，真人版则做不到，哪怕有村架纯穿再白的和服都做不到。初中有位学姐在学校报纸上写了篇剑心与雪代巴的同人文，就是那篇文章让我知道了《浪客剑心》，感谢那位学姐，也感谢让那篇文章登报的某位老师。
动作戏太精彩了，干净利落。杀巴未婚夫的时候，还在飘舞樱花，血腥又美丽。
