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".
女主很漂亮。就是Netflix的中等水平小清新青少年恋爱片而已。
漫威和索尼就拍了个这？！剧情大无语，而且还拍的乱七八糟，要说第一部还有一点惊喜，第二部真的就是强行狗尾续貂的感觉。鸡言鸡语和片尾彩蛋的小蜘蛛还算亮点（引出无家可归），另外Anne和Dan表现还不错，除此之外好像没什么值得说的地方了。整个反派设定也乱七八糟，连着看了几部Woody Harrelson的烂片之后真是快有PTSD了…反正就挺可惜的吧，挺好的一个系列，还是不希望就这么断了（坑都挖了这么多了）…
之前没怎么看过西部题材的电影，但挺喜欢里面的配乐和对白的，听着还挺有感觉的
好像西部片的西部片，什么都没有深入进去全部都流于形式，就连配乐都似是而非！
有点疑惑：如果女主因为自己目标明确要当律师，外加父母的前车之鉴不想谈校园恋爱，这部片子不应该是男主努力追求女主吗？如果重点是放在高中毕业即分手，那不应该设置成女主/男主对异地恋没自信，两人以分手为前提交往吗？
作为一部西部片画面质量有些廉价了，这剧本感觉能拍更好些。
感谢网飞，完美无瑕的戏剧配乐，星光熠熠的华丽卡司，台词、剪辑、调度拳拳到肉的酣畅体验。2021年我们才看到全非裔阵容，荡气回肠的风格佳作。曾几何时，经典叙事舞台只为白人霸占，一旦有心系统性消音，当再现传统类型的反向套路由不同肤色演绎，满屏政治正确和历史虚无的无知恶评已经无声旁证少数话语被长期镇压的遗毒。虽然情节是虚构，但他们——西部荒野的黑人牛仔——曾真实存在。恶贯满盈的凶徒不过是凡人，真正的魔鬼长着白皮肤。地狱如何存在？正如闯入白种城镇银行，迎接他们的是鸦雀无声的真空寂静，是不以平视目光回应的无耻嗤笑，是少数族裔试图讲述自己的历史，就被行业主流的虚伪平权让渡暗地推挤边缘，悄然抹杀的常态。这样的电影不是太少，而是远远不够。复仇始于深爱，终于亲手斩断宿命深渊之链，「洛夫」死去，自由的爱将新生。
导演或编剧绝对是港片迷。几首曲子也配得特别好。
半个钟好戏。剧情细碎的吓人 不在制作下功夫 而是打种族牌 让尼们装酷耍帅 博同类欢心 实属下策。导演倒是野心很大 想拍一部反潮流西部片 但效果非常拉胯 可以看出他非常努力的让黑人尽量自然的出现在舞台中央 但在那个时代 “negro”舞刀弄棒 白人老爷当看客 还是违和感满满 观感奇差 戏剧的基本盘裂了 音乐再好也无从补救
毫无疑问，资本塑造了这一切。
53/100。首先承认导演拥有一定的对于画面的准确掌控力，许多碎片都带给观众一种这似乎并非是一部单纯的黑人意淫大戏。然而在具体的故事上还是带给人了这样的感受，其实且不提那些毫无必要的“黑人凝视白人”的情节，光是两股势力之首在最后呈现出的这种看似宿命实则狗血的设置就足够让人大呼救命了。我能够接受你毫无章法的枪战爆炸，我能够理解你试图表达出的那些情感，我甚至都可以把自己放在黑人的位置上来看待你们的政治正确，可是你最后来这么一出是做什么？白左看了都要大喊一声脑子有毛病。最后，勒凯斯·斯坦菲尔德真是黑人男明星颜值扛把子级别的存在。Ps.黑人在音乐上的天份，真是无人能及的。
变成了一部吵吵闹闹的爱情片，反派死的也是随意，只记得一直在吵架了
他说这些人都是历史根据上的

甚至看到最后我也不知道俩人到底分没分。。。。。。
啊哈哈哈哈哈，有意思啊，小蜘蛛的彩蛋啊啊啊啊！！！！！
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。
以及 导演蛮有趣的><
玩过荒野大镖客2的人都知道，没有死眼是干不掉骑着马的五个人。谁叫我这么喜欢西部片呢。
看到才一小时片长就知道人物和剧情都不可能立体/完善 但是小情侣的回忆/final date都太有感觉了 以及Aidan这么用心的男孩是真实存在的吗
