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".
没拍好的几幕和没写好的线索决定了这部片的上限。我对反派的塑造太失望了，一个过于脸谱化，一个过于符号化，还不如Barry王熙凤式的出场邪气四溢。问题是系列第一部（？）就推这么极端了，小丑登场要怎么推？要怎么写出恶的深度？这部反正真的没什么深度，只有形式。最后，RP are you ready for your porn career?
氛围感拉满，气质相当迷人，但又确实有点长，结局也不够耐人寻味。帕丁森帅得像个吸血鬼，保罗达诺像个诡计多端的0。
2024.10.4 修复版点映场。老电影不愧是老电影，一句多余废话、一个注水镜头都没有，吊打市面上某些注水电影电视剧。孙道临堪称那个年代少男少女们的梦中情人，哪怕时隔多年，他身着长袍出场依然能让身边的中老年观众们倒吸一口凉气。现在的小鲜肉，别说演得不如孙道临，长得也不如孙道临，审美在倒退。
《永不消逝的电波》有着中国传统红色电影最基本的特征——纯。人物的理想信念纯；个性和爱情纯；面貌也纯粹的高大上。但也许是女性导演的缘故，这种纯粹总含着脉脉的细腻，让人欣赏，让人神往，而不是虚伪和腻味。
这部电影最大的卖点应该是王心刚演了一个极其猥琐的反派。
我是真的不敢想象能够在商业影院且非电影节状态下看见孙道临先生出现在银幕上面，或许，电影行业真的在积极迭代呢。艺术价值并非出众，宣传意味让人踟蹰，但是不为人的意志为转移的意志价值，所谓时代漩涡之下对大是大非的再定义，那份甘愿那份执着那份凛然，让我敬佩。
视听体验极好，夜枪闪现、追逐戏等几个地方都极令人兴奋。结尾选择让老爷自提火炬，独占光明和黑暗，这其实不是很好的选择，但也不过不失吧。冷峻的、硬汉推理的风格铺陈到位，在影院直呼好耶😆
“就算大雨让这座城市颠倒，我会给你怀抱。”请各位观众入场欣赏三个小时的哥谭雷锋抗洪救灾的感人事迹。
Pure cinematic movie. 华纳终于想起来了DC is detective comic, not don’t care. 马导固然是稳定发挥，但是我要为这片的配乐和剪辑鼓掌. 没有一个镜头是浪费的，有几个镜头带着明显的宗教气息.五方和Zoe 的化学反应不错.另外这片的尺度真的是无限接近R ，为了躲避尺度跨越而制作的模糊和黑幕反而增加了惊悚感，上流
3.5/5，如果不是蝙蝠侠那过于中二的面罩和黑色眼影，真的和普通犯罪片没差了，超英的风格只在打斗和小孩戏份上得到展露
前2/3更精彩一点，后面观影疲劳了，3小时的内容其实可以剪掉最后一小时的。作为新蝙蝠侠系列的开端还算不错，猫女很漂亮，企鹅人和新阿福的演技很出色。期待看探案惊悚剧情的推理迷要降低期待。IMAX的视觉和声音效果很棒，BGM大赞，估计要循环好几天了。
节奏很舒缓很老派，不像是这个年代的电影更像有上个世纪的风范，但并不觉得很漫长，只是正反派都缺少一点魅力，神探狄仁杰辛苦了，为国为民的。
同。。。志。。。们。。。永。。。别。。。了。。。
累了一天匆匆赶到影院，极度暗黑的光影让我找不到几排几座
3.6的样子，因为环球影院的视听加分了😅还有风雪夜看完电影回家楼下玩雪，把喜鹊都给吵醒惊飞了，也是难得的春日体验。
A-. 仍有叙事模块组装的痕迹，但很准地抓住了蝙蝠侠身份认同的核心矛盾：他既是金字塔尖的既得利益者，也是为底层替天行道的游侠。谜语人成为与他一体两面的参照物（电影亦通过主观视点混淆与外观相似设计不断强化这一关系），而破案的过程正是迫使他临镜自照，完成对阶级原罪的审视和对义警行为的自反，最终在字面意义的“受洗”中打破“复仇”的恶性循环，经历从恐惧到希望的重生。技术层面无懈可击，小到每处视听符号，大到城市生态构造，都在服务人物的心理状态。一方面，它是高度风格化而迷影的：哥谭仿佛一团脱胎于《唐人街》《七宗罪》与《银翼杀手》的阴影；另一方面，它又以看似笨拙实则刻意局限的视角，完成了对现实主义传统的回归：我们所见的从不是一个叙事工具，而是一具有疼痛、踌躇与迷茫的血肉之躯。2022.3.13 Ivry
第一次在英国电影院看电影着实没经验，开始前放了半个小时广告，加上175分钟的电影，越到尾声越想快点结束赶紧回家。整个剧情节奏扁平，故事主线不复杂加上画面和背景音乐营造的压抑氛围让人有些昏昏欲睡，最后突出的中心思想是英雄的永不懈怠舍己为人和看不到长路尽头的孤独，3.5星吧。
解封后第一标记！（哭了，慢慢搬家中ing（片子虽然很好但是还是想看五方下海
另辟蹊径却又追本溯源的侦探动作片，而不是科幻片
看到大家评价不错去看了，好失望啊，随便给个三星吧。重要的打斗场面黑乎乎的，想对导演说，阳光下的罪恶最可怕。这个电影竟然演了三个钟头，希望能压缩到二小时。比较喜欢的角色：猫女和新市长。
