剧情介绍

  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".

  • 桀梁 9小时前 :

    难看到有点离谱搞笑,盖尔加朵cos埃及艳后亮个相然后从梯子下来的时候真是大无语了

  • 藤骞尧 8小时前 :

    本片真乃尼罗河真实惨案,但也没有那么惨,期待不高就不会失望。作为没有看过原著和任何电影以及剧透的人,我竟然可以猜到结局!🔨痛哭加朵的镜头我真的没眼看~

  • 玄寻桃 1小时前 :

    肯尼斯布拉纳的导演水平和他在《哈利波特与密室》里演的洛哈特教授一样华而不实。PS,而且他和洛哈特一样自恋!不停给自己加戏,加破坏叙事节奏且毫无意义的特写!

  • 骏凯 7小时前 :

    (剧透)确实节奏有问题,很多段落删掉或许好些。但是布克中弹的时候波洛那本能地一愣,严肃审问突然转变为错愕,一句“我的朋友布克”那种语气让我莫名触动,我把这看作是这个人物的弧光,是这个自恋角色内心柔软的表现,我喜欢这种反差。

  • 采曦 7小时前 :

    还可以吧,推理悬疑感没那么丝丝入扣,但是观赏感还是合格的。绿幕感有点强,不过整体美术服化道还是不错的。其实才疏学浅的我也没太懂为什么大家对Kenneth的风评这么差。加朵凹了一下埃及艳后Cleopatra造型有点突兀了,与那位演歌唱家的女演员曾经在话剧舞台上表演的Cleopatra相比那真是相形见绌(就怪不得看电影的时候觉得她那么眼熟呢)。

  • 祁易 9小时前 :

    根东方快车一样,其实重心并没放在推理上,华丽的剧情片

  • 柳慧捷 0小时前 :

    布景很华丽,却一点也不显气派,群像也不是一个人一段戏拍过去呀。自恋的波罗,添油加醋的改编,最晦气的选角和最不合适的口音。Armie Hammer和Gal Gadot两人说不清谁更差劲,波罗帮人出柜真是太糟糕了

  • 蓝孤兰 7小时前 :

    22_044。看得心塞,也许是粉丝滤镜,日常觉得阿婆的改编只要照着书改拍出来就不会差,不过每个编剧都喜欢大改特改。这里竟然给波洛(话说我还以为翻译成“波洛”应该是中文地区通用的了怎么我看这版本是翻译成白罗的?)安排了感情戏,还是俩段?谁会对这个感兴趣啊。而且波洛竟然还有追逐戏,顿时一时”XX大侦探“的称号在我脑海里浮现,这不是波洛好吗!然后非常zzzc地安排了黑人和同性恋(也真是相当翻白眼了),最不可忍的就是把波洛对富家女的批评给去掉了,这可是原作我相当喜欢的一段,干嘛导演,三个人谁都有错好吗

  • 石忆远 7小时前 :

    也太无聊了吧....两小时看了寂寞...一星给的是埃及美景,Armie Hammer演技太尬了,当然了,也被cancel了,最后尬一尬

  • 枝春柏 8小时前 :

    我第一次看电影被电影本身剧透了。。。痴情女对着波洛说自己演查米恩,富家女演克里奥特帕拉,这不明摆着已经告诉你凶手是谁了吗?正是女仆杀死了埃及艳后啊,无语,删掉这个桥段就好了

  • 督春娇 1小时前 :

    角色关系不清晰,节奏和气氛也没到点上,谋杀案就不明不白的开始和结束,全片充满KB自导自演波洛的表面与自负气。

  • 裘清雅 1小时前 :

    参加蜜月旅行的一群人,上坟的衣服倒是没少带,导演用心了。

  • 昭璟 9小时前 :

    什么想不开,非要演这个;我也是什么想不开,非要看!

  • 蓝孤兰 1小时前 :

    尼罗河上的惨案并不惨,鲁荣渔2682号惨案才是真的惨。

  • 镇秀敏 6小时前 :

    改编缺乏想象力,走心理流派,侦探人格分裂成为最终凶手多好。

  • 梅涵 0小时前 :

    拍得很好,下次不要拍了。谁要看老男人抛却心魔追寻第二春啊?

  • 栋鹏 5小时前 :

    请迪士尼速速放弃这个系列like how you gave up X-Men,莫要再当福斯的冤大头接盘侠。

  • 美雅 7小时前 :

    02/21 九洲IMAX 剧情整合过多,角色性格突然都不鲜明了,色情女作家塞勒姆太太多可爱啊,在那些代表生殖崇拜的公羊头斯芬克斯中雀跃,多美好的场景。然而全没了,卡纳克都没了,只剩阿布辛贝,女作家变女同志,我真不知道哪个更ZZ正确一些。波罗探长,为有色人种平权全靠你了!

  • 鄂芸姝 6小时前 :

    和第二部的《safe heaven》一样,提莫塔哈亚托一枝独秀,印尼cult之神,这导演必火

  • 聊梦槐 5小时前 :

    Jacqueline在电影里合着就是为爱疯狂的疯子,而Simon想拿钱,Linnet在电影前一小时的铺垫太长了,甚至开头画面才是最好看的,但是,Poirot被塑造成这样,就感情用事?缜密的推理成了他没分析出来,又有人死了,然后互相抱怨他还没找出凶手,Bouc死的时候附近都没人,侦探都能直接一起干掉。
