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".
身后拖着大肉片，
氛围烘托不错。奈何有恶魔的片没有神父，铁定搞不过呀
个人认为，这部片子的逻辑其实一开始就跑没了，因为任何一个正常家庭，面对一个急于出售、价格低廉、装修诡异的大宅子，不都应该采取惟恐避而不及的态度吗？看似坚定的母亲，其实对孩子的成长缺乏关心，从她推出的方案来看，她早已将青少年当作流量的象征，甚至根本不考虑这些方案带给青少年的伤害。直到女儿出事，她才意识到就在她操纵着别人时，一股神秘力量也在操纵着她的家人。看似善良的父母，实际上也十分自私自利，而一直被暴凌的女儿才是全片中最无辜的存在。真实映照了“地狱在人间”的主题，也显示出了面对强大的邪恶力量，所谓的挣扎也只是虚妄。
垃圾电影，完全没有恐怖氛围，一点都不吓人。故事线牛头不对马嘴，也没交代怪物的来源。
女主演技真心不错，尤其最后几分钟，在抖音上看到怪物形象找资源看的，但是这戏份也太少了叭！网飞不应该缺资金吧？！
比较失望 是冲着最后怪物的造型来的 但是前面的剧情太过冗长且无比拖沓 两星是给最后出现的怪物造型的 前面的剧情不看也罢，建议直接跳到一小时9分开始看
本来想给2星，结局大家都巴扎黑了那就给三星吧
蛮精彩的 女主太天真了 最后大概黑化了……
低成本老套路，除了最后一幕冥界的场面和最后一扇门打开时的绝望反转。但，总体很牵强，逻辑难自洽。
蛮精彩的 女主太天真了 最后大概黑化了……
好无聊的惊悚片，一点也不恐怖，前面太冗长了，堪称无聊，后三分之一还可以，如果不是极度无聊，可以不看
小男孩演的有点呆？可能就是人设吧，但是我不是很喜欢，但是总的还是不错的 支持！！！！
底层偷渡客住廉价鬼屋惨遭献祭而后反杀的过程～怪物的造型有点四不像呀～成为下一代献祭者受益人也终于成了屠龙的说～
不错，可以看。里面还涉及了薛定谔的猫的理论，挺不错的，分有点给低了
在恐怖气氛营造的份上给两星。
嗯，女儿莫名失踪，当爹的就是不愿意相信老婆说的话，是从来不看恐怖电影恐怖小说吗？一点想象力都没有…好容易信了，战斗力五渣…真是拖后腿又坑队友
还凑活，能看下去，有少部分惊吓点，不过没太看懂具体在讲什么
怪物造型挺好的，我觉得还有点儿sexy~是我审美扭曲么……想象力也很赞，就是女主也太丧了吧？！女性题材？不是说这怪物只吃老人小孩女人么……怎么男房东也照吃不误了？！而且女主破幻象，战胜怪物之后，怪物是个小骷髅是几个意思？！扑棱蛾子也不长那样啊？……很多迷思……不过可能因为想不通所以觉得还挺好看的吧……
房子不错可以值回一分，女儿眼袋法令纹看起来像30大几比她妈都老扣一分，儿子从头到尾面无表情演的大概是个木头人扣一分，数字家女儿明知鬼宅还出售，心太黑了扣一分，开始整数学，还没说清楚，又莫名其妙万人大数数，接着鬼打墙，这都哪跟哪，细碎的逻辑，胡拼乱凑必须扣两分，其他各种不合理，女主异常清醒，一家人儿子都快丢三回了还异常心大，片荒都别看，有这功夫给蚂蚁洞浇浇水都行，看着片子纯属浪费时间
没有过6分，还是说明豆瓣装逼🐶太多
