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".
用电影作为媒介来宣传黑命贵我没意见，但在此之前能不能先把故事讲通顺？千万不要学法国电影理念超前故事划水...
故事过于悬浮了，单纯看看J Lo还是很美的，但是Owen Wilson已经成了一个僵脸老头子，好心塞。
Corny but fun. J lo is soooooooo hot!!!!
整部影片过去了三分之一，“恐怖”才现身，快睡着了好吗？
近期恐怖片还剩《南巫》没看，看完温导作品后意外觉得本作整体还完整些。可惜表达主题上主次乱斗，作为增味剂的平权喧宾夺主，恐怖的部分细品也少些味道。食之无味，弃之可惜，确是道无特色的普通小菜。
黑白宿怨深，唯有血洗冤。
猴爪这回在视听上的全新尝试非常成功，对于镜子的运用比之前的隐形人巧妙太多，但是——本人对于全方位三百六十度无死角政治正确的忍耐程度也到底了，实在没法享受其中。
也许是我站着说话不腰疼，我真的看够黑哥（姐）们说老黑惨痛伤痕的电影了，倦了。此片艺术造诣不赖，摄影美术，氛围营造的很出色，声音设计也有对应特色，音乐更是配合续集基调用上复古音色合成器，整体视听都让我心生欢喜，就是这诉说欲与价值观跟扇巴掌一样狠狠糊在我脸上，我真的被扇累了。希望老黑们放过自己放过大家，痛苦大家都知道了记住了，但暴力对抗暴力真的是你族的出路吗？
剧情极度无聊 充斥着大量废话对话 精彩都在预告片里了 本片催眠效果极佳
命题作文没写好。编剧太不上心，零散的议题没整合成一个完整的故事。
被预告片骗了。其实jlo演她自己就很好，而片中人设是三十五岁、受青少年喜爱的流行女歌手，可是唱的歌完全过时，绞尽脑汁也想不出一个对应的女明星，人设立不住，导致观感很分裂，不如就演中年diva一切都说得通且更有看点。
离JLo的古早爱情浪漫电影《曼哈顿灰姑娘》正好20年，离惠特妮-休斯敦《保镖》30年，时光流逝，仍然相信Rom-Com里的爱情！
一直入不了戏，看到结尾我只想说请放过密恐症患者！
2个小时 爆米花热血爱情电影还挺认真的 剧情 等等等等 好莱坞真是想象不到的有钱啊
男主真的平平无奇，不过，用在这个故事上，就还行吧。能接受，小甜剧看着玩吧。
感觉这片就是为了被拿去翻拍成泰版，韩版，日版和中国版的，剧本和主演们都时光倒转二十年可能还有点新鲜劲。不过竟然有了负负得正的效果，这种糖水味的甜腻产品背后也是一种真实。
哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈我没想到真的这么离谱，笑死了，但是还是希望大家能好好拍romcom球球了//这么离谱的romcom摆脱莫多么多
美国笔仙深陷种族仇恨，一个有色人种都没死（然后一点都不吓人我都没被吓到🙄️
吓人 男主一直扒拉那个蜜蜂叮的地方 鸡皮疙瘩都起来了
这个美国都市传说有点寡淡。相比另一经典都市传说的瘦长鬼影可差太多了
