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".
16'斧头砍门致敬了《闪灵》
有些不必要的强行搞笑可以少一点（比如武人上通风口那里），整体来说有笑点有泪点，悬疑反转的气氛也烘托出来了，“一个女孩，想要站在舞台上唱歌，怎么了”？掷地有声的发问，从胸腔里发出共鸣。希望这种片子可以多一点！
接受爱国主义教育 但描写长津湖的战役拍摄的太匮乏了 还没有一开始炸通信塔那一段精彩 感觉重点有点没抓对 最煽情的地方莫过于胡军饰演的雷爹牺牲和冻死的战士们了吧
刚开始的场面我以为是《十二公民》，看下去才发现不是，至于短评中经常提到的“剧本杀”问题，这个我很难去体会，因为我本身是没有玩过剧本杀的。
反转致敬还是有意思的，隐喻也埋的不错，中国还是有用心对待电影的主创。票房黑马实至名归，但终究还是无聊了点。
开头特效直接看傻眼 剧情碎得我直接懵逼 结尾看完到泪点 三个小时 哭不出来 吴京是中国人的大男主吗？ 三位拍得这么烂对得起抗美援朝志愿军吗？ 胡军 段奕宏 演技太牛 yyqx的角色存在的意义是什么？必须要每一个片都有成长的历程吗？这还是战争片？
。没有强行反战反思，没有过于个人英雄主义，拍出了我们正义之师的精气神！但是压轴的长津湖之战反而流于程式化了，唉……
真的很精彩了，一波三折，把我看进去了，而且很剧本杀，虽然小成本，但是很惊喜！
最直观的感受是，我决定不过圣诞节了，从前我觉得和平年代百花齐放，过过节也没什么，现在我觉得不是的，历史教育任重道远，我不愿意傻呵呵地替别人庆祝胜利，我有什么资格去替别人高兴？
虽然有些不如人意的地方。但就凭这个题材。他就值五星
剧本真妙哇，三个大场景的转换，剧情一层叠一层，角色厚重了，故事就有着落了。二刷时看到了更多的细节，大海衣服上蝴蝶形状的胸针，远远和自己偶像的合影；夜莺爱吃的橘子是齐乐山吃的最后的食物。散落在角落的是线索，也是情感。看完很想站起来给这帮人好好鼓鼓掌。
战争场面震撼我妈，叹为观止，看完后好想哭，伍千里拿出那个记录牺牲的战士们的小本本的时候我真的哭到泪崩
一个疑问，伍百里的故事到底是什么呢？是千里最后说的那段关于“帮帮我”的部分吗？
笑的时候，好笑得要死，吓人的时候也是真吓人。敢讽刺，有良知，真是不容易！
有这么一群人，他们不是一寸也没挪动过，却是生生克制住了摇晃，守住了自己内心的“阵地”。
大年初一的凌晨4点结束观影。韩寒的味道在的
“这场仗如果我们不打，就是我们下一代要打。我们出生入死，就是为了他们不再打仗。”
剧情、演技、道具。。。都更像小屏幕、业余模仿者的水平，还达不到电影的水准。故事想要倡导的道义难能可贵，加一星。
但讲故事手法太生硬直白。没有《八佰》《敦刻尔克》让人深思，也没有《悬崖之上》扣人心弦，特别是最后欧豪客串的太突然，明显是来送人头。说是耗资13亿大制作，但顶多在特效上算是高配版《金刚川》。题材挺好，但编剧、剪辑还可以做到更好。
千玺棒棒的！！！视觉效果超赞！感觉跟《1950他们正年轻》搭一起看超好哭😭
