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".
9/10
3.带牙套的女武神奔向瓦尔哈拉
有一点没想到这是艾格斯的片子 依旧是风格感十足的影调 但故事稍微无聊了一点点 画面和声音层面的质感让我很想在电影院看一遍//啊 什么时候能进电影院看影展啊
真北欧王子复仇记，最原始的那种野性还是震撼到我了，血腥暴力镜头绝对是近年来有的一拼，最后一场E大在火山口的打戏拍得实在太美太壮观，Anya全程都美得发光，真适合演北欧人。口音重得我怀疑人生，E大几乎都在咆哮，因为听不懂反到有一种诗意，虽然都是大场面，但莎剧的舞台感还是很强。但我不喜欢参杂在里面的宗教和神灵的元素，可能我还是不太喜欢Robert Eggers想把一个莎剧拍成反传统的类型片。
说实话这种欧美古装剧看多了就觉得食之无味弃之可惜，A大的身材还是很好的，全程看肌肉
剧情简单粗暴，被命运玩弄的王子悲壮的复仇一生，除了神神叨叨那些场面令人有点无语，总体还是很nice的，兼具了北欧风情，俊男靓女以及扎导风格画面质感和美感…毕竟2022年，还能看到让人如此视觉满足的片子，弥足珍贵！
当痛觉消失，当手术刀切入身体成为一种获得快感的途径，当人类可以随意操纵自己的器官
我从未见过这么艺术的史诗片。一开始我是冲着《冰海战记》真人版看的，结果开场没多久错认为这是醇厚的A24暴力神棍片，结尾回想确实是哈姆雷特原型。看到导演我明白了，他的片子后劲都有点大。以及冰岛演员演冰岛人好合适啊！尤其是Björk哈哈哈哈！
很美 故事欠点火候但总体想法很好 （看完这部对K脱粉了 演技好差 做作的要死
倾听一位王子对复仇的渴求，
各种鬼吼鬼叫，每个人都很原始野性，王子复仇记，动作戏很暴力血腥，剧情神神叨叨，磨磨唧唧，感觉像是在拍话剧
哈姆雷特这套已经看腻了，亮点只有极具个人风格的视听，以及安雅的脸蛋和屁股。艾格斯趋于商业的一部，希望后续给力一点。
歌剧不像歌剧，剧情却又稀烂的套壳北欧哈姆雷特记，完全没有任何的改编，有的只是自以为是的大段唠叨。妮可·基德曼是唯一吸引人的看点，无奈整体拉垮，独木难支
3.5。顯然，當大銀幕觀眾因為沈浸感接納了完全由神話儀式建立的劇作節奏後，本片絕對沒有在質量上過於粗疏。只是在艾格斯個人維度，其中不僅大量穿插前作元素作為補丁，吵鬧的台詞削弱了各類儀式的嚴肅性。更糟糕的是，此種對於復仇神話毫無思辨的一比一搬演，似乎更加坐實了他在炫目技法之下內核空洞的可能性。希望他別再接這麼大製作了。
One should be wise enough to be a fool.
人类进化期的冲突
兴冲冲地带朋友去看结果把本柯南伯格粉都看无语了
寓言小故事
北欧版“王子复仇记”，不过没什么国王、王子，完全就是村长家恩仇记。冲着强大的卡司多打一分，影片充溢黑暗风，画面暴力、野蛮、血腥，令人极度不适。故事也让人错愕、纠结，父子、母子、情人关系都不像人们此前想象的那样，感觉一切都建立在错误的基础上，结尾干脆是同归于尽，都死个痛快。
小k演技真不行，现在眼袋还越来越重了
