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".
这片子太酷了 无论从人物造型 配乐 还是分镜镜头的运用 都太合我口味了 每次出枪都那么出人意料 我认为这就是今年最佳西部片
我觉得蛮一般的
虽然毫无现实意义但这种老套剧情我还是🉑的
认真学了很多通心粉西部片之后的结果，最后画面突然变形复古十足，好评
看完后觉得确实剧情很老套，但跟近期全程连一枪都没开过剧情流水账还高分的西部片比这部确实不错
半个昆汀的水平，每一幅画面都很干净，每一个角色都特别有型，情节啥的就凑合着看吧。
前半部分还可以，但到了玛丽要单枪匹马去敌方打探消息那里剧情就开始崩了。另外，男主角鼻子大的都出戏了好吗……
甚至看到最后我也不知道俩人到底分没分。。。。。。
【和K观影】set design有点失真，其他都很entertaining
高中生（高中毕业生）搞分手巡游总显得有些非主流……
牛仔作為一種表演藝術形式真是神奇呀幾乎可以貼合我們的武俠那種血海深仇的路子, 演員們也很棒壞壞艾巴兄真是讓人很想舔屏請他千萬不要再接演好人了自殺小隊那種東西演得真的很軟屌 還有天菜Lakeith完全那個調調我猜他最後一場戲一定演得很開心 Edi Gathegi我也愛就是X戰警的達爾文呀好令人難忘的美人, 卡菲根本就像新龍門客棧的廚子似的就等你發揮! 還有一些音樂歌唱也都很好聽很適得其所, 拍攝也好真的就是老派那種假, 假到回味無窮
说实话，挺无聊的。能不能解释解释，为什么红色就打不过？？
一部不推荐看的电影，太装13了，情节扯淡的厉害，故意拖沓，浪费时间。
西部片从起上个世纪后半期开始式微，反映了快意恩仇的纵马意气逐渐被无形的市场操作社会运作所替代，个人很难能自由随性地由着自我在西部冒险了。近年来，西部片依然颓势中，除了昆汀的暴力美学外，以西部精神为内核外的，直叙苍茫恩仇的越来越少，片子色彩、配乐都很棒，IMDB万人打出6.5分，可见也许在对西部精神的呼唤里，还有难以割舍的一席之地，实分应在6.5而中允。
76分钟的片长，不能图它有什么解答。当作消遣足矣，毕竟莱德妹妹的神仙颜值太能打了(为她加一⭐)。
神奇的是，暂停播放处正好是最棒的部分，后面的剧情是一场灾难。为什么有这么多黑人出现在西部片里，就像，甘肃人出海打鱼那种感觉。
可惜你们居然是兄弟，可惜这满天烂飞的弹丸，可叹咱俩居然是同名…
要不是分数过于惨不忍睹，我就给两星了……剧情简单直接。虽说近100分钟的片长，实则没讲什么东西，比第一部差远了。两个反派很不错，毒液和艾迪的嘴炮就像是小学生吵架。总结，节奏太快剧情无脑慎看。
换成黑人演刺激多了。
一路看下来，满屏的自恋、“炫技”，BGM喧宾夺主…
