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".
故事情节比较简单，软科幻，AI反人类的故事。视觉效果很赞
当时看香蕉的时候，吉吉国王就是我的快乐源泉。
这是把脑洞告诉小学生，然后让小学生写的剧本吧？把地球线砍掉，拉长月球线，加个和人类祖先的第三类接触，估计勉强能及格。
大场面挺好的 就是这绿幕扣得也太烂了吧… 人物跟纸片人似的飘在背景前…
最后总有一个人选择牺牲自己保存大家，保存地球，保存文明与希望。
5.5分。这部电影生动形象地描述了在写毕业论文时，全篇的每个句子都引参考文献，中间象征性地加入一丁点看似超前实则毫无逻辑依据的点子凑成的一篇论文会是什么样的。塞一堆东西，又是人类起源，又是月球空心，又是星际大战，又是地球灾难，哪个都没讲清楚。
这脑洞也儿戏得过于蠢了吧，灾难片场景越来越退步了，不仅特效廉价而且几乎看不见一个灾难片里常见的路人群众，除了主角团两家子外也就两个蠢贼。至于进入月球地洞后简直是科幻电影的超级灾难，如果说前半部分还可以算做廉价特效级别灾难片，后半部分简直是科幻电影俗套刻奇场景大集合的蠢破天的雷人灾难，上亿美金预算的电影就不会找几个靠谱的场景设计师吗，几十亿年跨星际文明级别的场景就这么廉价吗，甚至出现了星球大战级别的舰队火炮
所有橋段都太陳舊，特效沒看頭，陰謀論懶得編理由，負責搞笑的胖子也不好笑。
剧情逻辑差到了一个前无古人的境界，是不是后无来者很不好说，江山代有才人出啊，你有充足的理由相信一个五年级的小学生会写的更好，甚至再大胆一点，一条狗扒拉几下出来的玩意都会更赏心悦目一些。
最后小胖的意识被月球收编，是在cue男主的《招魂》吗？
前半部分确实让人失望，不禁怀疑都2022了怎么会还在用20年前的灾难片方式叙事。但后半部分主角团的月球之旅还是令人兴奋的，至少它是个类似《火星任务》的脑洞纯科幻，想象力是在的，相比之下地球那帮人的戏份就显得无比多余，其实就穿插看看地球被毁的特效就行了。总的来说导演还算有点追求，没有完全复刻自己那些前作，只是水平有限，6-6.5分差不多吧
电影感觉有一点像《流浪地球》，但这么一对比，球的完成度可真是太高了。
深海、巨物、幽闭恐惧症者慎重，反之也会非常喜欢这种视觉震撼。
太扯淡了，说好的灾难片，转眼就是廉价科幻片了？
艾默里奇真的太喜欢毁灭地球了，然而在2022年封城期间看这部片子的感触也很不同：“毁灭吧！一起毁灭吧！”
剧情只想给二星，关于人文的部分和撞车差不多。给四星的原因是因为，是老婆买的票，是和看问天少年杂志的儿子一起看的。剧情有bug，就有吧。哪有那么多尽善尽美呢。比起电影内容，当下的自己可能更关心的是和谁做了什么。
作为下饭剧，还看的过去。这明显是个番外剧，号称网大有点勉强
感觉有点尬的电影，很喜欢赘婿，不过这部电影拍得确实有点糟糕，女主高甜为啥会有这么多现代化的生意头脑也完全没有说明白，咸鱼和互联网佳缘等创意确实有点赘婿的感觉，不过总感觉有点尬，而且似乎不合理地方很多，全剧搞笑点也不多～最后苏文兴表白高甜那段有一点感人，不过感觉女主并不漂亮，元锦儿和聂云竹有出现～～无论如何，还是期待赘婿第二季！
讲道理剧情不算离谱，那些民间科学家的阴谋论还是非常有意思，而且足以自圆其说的。当然艾默里奇还是抱着自己屡试不爽的剧作宝典，“国是我的国，家是我的家”，其实到了这个年头了，不想看你家庭美满了，请毁灭个痛快。
还是承袭了电视剧的高质量的，让我眼前一亮。无论是职场线还是情感线都蛮饱满的，推进流畅，看起来还挺过瘾。
