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".
好像奇异博士最近在漫威老是打酱油，甚至在自己主演的电影里也是。。。
没什么意思，就是舞台版MV。6分钟，弃剧。
温子仁的创意总是很惊人，一个以实体方式寄生于女主身体内的反派，比纯精神分裂来的更令人毛骨悚然。除了部分剧情用了恐怖片老套路，总体气氛挺到位的。结尾就让我有点想不通了，女主怎么就突然觉醒了？我还以为女主要跟怪物同归于尽呢。另外最近的两部温氏恐怖片都已经走上“气氛+解谜”模式了，真正的超自然很少了
温子仁恐怖片又开始走血腥虐杀路线了，毕竟是拍过速激、海王的，动作戏拍得超帅气，杀得过瘾。一定要看完整版。
预告片下头，老毛子特效加 loki 的世界观，一点也不恐怖
低开高走但结尾又拉低评价，精华是揭底后的血腥砍杀，视觉和心理上的恐怖都到位，底子还是有温氏因果报应元素在里面的，把畸形共生这一点夸张放大，算是精神分裂类型恐怖电影里的另辟蹊径，但是电磁感应、力大无穷、格斗点加满、用爱打败boss这些俗套的点实在是减分，本可以编得更巧妙一点。
中规中矩的爆米花电影，类型融合的想法做出来看上去就是想让人睡着。
温子仁这次选的方向。。。不是纯灵异了。。如果不是纯灵异呢。。。这个就有太多东西经不起推敲了。。电影好的地方自然也有。构图摄影一脉相承的温子仁风格。很棒
女主角选的太棒了，不管剧情如何这样的颜值都能打九分了，再加上出乎人意料的剧情发展，只能打满分了。
第四阶段就是看女巫，奇异博士，王，蜘蛛侠四个人比赛谁捅的娄子大呗？？
确实有BUG但还算有理有据，恐怖倒也说不上多吓人，但好在没有靠着一惊一乍的jump scare故意搞人心态，靠悬念制造点惊悚效果还是不错的，靠老录相带揭露真相的那一段我太喜欢了。全程节奏在线，演员颜值在线，算是年内不错的恐怖片了。
莫名其妙的开头，各个宇宙的怪物怎么来的，美国女孩又是怎么被发现她的超能力的，反正剧情就这样很凌乱的展开了。
我出息了！我没开好运来看完了未删节版！孩子长大了！非常喜欢这种血腥的惊悚片~
剧情太赶了，毕竟换导演+改剧本+补拍，让我想到了17年的《正义联盟》，希望有一天能看到导演剪辑版吧。
★★★☆
温子仁又回到了得心应手的领域，故事的反转想必很多人猜到了，但它依然是个很绝的点子，这概念这气质这音乐，仿佛电锯惊魂和死寂路子的延续。温子仁善于在恐怖片里结合不同类型元素，让吓人的段落不落俗套，于是就看到了隔空有眼，猛鬼跑酷，猛鬼疾速追杀，这种酣虐的段落。其实脑内的段落还可以再玩转一番。按照温子仁的标准，这个故事的主题和寓意有些流于表面了，但按照一般恐怖片的要求，温子仁还是可以傲视的。
1. 建议只看后1/3或删减部分。
7分。恐怖片里还算不错，双头设计不算新鲜，但放在这里也还算合适。但其实如果拍成双重人格，整个故事也能说得通。电影质感不错，特别是加百列的设计，很有90年代经典B级片的风格。但也就这样了，如果没有温子仁的名头，不过就是部普通的恐怖片罢了。至于所谓正版盗版，我的看法是这种片子就不该引进，知道国内没有分级还要去引进这种片子，被删减了还到处喊冤枉，这本身就是有问题的。什么可以进大众圈子，什么小众里看看就得了，完全没有必要去调整国家得尺度，这才是长久得生存之道。
和交响乐团合作的therefore i am封神了
沉浸式凶案现场，体验感机动杀人，血色在横移与纵深的空间内延展，谜底在插叙和虚实的时态中闪现。共度过怀胎十月的光景，也无法将离合的抉择更改。分享同一副身体的血肉，却不能让彼此的悲欢相通。身披黑袍不是驱散恨意的使者，扮成公主则有义务守护童话的结局。
