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".
沙丘不愧是最软的科幻歌剧，多年后再看，觉得越发幼稚了——哈姆雷特+阿拉伯的劳伦斯，处处都是大航海殖民史的影子，看多了这种狭隘历史观真的很疲惫……另外电影太长了，开头慢镜头大场面还是很有味道的，后面全是慢镜头拖节奏就没劲了吧，而且男主小哥那么帅特写却那么少，那女的一脸街头痞子样长得那么丑还玩儿命大特写是为什么啊要了命了，还不如沙虫顺眼。抱走小哥不约。
綢緞般流淌的沙丘，閃著香料的紅光，夢境中的異域與少女，浩瀚裡藏著危機… 蒼白瘦弱卻也身手不凡的少年，在人性與自然的角力中，接連失去了父親、摯友，失去昔日的榮爵… 巨碩轟鳴的工業機器，蒼茫無垠的極熱世界，冷酷殘暴的權謀鬥爭，陰險狡詐的人心叵測，命如草芥的沙場交戰… 人類真的太渺小、太脆弱了… 戴上家族戒指的剎那，不論是預言指引或現實迫使，少年眼神變得堅毅，直面恐懼：駕駛飛行器在風暴圈中漂流，緊握命運的操控桿 升上五千米的高空，墜落乾燥炎熱的沙溝，第一次見證人心陰暗 (家醫=張震!!) 第一次成功對外使用“魅音”，第一次親手殺戮… 身著沉重的蒸餾服，肩負重振家業的使命，化身為弗瑞曼人的“救世主”，從少年蛻變為公爵的修煉之路，即將開啟… (小吐槽: 沒看過原著，但埋入保羅和荃妮的愛情線…真的太過生硬…)
非常丹尼斯维伦纽瓦。想不起来上次在大银幕看到五幕式是什么时候了，不过这也不是导演第一次用五幕式。他算是一个很会用声音的导演。连续剧式的拍法难免令人不爽，但不论是视听语言，还是在美学上同样融合了复古与未来的美术设计，都令我无法不喜欢。
没有殖民过只有被殖民的人，看得我昏昏欲睡。
当视觉与听觉以一种暴力被控制时，你的体感就已经消失了。这是另一种折磨，有延迟性快感的，但终归会消逝。不乏许多支撑宇宙建立的细节，比如香料的价值、沙漠生存的巧思，但香料到底有何作用、沙漠生存到底有何不同？我感受不到，感受不到对资源攫取的狂热，感受不到人与环境之间的矛盾。我能在敕使河原宏的电影中感到沙砾划过皮肤的痛感，被流沙包围的绝望；《沙丘》里我只能感受到工业产能的过剩与过载。但我也必须说，我看到了构建一个完整世界观的野心，真的有许多帮助观众实现想象的学理性细节。聊胜于无，也许是很长时间内同题创作的最优解了，只是代价并不低，一个能将沿着地平线行进的士兵拍出固态美感的导演，似乎也丧失了对于影像的想象力。
美术和音乐也太棒了吧，根本没看够！我去补小说了🥲
我是那种就算书一般般，但装帧非常有品有质的话，我也会觉得这本书很棒。沙丘在视觉设计语言上，真的没得说，观影感觉就像掉入了一个又深又沉的梦，在梦里变成了另外一个人，有了很奇特的经历，似幻似真，更何况第一部的沙丘故事虽然没有跳脱出救世主那一套，但起码也不拉垮，铺垫做足又不沉闷，人物设计，服装设计，场景设计都是满满的又酷又文艺。
看完电影，觉得那身隐形防护服很有意思，突然有一个很恶趣味的想法，要是穿着这身衣服啪啪啪，显示的会是蓝色还是红色呢？
Villeneuve永遠不會讓我失望。
四星半，好看！又长又慢，但就是不觉得长不觉得慢。
又是一部可以拿来向外星人炫耀的作品。一个普通的中二故事，被一群大师雕琢成艺术和美的丰碑，如果有中场休息时间，我能坐在那看一天。所以『沙丘』应该可以成就甜茶吧，毕竟两个半小时之后，我完全想象不出第二个保罗少爷了。
宏大的世界观暂且不谈，这片就是审美的胜利。如果是佐杜洛夫斯基去拍，那一定是各种元素堆叠花俏且绚丽吧；但维伦纽瓦给出的版本，是真的做好了减法，又突出了其标志性的美学质感。
大失所望只能说，前期宣传得洋洋洒洒，还以为多精彩绝伦呢，结果电影看完了我感觉看了个寂寞，沙丘是一本书，这部电影就只拍了个序。如果把沙丘比做一颗苹果树，那这部电影可能拍了一片叶子吧。冗长，拖沓，没有重点，或许是为了第二部第三部第四部打基础？？？
首先Hans Zimmer yyds！原作本来就是个披着科幻皮的中世纪宫廷斗争奇幻小说，所以槽点多也没办法，专心看烧钱的视效和甜茶就够了。看的时候就觉得是在Wadi Rum拍的，一查果然是，哈！
画面是不错，故事老套、思想腐朽，充满宿命论和神棍气质，这边星战都开打了，这边敞着怀古惑仔少年激斗篇呢，任务设定无敌玛丽苏，毫无波澜，如果想拍连续剧不在基地遇袭或者duke死亡之吸的时候结束，偏要弄带着妈妈去冒险这样的情节，弄的收尾毫无吸引力。详略不当、功力不足老想拍史诗、沉迷冷兵器不找点好的武术指导或者动作导演，在那神穿、迷魂、精神控制，太low了
胖将军打东方小伞，吐口水表达敬意，拖垮人均寿命的大量升格，还有模仿醉酒Jóhannsson的配乐——季墨老师以史上最难听的风笛曲突破自我不服不行。新世界的新意很快让位给对星际三国故事的审美疲劳，导演貌似想要达到人神合一的终极境界，但距离降临那种原著、改编以及摄制各环节星罗齐阵的高度已太遥远。挑战suspense of disbelief的刺眼卡司里，欧洲两位老戏骨干脆地喧宾夺主。
美轮美奂，有时是秩序美，有时是古典美，公爵死的那场戏特别像卡拉瓦乔的画，公爵夫人长身黑衣，让我心碎
喜欢飞行器、哥尼、军装，和某些宏大画面，不喜欢一直闪回出现的赞达亚，音乐无感，故事也无感，不过多年以后，如果依然是冷兵器的时代的战斗场面，其实让人觉得，所谓高科技和远古时代，说不定就是交叠在一起的，明天重复昨天的事，倒也没啥。
已经好几年都在吐槽，为什么几十年前的电影那么有史诗感，背景宏大，现在电影却拍不出那种氛围，终于等来了沙丘，作为开篇很吸引我，导演很有野心，是个世界观很大的全新ip新章，看了这部想把原著看完
两个半小时的电影讲了个寂寞，导演极具风格化的叙事方式反而成了累赘，再配上莫名诡异的BGM，看得让人昏昏欲睡。没读过原著，可能原著就是这样？就这还只是个序章，连故事都没推进，但很难让人期待下一部，就这样吧
