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".
化身时间管理大师，安排了行程满满的一天，虽然错过了五分钟的开场，但好像也没有错过什么的感觉。
本来想只给一颗星，活脱脱一部抗战神片，念在范伟的敬业，还有导演的确学过不少知识都想用出来，勉强二颗星，还没看过的朋友就别看了。
电影已经死了，游戏也过时了，我们需要更多 cat videos。
范伟影帝，每一根睫毛，每一条鱼尾纹都是戏，感染力老强了。张涵予演这类题材的是不是多了点，都是一个样，没啥亮点，还有那个小护士，貌似可有可无
别看台词那么多，人人都变成话痨，但其实内容没啥营养。
当时在影院看到海报还挺期待，现在庆幸没有去影院。就这点故事硬是能拍2个小时，人物没弧光故事没新意，武戏很差。
好无聊啊，老王算是唯一丰满一点的角色，张涵予的大衣礼帽真的一秒出戏。
本来挺不错的电影，完全能上4星的，前大半段都挺好的，全让结尾的戏给毁了，鬼子跑到车头想重新发动火车，小兔拔刀反抗，却只是用铲子将其打晕而不补枪就很谜之操作，最后强行来个同归于尽看着就很假，而后藤原的刻意装x则更是将之前铺垫、营造的气氛瞬间毁掉，顷刻间又将该剧拉回到了抗日神剧的层次，让人仿佛都能听到演员心中的呐喊“我也想开枪，可导演不让啊。。。”，前面都演的挺好的，这到了最后怎么就不能好好的设计个更令人信服的结局呢？？？
情怀满分！前半段鸡皮疙瘩后半段激动出眼泪！”Love is the genesis of everything.”
整部片的态度反正就是，玩呗，闹呗，搞呗，华纳你愿意给钱我就拍呗。
前半场我以为自己在看SNL的一个吐槽sketch。话说我真的宁可看Jonathan Groff和Neil Patrick Harris唱一出音乐剧，也比一遍遍看20年前的flashback强。可能借Smith之口说出那句“是华纳在强行要求拍续集”时，导演编剧在疯狂眨眼暗示“我们也是被迫的”。
本以为是烂片，出乎意外地好看。途中哼起过好几次《弹起我心爱的土琵琶》。
华纳：你拍也好不拍也罢，这个项目一定要上马。
华纳：你拍也好不拍也罢，这个项目一定要上马。
没有想象中那么震撼，高能热血沸腾的桥段太少，好多地方带过的过于简单，所以还是要让专业编剧多校正剧本！开片一个多小时都是平平淡淡，看的都要睡着了，魏晨的角色出来后，稍微进入一点高能，但是还远远不够！唯一出彩的角色还是范伟老师，演的真好，手榴弹炸汉奸是最解气最好看的一个桥段！
整个故事没有重点，没有高潮，人物太扁平，看不出太多性格，而且这电影刚开场，就会让你觉得，可能也不太好看，事实也是如此，可想而知，从国庆撤档一点也不可惜，是掀不起多少水花的作品，灵魂拷问，山东会有大雪好几天的日子吗？
节奏不太好，一直下雪，微超现实
抗日影片中似乎很少有涉及到与铁道相关的内容，通过这部影片了解到了铁道英雄们英勇抗日的故事，张涵予的发挥依旧稳定，范伟的演技真的是近期上映的几部他出演的影片中表现最出色的，作为影片中唯一的女性角色，周也出场虽然不多，但也完成的不错，魏晨近几年出演的抗战影片很多，在这部影片中的人物塑造的也不错。
公司组织的免费观影。如果最后一段能升华，那我也就忍了前面的拖沓，可最后一段太特么莫名其妙了，全拖垮。划入“好演员救不了烂剧本”标签。额外一星给范大爷，一星给因为我曾是芋头。
范伟影帝级演技太厉害了，前面的谄媚和后面的正气鲜明对比，除了他之外，其他包括张涵予都泯然众人
