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".
一部关于死亡的教育片，知死方能珍惜眼前，知死方能珍视生命。
5分钟音乐录影带的料硬要被煲成这么大锅鸡汤，就看你喝不喝得下去。
演技没话说 抛开科幻的设定 内核找的角度无新意 没有打动我 Awkwafina有小惊喜 潜力挺大的
阿里不愧是各种最佳男配拿到手软的神人，一人分饰两角，每个都性格鲜明、忠于人设，希望他能够凭本片拿到最佳男主，黑人男演员里他应该是可以接替摩根弗里曼、史皇来挑大梁的人了。
生离死别也是一场自己对自己的战斗。Ali的演技令人折服，最后两个Cameron在阁楼里相遇的那一刻，2号的眼神太有戏了。
“死生契阔，与子成说。执子之手，与子偕老。”总在拷问着所谓的永恒，但，是记住曾经相爱的时刻，还是再次创造。在轻科幻的设置之下，蕴藏着更重要强烈的情感内核；并且从“双生”的设置开始之后，它大概与Apple TV+大多数的电影都保持着高度的一致，将事情代往更加温柔与平静的方向（也绝对少不了基本不停歇的“抒情”音乐来持续烘托），不再向更多黑暗或是有寓意的方向探索。Ali将角色处理得优秀，似乎已经证明了“不止是男配”；Awkwafina与Glenn也提供优异的加持；再佐以仔细构设、足够迷人的未来世界；在各方面的优异之下，这个温吞、可能连《黑镜》/《摩登情爱》也不予收录的故事还是愧对了这些条件。
剧情设定和镜头语言将影片的黑色暴力处理得非常荒诞、幽默。几位角色特点鲜明、深入人心。
也许我们惧怕的从来都不是死亡本身 而是怕当下所拥有的一切都变成虚无 怕再也不能够真实地和爱的人相拥 说不上是死者的自私还是善意的谎言 爱到底能不能因此而延续谁也不知道 但最起码此刻你看着我的眼睛说的“I love u”是真实存在
设定有趣，但整体流于肤浅，披着科幻皮的爱情片，基本都在回忆夫妻间的感情。。。
“我”在历史长河中一直以谦虚寻找发问但神化自我的方式存在的，一直在找的那个神其实就是自己，只是一遍一遍的试图验证这个事实。片中人类攻克精神构成之后，研发团队忽略这么巨大的精神信仰崩塌，仅仅为了守护所爱的人不心碎，但出轨的时候又不假思索。人类真的是复杂又可爱的生物啊。
既然可以將一個人的記憶、知能和潛意識完全移轉到另一個相同的軀體上，何不就讓原來病老的殘殼消滅？等於是腦部移植。這樣，就沒有同時存在兩個人的困擾了。
整个电影节奏其实切个比较明显，用一小小段的故事把它切分开，有点儿电视连续剧的感觉。
自黑黑的够意思。小丑女还是又美又飒，在群戏里就很出彩，自己solo电影就撑不起来，红色裙子太美了，服装配乐都很赞。哎黑人leader，连最近看的幸存者都眼瞅着要黑人冠军。。。
只有我的狗发出质疑
作为科幻的创意不算新鲜，但故事重点更多在人文情怀。这类未来科技走进平常人生活的故事相比前些年已经大量淡化了惊悚元素、更多以理性的态度来探讨科技的影响，可以说未来即是现在。
很好奇
设定有趣，但整体流于肤浅，披着科幻皮的爱情片，基本都在回忆夫妻间的感情。。。
海星实在出戏，海星的杀人方法跟《异形前传》中异形的技能一样，没意思。剧情无法细究，打斗也不精彩，整体中上。老鼠女的角色比较出戏，这个技能控制也太bug了吧，另外小丑女表演很出彩，她好白啊，听说是全身抹了粉。完全冲着小丑女来看的，没有罗比，这片子就更一般般了。
只是希望，因为快绝望
