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".
高官头头是同性恋就要灭口一起玩的人，深柜即崆峒，男主小民兵最后是同情还是真的爱了呢，对象小男生挺帅的，那个年代说不清道不明，没有人性。
这个国家一半的人都有秘密，在铁幕背后凝望铁幕
冷峻而压抑，看得瑟瑟发抖，孩子你应该有更好的生活，远离杀戮。
还是恐同即深柜定律。另外没想到电影还可以。
主人公从置身事外到深陷其中，以及对于内部上层隐私秘密的侦破，父权压制与情感错位内在张力挺好，就很黑色电影影像基调那味儿，但蛇蝎美人置换成了男性影像。可以开发系列电视剧了，绝对不差。
很好！要是男主不那么憨就好了，感觉他从头到尾都一个样我谔谔，为什么男主要留那个胡子，很奇怪而且很显老
这叙事节奏和演员演技，要了老命了（回味半小时后四星改五星）
波兰片极少看，这部意外的不错👍节奏很好，有肉有色，诚意满满，男主的长睫毛真的很有feel，在宗教信仰普及的国家，cool确实很难，相交之下倒是天朝更宽容——最多腹诽，哪里有拳打脚踢直接暴力的？3星
ps 跟踪的戏太假了，真是明目张胆的追踪，作为一个警察一点点的反侦察意识怎么会没有..
有真实历史背景做支撑，拍摄精良。悬疑节奏刚刚好，感情线发展也令人信服。好片。
②楚楚可怜的可爱小卷毛主动勾引！！！男主被一个吻就掰弯后，还不相信哈哈哈，跟女主的亲吻像是证明，下位时很冷漠笑死了，立马让我想起来一个动图，俩男床戏挺好看的dddd！
剧本很扎实，技巧很专业，传统故事片，可以开发一个长剧了。
关于《老亨利》:时间短，节奏慢，没有黑人，没有女性，一部古典纯粹的西部电影。游侠变为农民，历史藏进衣柜;警长转行悍匪，罪孽烙下疤痕。可惜历史无法掩盖，罪孽难以洗白。低头本可相安无事，救人反惹血光之灾。短刀割腕，利斧破胸，拔枪射穿面颊，抬手击落飞刀。世界变了，但你大爷永远还是你大爷。
可能就好在，人物身份的铺垫，人物形象的反差，90分钟刚刚好，剧情紧凑，没有多余的镜头。
不知道为什么，或许带着真实历史事件的滤镜的缘故，观看的过程多了份肃穆和压迫感。主要是悬疑风的剧情安排，披着时代的背景，讲述LGBT群体被压迫的故事。男二这个角色无论是人物的设定还是演员的选择真的特别出彩，水汪汪无辜的大眼睛真的很打动人心，我摊牌了，这片一大半的爱都是因为他。
还行吧，比较复古的西部牛仔，不是很精彩，故事还是不错的。
镜头色调很喜欢，但是剧情抛开背景，真让人恶心
最后令人遐想的结局，一切都不言自明
一部剧塞进去的内容有点儿多，胜在故事线完整。科普了一下风信子行动，着实有些吓人
