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".
小成本电影，节奏很快，故事简单但是还是比较紧张的，虽然几个反派一手好牌打得稀烂，不过高空作业真是好身手啊，6分。
国外版的“周末去爬山”，显然男主比秦昊更狠。
爽片，还算紧张，女生要学会保护自己。绝境中要坚强。
小镇黑警，垂直山崖，列车急停，左翼同盟，地铁刺客，美帝轴心，暴动追踪，手刃恶人；疲劳驾驶翻车神谕乱入脱欧政治阴谋，又或希腊穷游攻略，老派好看；片名/主角名算是致敬贝克特荒诞戏剧啥的吗？
但是看完emmmm很怪，营造的夏天的氛围不是很浓，有点凛冽感。没有桃片贯穿的哲学思辨，仅有男主文学性的一些表达，有点表面。整个演员们的演技好端着，一板一眼的僵硬，没有很生活化，看着很出戏。男主老师的演技倒是很不错。
男租客的尬笑……演技太拉了………整个电影都很混乱
影像很有风格，尤其是前篇山谷逃亡戏份，希腊自然风光搭配拉满的悬疑效果，很吸睛。可惜从进入城市的列车枪击开始就愈发离谱，最后Boss战甚至致敬了一波黑暗骑士？？就离谱
而且反派是纯坏啊，死土豪，欺朋友妻，手足相残，外遇，霸凌，qj，一个角色能融合这么多槽点真心看得难受
其实真的要杀那女生有一百种办法，一个个送人头不科学，另外攀岩悬崖求婚简直是作死现场教学。
生肉啃完，唯一能看的只有中间那段白天的攀爬戏，反派全程智商为负，明明可以慢慢耗却急不可耐接力作死，夜间特效太假，求婚那段没有感人只有搞笑
坎妹打酱油，车祸后就没她什么事了！男主一路狂奔，写实的风格把我推着走，一边觉得无聊但也想跟下去，终于到最后，大男主也能拯救别人，一路简直太可怜了！也因为太写实，导致看完一点感觉也没有！
你尿尿就尿尿，非得去悬崖边上，你不知道你朋友什么货色啊
攀岩追逐的场景设定有些新意，但剧情太单调、老套。
那是掺着绿的蓝，藏着谜的爱恋，雾气迷了眼，沸水冷寂，死水溢来便无所觉，陷进去——塘中的龟有了名为岸上人的瘾，水草缠着它，无所觉，陷进去。
本来3.5。看到最后帽男被他两三下哦不是一下束缚，摇了摇头骂了一句。
背景希腊政治运动一星，但前景这帮人在干啥？？？？反英雄片？？
生肉啃完，唯一能看的只有中间那段白天的攀爬戏，反派全程智商为负，明明可以慢慢耗却急不可耐接力作死，夜间特效太假，求婚那段没有感人只有搞笑
剧情都是为小黑安排好的，怎么打也打不死，但厄运连连，连美国大使馆的外交官都是黑化的，不过最后还是在汽车后备箱里面救出了孩子。我倒是，全片的亮点是开头十分钟小两口的爱之旅途。#20210923
水瓶掉落的时候，上面有一个大坑完全可以安全休息和喝水。这种逻辑硬伤扣分严重
