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".
只有华人才会为了孩子的幸福牺牲一家人的团聚，结果培养出只顾自己的孩子，从而产生各种家庭矛盾。应该学学西方人把父母关系放在家庭关系的第一位。
来自豆瓣众友的肯定，这是春节档最佳（让我们吹爆动作戏
枕刀歌13=特别篇上：时间（当年的真相。“千历三十八年”，那就是万历年间呗，时空背景明确了。）
好喜欢红娘，希望出单独剧场版。
一个中式家庭故事一般吵架越多哭得越多越苍白
好好的一部电影，朴素简单，情感到位，评论却阴阳怪气的…
腾讯的画质太差太差了。
TV版中的“反派”，电影版中的主角。没有讲正邪，没有非黑即白，而是在说世间，说江湖。剧本绝对不差，每个角色都能完全立住，就算西门仁也是有自己的世界观，不对但也没错。人物的丰满在整个《枕刀歌》中做的非常出色，包括TV的各种回溯。至于画风，为了凌厉的打斗把人物做成略带水墨的简笔，完全可以接受，留意背景的精致就明白是有意为之。动作的分镜和招式是我看过的武侠中最好的，是纯武侠。
动作行云流水，景色细腻用心，虽剧情简单，但是可以进入国漫巅峰一列了
不仅打斗够燃，人物塑造也很有趣，龙顺这个有点憨的角色很讨喜“我终于还可以有理有据的捶死他了”哈哈哈哈~憨萌的人设总是能给人带来一些欢笑，挺好的。
动作戏这么牛，怎么也要加一分。
啊这？都在夸打戏，可打戏稀碎啊。巴不得一帧切一个画面，每个画面里镜头推拉腾挪，还喜欢聚焦局部拉近景，每动一下信息量极大，镜头衔接跨度也大，俯视仰视平视一秒切10次，我好几次暂停确认是不是开了倍速。这种晃法上大荧幕的话，影院不得吐一屋子人？这稀碎的打戏和好一点也不沾边啊。
国漫不敢说全看过，95%看过了，这剧简直天花板，武打动作，配乐，台词，人物世界观设计，画风，故事情节推进，看得我头皮发麻，兄弟们同感顶起来。还有个疑问，这么燃的动漫，为什么评分这么低，看的人那么少，真的很奇怪。
拳拳到肉，步步惊心。番剧与剧场版都是反派出彩，剧场版里的西门仁也不过是理想主义，心怀大同社会的人。最后西门仁的徒弟们看见西门仁被杀，立刻反水，对于他们来说，他们有什么宏图伟业，他们也不过是想要有饱饭，有被窝。看《枕刀歌》我感到很开心，中国的动漫可以这样好看，这样考究。但是也有忧伤，中国武侠只能在动漫里寻找了。
新年第一炸，打戏太帅了！最能打的动作戏在动漫里，这是时代的幸还是不幸呢？
“修罗权的关键是收拳的力道，要内劲层层叠加，最后迸发于毫厘之间的距离。所以真正的修罗拳打人，一定是肝肠寸断，但是肋骨完好。死的极快又无痛苦，死亡之时又有一丝慈悲，所以叫修罗拳。”
武打部分确实是很流畅，但是也仅限于此了，剧情很平庸，最无语的是最后反派一帮弟子在老大挂了以后反手全部秒认男主为新老大，这…西门仁棺材板盖不住啊！
武打依旧好看，期待枕刀歌宇宙系列。
小时候都以为他们有很多选择，却选择了最讨厌的一种，长大了才发现，和小时候完全不一样。
