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".
这次的电影没有字幕，原版电影，有几个点有疑问，可能之后还会二刷吧
感觉哪哪都差几口气，就算几口气都续上，估计也就那样。
……这么多东西压成一个半小时，看得神经错乱。总结就是菜狗男主穿越到昆池岩杀鬼然后被围殴
30分钟后全程高能，虽然阅恐无数，吓人手法教老套，并没有惊吓到我，但气氛烘托到位。现在恐怖片拍成这样已经非常不错了。本来想给3星，一看评分才5.5？那必须5颗星。
及格线还是达到了，众多恐怖元素，惊悚程度还可以。但故事层次太浅，本以为结合了鬼宅、时空穿梭、鬼打墙，会不断抽丝剥茧暴露更多的故事内容，其实是一锅乱炖，强行恐怖，匆忙结尾。看得第一部金康宇的作品，早就听闻演技了得，但不得不说这回表现一般，尤其是各种卡脸镜头的小表情过于浮夸、冗杂。
确实是很黑，逻辑也有点乱看最后才捋清楚人物和时间轴，但这片子没有评论说的那么糟糕，比起那些赋予太多映射，含义的恐怖片来说这部片子很纯粹，就是恐怖，而且节奏不慢，氛围也还不错，看了太多南巫这种打着恐怖片名义的电影。这部片子确实有吓到我。
艾菲尔铁塔背后的爱情故事，画面很美，就是故事有点单薄。
到是不怎么恐怖。就是看不懂。。。还得来豆瓣看分析
感觉鸟巢、水立方也可以拍成一部传记爱情电影。
本来想给2星，最后，1星吧……故弄玄虚到最后我也没看明白，非要去送命？
🙄三张假钞作为故事的根基实在太弱了，完全撑不起前面营造的悬念…总之故事的逻辑和说服力太差，甚至都可以忽略节奏上的毛病了…
真是无语了，画面暗的不得了，就听见他们在发疯尖叫，一片黑啊，都不感觉恐怖了，是他自己写的死者永远无法走出这道门，他自己原来也早就死了，应该一开始就是死的，倒叙和插叙用的很好呀
凤凰变成鸠，三万假币的兜兜转转。一开始人物太过杂碎，虽然最后串连起来了有点思路微妙的感觉，但毕竟前面的故事讲得不咋地 | 改编自佐藤正午同名小说
故事真的很俗套，然而还是被埃菲尔燃尽理想主义站在铁塔上的几个镜头打动了，如同工业时代蒸蒸日上巴黎。如果它能把故事讲得更丰富而生动，而不是停留在穷小子与富家千金爱而不得的故事，该是多么绚烂的时代挽歌。
还可以吧，叙事顺序上下了点心思，有一点点恐怖游轮意思
对建塔过程很有兴趣 对其中的爱情线并不喜欢 更何况是瞎编的情感…
女主角给我舒淇的感觉 至于剧情什么的 一般 而且女主后嫁的那个老公感觉比男主更帅些
埃菲尔铁塔是我心中最向往的旅游圣地！我对电影唯一不满的是影片缺少了铁塔最后落成的镜头，哪怕是用动画做出来也算呀！最后的那个A更增添了浪漫的意味！
真的 如果不是看了严重剧透的长评 这个剧乱七八糟的叙事风格真是把好好一个电影整的稀碎 能看出来导演想前后穿插叙事 最后揭开谜底 只是处理剧情的能力实在有限。多给一星 完全是给特殊失踪专案组的金先生
女孩被父亲杀了，为了报仇操纵管理员杀人，一般般
