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".
非常小的一个故事，场景也非常的少，人物也不多，但是一个完整的故事。狙击手好帅哦。
美军在这里也终于成为了正常人 成为了有压迫感旗鼓相当的对手
简短的一场战斗，这让老谋子更好地将它描述出来，看惯了大场面轰炸的战争，换换口味也不错
三星半，应该还是张艺谋女儿的作品，有很多不成熟地方
老谋子渐渐会拍商业片，但还有点问题。最明显两点：那个子弹的特效太假，以及志愿军战士一口大白牙。
北野武传记电影，早年间在浅草从师喜剧演员深见千三郎，电影用大量的篇幅来重现这一时期的北野武，后来自己单飞表演漫才并崭露头角就一笔带过，后来的事情我们都知道了，北野武成了蜚声国际的大导演和艺术家。最后一个长镜头老年北野武穿梭于自己年轻时打拼的法兰西卡座，师傅师娘已经不在人世，功成名就的他对昨日的一切都历历在目，短剧的踢踏舞鞋，同是天涯沦落人的女同事也已结婚生子，漫才和短剧的生涯也画上了句号。铃木阿姨好美！第一次去日本的时候我就住在浅草，借用友邻的一句话：“雷门的灯笼，仲见世的人流，小巷中忽明忽暗的街灯，和那家屹立至今的“捕鲸船”，就是这一切最好的见证。”【NOGRP】
喜欢师徒俩用搞笑的方式来调侃操蛋生活的方式，有点鼓舞人。
3、喜欢北野武，“虽然艰难，但我还是要过那种滚烫的人生！”“才有一次的人生，给我拿出干劲来啊你！”
并没有什么铺垫，上来就直接惨烈的遭遇战。节奏很好，简单粗暴，爽快利落，章宇仍旧帅！战争真的是魔鬼，但也是人类放出来的魔鬼。
张艺谋是好导演，可也算是戴着镣铐跳舞了。如果不是受困于国内文化影视业的管制，这不能拍那不能拍，他能给华语电影带来更多
喜欢这种场景单一却又把每个人物刻画很深刻，时长也刚刚好，氛围也营造的恰到好处
确实是近些年看过最好的国产战争片了。就那么一个山坡发生的故事，惊心动魄。好几次剧情反套路，看得揪心。最后也真切感受了战争的残酷以及和平的不易。章宇和年轻演员们演的真好！
春节档口碑最佳 无可争议
最后的红色高跟鞋call back我差点哭了。之前看又吉直树的「火花」那本书，说是这个行业永远都是师傅请客。所以电影里也几次有这个桥段，他师傅看到两人练习晚回家，于是穿好自己的衣服，假装偶遇，请他们吃饭。还有最后，虽然是收下了小武的那笔奖金，送他去坐出租车的时候还是给他钱付车费，然后说如果有零钱，拿回来还我，是说再回来看看我的意思。
三星半，应该还是张艺谋女儿的作品，有很多不成熟地方
个人觉得还挺好看的啊，无尿点，又是悬崖之上那种感觉，只是后面徐大永成长的有点太快了，突然就变机灵了
同为抗美援朝题材，与《长津湖》的大场面不同，张导主要着力于小，掐头去尾大约70分钟时间全部展现这场与美军的狙击战，悬念重生高潮迭起，张导整体的节奏把握到位，把几位新演员的表演调教的真实可信，张译首尾现身，章宇演的尤其出彩，几场戏处理的感人肺腑，张艺谋导演以72岁高龄再次证明，他还是中国最优秀的导演之一。
以小见大的故事，深深感受到当年战争的惨烈，有这样一部电影在贺岁档挺棒的，老谋子的出品很稳，章宇的表演很棒。
轻、快、简、明（但是——面瘫是在其时年47岁的摩托车祸导致，并非片中自打年轻就有；至于僵硬的特效化妆，堪称诡异）。
为国师贡献6元。中途美狙击手开坦克打机关枪的操作我是不太懂。国师前面的操作都不错，但是跟《悬崖之上》一个问题，就是后半段摧枯拉朽，要么是班长继承人开挂一般一个人干掉所有敌人还完成任务，要么是于和伟大杀四方……前面人的牺牲看起来就那么轻易了。
