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".
快跑！可以把友邻里面打好评的全部取关的程度。
娱乐性挺足的，但总觉得背景人物和情感铺垫不明不白？李现从头到尾脸上写着“我是反派”，咏梅这片和《风去洛阳》都是演大佬，气场全开。
七分，可以一看的及格电影。
不好看，只有机关，没有戏剧，然后呢，也没有动作，更没有情感。
前半段太赶像急着赶飞机一样，后半段倒是慢下来了，但是置景真是假的惨不忍睹……葛优保护雷佳音出庙，就像老一辈电影人传递香火一样，唏嘘啊……“不管你承不承认，如今这五脉早已把鉴真弃假这句话丢了。”
都是常规化套路，剧情别跟小说比，现在能尊照原著的改编都是稀缺物种，特效是真下了功夫，相当震撼酷炫。也确实看出了辛芷蕾版《鬼吹灯》，葛大爷这回也不会挨骂。6
有李现和辛芷蕾都忍不了那个满脸横肉的许愿
强行煽情，葛优的角色都没立住，最后强行让大爷牺牲，强行煽情，差评。男女一没有感情递进，女一有生扑男一的嫌疑，没有前史，没有感情递进，两人的战斗友情从何谈起。
感觉更适合夏天上，爆米花咔咔一吃就不用去想片子里各种逻辑漏洞了。中间的推理过程节奏做得很好，很容易就被带着走，看得挺酣畅淋漓。但是不能细想，一细想就是各种bug，最让我没想通的就是真的外面包层浆也还是真的啊，怎么给爷爷洗白？感觉费了一大通事造了一个大局却没有兜住底，头重脚轻的感觉。
还行，剧情不拖沓，演技都在线，特效还OK。雷佳音又让我相信了他一回，没让我失望。药不然的选角有点奇怪，不够狠，总让我以为他是好角色。剧情也挺迷惑的，直接告诉儿子真相不就行了吗？让儿子白跑一趟，这不坑儿吗。
这个IP是咋回事，拍来拍去拍不好，这个电影版看着花里胡哨，但我怎么觉得我好像就跟没看过书一样，这情节都是什么鬼。
无论是几百年的古董家族，还是八十年代的古玩协会，还是集体造假村，演的太假，跟普通人一点共鸣都没有。
鉴古董时加入的特效，除了让人出戏和更感觉“这就是个综艺”之外再无其他，而且过于滥用不知收敛。另外，这片子也存在“情绪没有到位就用音乐硬顶上去”的情况，最后谜底揭晓的那段音乐，极度地“主旋律”，极度浮夸
拍的真的很差，不是对比电视剧版，是叙事太快，人物别说塑造了，都不知道他干什么的，就是打起来了好上了，这类型比较好的是国家宝藏。还有次元大介怎么都来客串了呢
影版，真不行。不知道这部电影目标群体是谁？原著党？大部分细节缺失，配角故事线强化（还可以），但缺主心骨，原著党不满意。其他观众？细节缺失造成逻辑不严谨，观众不是傻子，会衍生一系列疑问。这部作品最大的家国情怀没体现，造成的矛盾和疑问无法自圆，实在是可惜题材了。剧版比之强太多。
所以绕了这么大个圈子，到头来真佛头还是给了日本人？
中配《寻龙诀》吧。葛大爷太强了，全片百分之九十五的笑点都靠他。
这部里老朝奉不再是一个悬念，甚至也不是一个反派。整体偏向于探宝冒险。
想表达的信息量过多又难以取舍所以叙事聚不拢，但勉强贴到了父子情上，算是有了点完成度。鉴宝寻宝这部分的趣味性让我撑住看完了全片。
评分低了，至少7.5。表演剧情细节质感都在线
