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".
年度第一神片，这辈子还没看过这么奇葩的电影，妥妥的印度版战狼，据说已经排到影史前五的欢迎程度，即便所有设置都完全不合理，甚至浮夸到极致，但是三个小时就是能让你看的血脉喷张，中场休息时和仅有的几个法国观众面面相觑，大家都被印度人的强大自恋尬到了
我爸一边看得带劲儿，一边说：“呀，抗日神剧都不敢这么拍”
载歌载舞，3个小时。打戏慢镜头。知道我看的多尬吗？还有玛利亚是干啥子被看中了？搞不懂。脸盲一直分不清谁是谁
妻子是唐顿庄园里的三小姐，看到结尾的时候，Paul和Hugh也意识到单纯刺杀和不签条约已经无法阻止战争，所以两人都心有灵犀继续战斗，只是在各自的战线上
感觉主角那些鸡毛蒜皮的故事完全可以删掉，直接聚焦于慕尼黑谈判会更好。既想表达小人物在战争阴云下的焦虑，又植入到宏大事件现场，这样的处理很四不像。
印度抗日神剧之喋血双雄，彰显印度大国自信，强国基因，展现如印度舞蹈那样与众不同的想象力。
虚构的历史、神话传奇般语调的情节剧式故事、舞蹈式的格斗动作，托莱坞泽米吉斯内外都“印学为体，西学为用”的《战狼》。浮夸但精彩的动作编排和场面设计基本上秒杀了除雷米版《蜘蛛侠》（严格来说其实并不属于漫威）之外的全部漫威电影，也许现在只有印度电影还能像这样一次次重新定义主流商业片的“奇观”吧。
美术和舞蹈设计部分非常出彩，几段转场也很惊艳。看的印度人民一本正经的开挂，确实能给人带来不少乐趣。感谢印度神片给我带来三个小时快乐。
<大大大>大制作 大场面 大阵容。激情四射。数次 头皮发麻 鸡皮疙瘩 骤起。在印度的英国人，可以平替抗战时期在中国的日本人。
印度版“手撕鬼子”。对于这个评价，一开始我是持怀疑态度的，看到后面真的就是战神下凡。两个超级战士因为偶然的机会成为朋友。一个要救妹妹，一个要达成壮志，俩人因为目的不一样，从相爱走到相杀。但毕竟爱得太深，之前还用皮鞭抽对方，之后就愿意用自己的生命去救对方。我觉得这段真的很像《大话西游》里的青霞和紫霞。最后俩人消除了隔阂，一起联手把英国人灭了。两个超级战士大战英国总督，说是印度版的“美国队长”也不过，反正就是无脑爽片。两个男人的情谊描写加上力量十足的舞蹈，可以无脑一看。
英国人就是这样的厚颜无耻，一个墩克尔克大溃败能让他们拍成常凯申式的战略“转进”，一个对希特勒无限让步出卖捷克利益的慕尼黑协定居然被它说为和平争取了时间，为最终战胜纳粹德国做好了准备。可事实是什么？要不是希特勒脑袋抽筋儿去进攻苏联，要不是美国看到有利可图重演一战的“参战”剧情，英国人早就跟法国人一起学习德语了。
剧情节奏很慢的电影，又没有很享受的过程，没有看下去的欲望。粗略看解说，简单来说就是失去了阻止二战的一次绝佳机会，但历史不能够重演了，讲这些有多大意义呢？做好当下为和平付出的努力，维护当下世界和平才是正道。
挺好看，给了绥靖政策一个新的解读。不过希特勒一步一步通过选举成为民族社会主义德国工人党党魁，再通过选举成为国家元首，说明那段时间德国民族主义之高涨。细思极恐。
看完后觉得印度阅兵也不是那么荒谬了，毕竟电影里两个人就有一台坦克的战斗力……
好（嗑/）感人的Bromance。几层故事都挺好的，侵略者的嘴脸有多丑恶，原著民的压迫、挣扎、反抗，故事内容饱满、情感充沛，水火相容、双剑合璧——印度战狼。超强的主角光环和超夸张的手法也成了一种风格，哈哈哈哈，倍速看比较好。本来想说歌舞和剧情结合的挺好，结果结尾来了段跳脱剧情之外的纯纯的歌舞//不是同期声
学生时代关于张伯伦的对应词就是绥靖，后来看丘吉尔自传，张伯伦并不是一无是处。这部片子从另一个角度展现了那段历史和相关当事人，蛮有意思…
这种历史的厚度感，希特勒在慕尼黑的车上受万人膜拜的场景有一丝感慨。毕竟曾经认真读过这段历史。我对两个男主的立场和想法都并不太看重……因为其实都是历史的洪流，德国战败，英国被摧毁的不成样子。历史的真伪就是交给后人去改造的，因为任何事都是人组成后的结果。世界从不属于弱者，永远是这样。
但選擇此時拍此片，導演的信息已經傳達出來了。
I'll never give up Germany.
有愿意用生命对抗强权的年轻人是一个国家的幸运，结果如何不重要。这里也有拳师，万万没想到。
