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".
特别喜欢郑雷导演的短视频作品。讲电影风趣幽默内容又分量很足。我为黑龙江能有这样优秀的导演而自豪。
比想象中好看，雷神导演还是有两把刷子，就是演员弱点。。。期待好莱坞翻拍版本。
戒指是有什么想法么
剧情人物的情绪也有点怪。。。
太多直白的介绍背景和设定的对白，让科幻没点悬疑，主人公没点临场感，有点出戏。背景音效莫名其妙，有的喜感、有的突兀。但整体设定还不错，类似《彗星来的那一夜》，中间过程有一万种可能性和想象空间，但问题在于怎么设置结尾，在我看来本片跟《彗星》最大的不同也在于这一点，本来“但我看起来像博士，对不对”结尾挺好的，森林中碰到的一双最终经历了不同的穿越凑成了一双，待在一个没有他们俩的世界里，没有伤害别人却也成全了自己。但实际电影结尾又搞出个儿子活着，这不恶心人吗？！捡钱的开心了，丢钱的怎么办呀？甚至我觉得《彗星》的结尾反倒可以接受，你这结尾搞得根本不像国人的成全与浪漫啊！哪怕自杀结局呢也比这个要积极！三个人这点预算已经可以了，但化繁为简后反倒发现，最终决定电影质量的还是编剧，故事内容才是打动人心之所在。
很棒的悬疑小成本电影，其实这个题材很多电影都有涉及，就不剧透了，虽然因为成本的原因，拍摄的也很仓促，有一些细节不到位的情况，但是故事剧本是非常不错的，导演很多想表达的想法也都基本拍出来了，也值得推敲，可以一看，也期待导演的鳟鱼客观三部曲
看不下去，说是被好莱坞买了版权，也不过是那边想借鉴彗星来的那一夜又想避免版权纠纷罢了，演员演技和台词也挺脱离生活的，雷哥这位哥估计也是在闭门造车中锻炼出来的
比起恐怖游轮还是差一截，让观众看得太懂了，最好是搞得很乱，连主角自己是谁都不知道，这种类型其实可以编的很复杂。 3星可看
低成本 高效果 国产悬疑能拍成这样 很欣慰啊
作为一部超低成本的国产电影，本片已经算很成功了。看得出来导演深受欧美惊悚片影响，《时空罪恶》，《恐怖游轮》，《彗星来的那一夜》这三部不知道他研究过多少遍，还顺便致敬了《闪灵》。叙事，演技，摄影都在水准之上，只是电影节奏太慢让我有点跑神，此类故事已经不算新了，基本上能猜到结局，场景也不多变，演员也就三个，拍到102分钟实在有些拖沓，如果能控制在80分钟左右也许看着会多一些娱乐性，节奏慢下来观众就容易去思考bug，这对科幻悬疑类，又是低成本的电影本身就没有好处。
仿佛看到彗星来的那一夜，只不过太小成本了，时空逻辑没有大的BUG
结局算是个亮点。叙事手法和技巧还是比较稚嫩。鼓励一下吧
虽然略带生涩 但整体构思还是挺好的，不论故事模仿的是谁，这个故事本身还是很完整并且吸引人的。美中不足演员的表演不够收放自如，声音的制作也不完美
创意非常好，但我认为演员表演欠佳，而且有的地方对白很尬其实，以两年前的眼光来看还是不错，但以现在来看略显过时，而且最后也没有发生所谓男主说的涟漪越大灾难越大，可能不想深挖(预算不够)，不过100万能拍成这样已经很不错了，能被好莱坞看中翻拍属实难得，支持雷导，土猛土猛的
还行吧 演员的演技不出戏还挺好的 剧情逻辑也都能圆上 比起彗星来临的那一天故事也简单不是很难懂 就是也挺奇怪女主和她老公咋就那么容易接受穿越这件事 去到别的平行空间也挺自在的那种感觉。。
电影平行世界的设定很不错，但是导演不知道怎么填坑。
以低成本软科幻网大来说可圈可点，在有限场景内做了很多花样的可能性。可惜就是个《恐怖邮轮》的模仿作，是编剧自己一厢情愿的理论加持，对空间理论、人物行为和穿越方式表述不清，无法用视觉传达明晰，解释多过表现，甚至越描越乱。
全片基本没啥特效。科幻剧情全靠概念讲述。只有三四个演员。但整体呈现效果还是不错的。脑洞大开。剧情节奏把控很好。有反转也有思考。
恐怖游轮，彗星来的那一夜
虽然略带生涩 但整体构思还是挺好的，不论故事模仿的是谁，这个故事本身还是很完整并且吸引人的。美中不足演员的表演不够收放自如，声音的制作也不完美
