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".
下次去动物园挑编剧的时候认真点，人员配置和成片效果就是用百万榨汁机捣蒜。
掠夺 欺瞒 抢劫 杀戮 直到某天
装腔作势，儿戏胡闹，去俄国那段剧情尴尬弱智到不行，乌鸡鲅鱼
这个系列一直讲绅士范儿、贵族范儿，但这玩意儿是一丁点都没办法往前追溯的，这部「缘起」终于亮出来了底牌——出生富贵者对世界的责任感，真是封建糟粕整一套。
故事太胡来了。有三个镜头印象挺深，一个是战场的降格镜头，一个是儿子上战场的野战戏，还有一个是最后决斗时候剑上的主观镜头。
3.5， 从情感故事层面我觉得做得很好，尤其中间儿子牺牲那个桥段的设计，但却忘了这个系列最初吸引人的元素，不就是各种绅士服装带的小装备么，这一集啥也没有，一本正经讲故事，但那几个角色都没有足够的魅力啊。btw，山羊峭壁那场逃生戏还不错。
再来说说这无聊的剧情，前面一小时多讲儿子如何作死，后面父亲开挂捣毁组织头目，飞机坠毁，降落伞，山崖塌陷，踩着山羊直接跳上去，实际上还有很多没解决的反派，是为了引出续集，前传续集估计不会拍了，所以有些内容没必要连接，难不成这些人都被复活了？
Stupid woke shit. 铁拳无敌孙中山
大制作的B级片。从拉斯普京到儿子得勋章是全局最佳，拉斯普京段落充斥着性暗示让人笑翻。全局最搞笑台词当属伏地魔深情的说：“每当我杀一个人，我的灵魂就少了一片”。导演估计是罗琳资深粉
有点儿英伦《鹿鼎记》的意思，在真实历史事件中加入虚构剧情。冬宫里的打斗设计令人印象深刻，主角儿子的死亡作为反类型也做的非常彻底。
我就是来看Aaron Taylor Johnson的，我要是知道他只有三场戏，我就直接看YouTube clips剪辑版了。
毕竟是历史，这么扯就显得不真实了。拉斯普丁那段很精彩，原来just dance同款了，怪不得巨累巨魔性哈哈哈
虚伪无耻的英国贵族史观，恶心下作的抹黑方式，拉斯普京的芭蕾剑法是唯一的亮点，其他都是问题，都是漏洞的设定、毫无波澜的剧情、装腔作势的台词标签化的角色，以及钢铁版生硬的转折，我猜到了年轻贵族会死，没想到是这个死法。
俄罗斯传统舞蹈融入动作戏是最精彩的部分了。其他看着提不起劲。
跟系列前两部相比，太平庸了，还有魔改历史的问题，改得相当无聊
不开玩笑，为了让这电影稍微贴合一下王牌特工这个名字，我把电脑调成了暖色。
好吧 本来我也以为小鲜肉才是主角 带着主角光环穿过双方的枪林弹雨后 竟然被自己人误杀领了便当
连007这种系列都几小心触碰的政治题材
这片有做成新时代007的野心却没伊恩弗莱明的原著在所处时代的开创性，这个系列也和速激系列一样，越走越远，就算是拉尔夫费因斯也托不起这扯几把蛋的剧情，开局先死老婆折条腿，然后死好友，最后死儿子，然后中年奋起打破政治阴谋成立金士曼总部，不过不吹不黑有一说一里面三场动作戏可圈可点，分别是，群殴俄国神棍，战场拯救我方探子（钢锯岭），和最后的决斗（还是钢锯岭）。但是吧，里面又充满了让人忍俊不禁的黑色幽默：冰水疗腿，友军TK，绅士击剑，山羊的复仇。
最近看了太多这种爆米花shit.这改写历史黑化列宁实在是。。。
