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".
怀念那个血肉横飞变态怪胎满嘴粗话满屏奶子屁股的录像带年代
其实拍得挺精致的，服化道都在线，拍摄手法也很有美感，但就是感觉很不对劲。森田望智怪怪的，把叶子演得太柔了。原著的感情也被诠释得很直白，本应欲言又止，这里却将大量的内心活动放进台词里，通过角色直接讲出来。毕竟原著离现在有一定时间的距离，如果不能很好地抓住其中淡淡的哀思，会让整部作品变得很狗血。我觉得台词可以少一点，在视觉语言上多下点功夫。
比较有特色的恐怖片，有些镜头还是很不错的。关于衰老身体，欲望的失衡导致的杀戮，比起那些毫无理由的血腥暴力B级片，这部营造出来的时代感已经好很多了。对老妇人杀人后在车前独舞的那段戏印象比较深。
估计会让很多人生理不适，但我觉得这是1970年代SnuffFilm的回魂之作，短小精悍、简单粗暴，是继《爱之女巫》之后，做的最好的一部复古亚类型。反派老夫妻几乎是格兰特·伍德那幅经典画作《美国哥特式》的挪用（尤其老太太抡起叉子），电影主要用《德州电锯杀人狂》搭骨架，同时代几部经典片元素去添皮肉：《人食人实录》（摄制组拍片）+《唾弃我的坟墓》（裸泳）+《活死人黎明》（电视媒介）+《深喉》（色情片）为辅，多种元素融成一套自己的东西，匹配剪辑/分屏玩得有巧劲儿，却不卖弄，最后还能对反派角色报以一定的同情，在老年人对青春肉体的渴望上又与《万能钥匙》不谋而合。
非典型爱恨情仇 世间万物都是徒劳 却不愿就此沉沦
叶子和行男是一对，啊原来不是，啊难道是喜欢驹子，啊难道竟然是为了驹子
就知道不好拍 果然温开水 完成任务一样极速地交代 让人想问 你们在干什么？
论血腥不血腥，论恐怖不恐怖，论深度没深度，这片拍的不伦不类
感觉好像在看一部悬疑片，一直在探究他们四人之间的情感关系，想找书来看了…白雪皑皑，和服女子的画面，虽然带着徒劳的无奈愁绪，却还是美的
没看懂的电影，我的水平好低Σ(ŎдŎ|||)ﾉﾉ
3.5-吧 有点boring 我很喜欢的点是有很多小说独白式的片段 感觉比较像小说演绎的这种风格 但是感觉益生菌有点出戏
以19世纪为背景，“Moeyo Ken”紧跟着Hijikata的生活。他是新仙谷副司令员，与明治维新作战
so fucking hard core and disturbing. the editing is creative while the sexual part is a turn-off.
租别人的房子拍AV不给屋主说，恶心。想到BBC纪录片办性派对的有一个说借朋友的豪宅办派对（不过那个屋主好像知道 但也很恶心）。老太太很能鲨，有劲。其实挺侮辱老年人的，不过现实里女性老年人挥这么有劲倒是好事。最恶心的莫过于摄影师，特别会PUA他女友，双标加伪善。摄影师女后面瞎说话乱跑简直是作死必备。斧头劈错门板方向简直着急，闪灵镜头2.制片人和摄影师在屋外对话那段，很真实再现了，他们内心瞧不起女人，又离不开女人，又瞧不起她们的心态。宗教。邪教。过于强调性。女演员是如何做到演毒虫就很像的，妆也像。女主和老太太是一个人。老年妆用力过猛了。复古风格。黑色公鸡和牛群，水里游泳，鳄鱼构图。鳄鱼是二位养的宠物么。洁癖看到那水反正是不会去游的，只想到寄生虫。配乐
天啊！不知道原著是不是跟电影一样？连故事都讲不清楚。就这都能得诺贝尔文学奖？？？
书很多年前看的，剧情太散了，导致一直回忆不起来发生了什么，电影剧情更易懂，终于全回忆起来了。
没有看过原著，也没有看过其他的电影版本，单从这部电影来说，无法让人感受到雪国的魅力。奈绪的古装很美，表演很有感染力，但高桥一生从头到尾板着一张苦瓜脸，毫无魅力可言
上个月看森田望智豆瓣主页看到这部片。 奈绪和奈奈绪 还以为是同一个人呢，选角不错，她穿和服演艺妓很传神 ，有点纯欲制服诱惑 NHK BS4K 日式味道满满，2014年1月 还没放寒假 期末考试前某天下午下课后 去兴隆书社买了川端康成的伊豆的舞女，因此晚自习还迟到了，
A24出品，经典双重文本戏中戏，伏笔巨多~视听也很有设计，唱歌同框剪辑那段还有全片吟唱呻吟交替的音响真的绝了...就是第三幕的暴力稍显颓势，节奏稍差且爽感略低于期望，好在结局成功拉回，年度必看！（虽然本来期待的屠杀拍进成人片并没有出现，但还是蛮想看成片的ww
