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".
作为下饭剧，还看的过去。这明显是个番外剧，号称网大有点勉强
Sam, you are not a joke. This movie is a joke.
气氛挺到位，但是老土是真的老土，看到后面我的灵魂已然麻木，这么大个科技怪物，只要一个炸弹就能解决一切，然后地球就给保下来了。中间还穿插着各种令人抠脚的爱情兄弟情父子情，并且对这些感情的诠释跟几十年前相比毫无进步。台词是真的烂，为什么能有这么多美国冷笑话，导致看的时候总感觉有乌鸦从我头上飞过。
好久没看过这种爆米花爽片了，说实话，不带脑子还是能看的！虽然故事鬼扯，情节潦草，剪辑稀烂，人物模板化，世界观毫无科学支撑，纯粹拍脑袋瞎想，都不能叫科幻，只能叫奇幻。
可以说每个剧情点都蠢到极点，无法想象编剧是在什么状态下写的这个本子
简而言之，平庸之作。N
高阶文明总归难逃AI的反噬，片头让人想起宇宙的孤者旅行者1号，以生灵之尺度博宇宙之浩瀚，无尽无息...
全程快进键十分钟看完都嫌它浪费我时间。
爆米花特效大片，设定还算有趣。女朋友不让我吃爆米花，哭了。
可能是因为已经有心理预期了，所以没觉得电影特别烂。其实类似剧情我曾经设想过~>_<~
就，又是流水线行活，角色设计单薄到无语，煽情就是告诉你该哭了，地球部分很没必要，尤其那两个主角的一众家属们，属实是纸片工具人，一点作用也无。倒是月球内部那个构造很cool，想探究。
完全是只能在影院边吃爆米花边喝可乐看的视效无脑片，影片5分钟以后就逐渐离谱；但某种意义上来说，畸形市场下的高投入b级片说不定也会成为像捉鬼敢死队那样的一代人奇观。
剧情逻辑差到了一个前无古人的境界，是不是后无来者很不好说，江山代有才人出啊，你有充足的理由相信一个五年级的小学生会写的更好，甚至再大胆一点，一条狗扒拉几下出来的玩意都会更赏心悦目一些。
虽然有点俗套，但还是可以当爆米花电影一看吧……
难看到能一起看完两小时的人都可以称之为难友！就是，一个反向爽片还用40分钟交代剧情铺垫前史，以为自己是「驾驶我的车」啊，你配吗？上天和逃难两条故事线完全劈叉，感觉像看了三四五个网大随机剪一起。这种规模投资的电影应该剧本套路很成熟了，怎么还能把初级错误全犯了一遍……视听特效也并不震撼，听到Ai攻击人类时候简直都要把我土笑了。
No.2455 随随便便就把地球给拯救了，通关太简单了些。最后为了凑一个合家欢，把“邪恶”的军方给干掉了，把有钱的后爸干掉了，把没有家庭、母亲认不得的“失败者”干掉了。
雷克萨斯强行植入。
电影院打发时间挺好的呀（纪念2022年五一长假
剧情非常的old了，不仔细逻辑推敲还是挺好看的。
“5、4……直接飞吧”看得出艾默里奇想要突破商业电影的剧情模式还是动了一些小心思，但是固化的故事情节还是让人有疲倦感，幸好还有视觉效果撑住场面，而艾默里奇电影中对科技滥用的担忧的表现，进一步升华了主题！
