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".
一开始以为是像看不见的客人一样的各执一词的悬疑剧，最后挖掘出强奸案的真相。其实没有，这是个现实剧。那间屋子里发生的事情永远无人知道，因为那是关于一件事的两种感受。男人不觉得自己有错，认为粗鲁的话随口说出不过是稀松平常。因为没有人教他们什么是尊重，从来不考虑女人真正想要什么，只关心自己想要什么。女人不知道如何拒绝，沉默不代表默认，而代表经历痛苦。

就冲TV质量做对比也得4星啊，完爆TV，真就栓条狗都比久弥直树写的强，憋塔冲击笑死我了，以后圆谷可别再整这种强力型了，受不了
"But justice doesn't need warriors. It needs judges who are impartial."
第一次看法国庭审戏，挺有意思的。女主演得很好。
果然是被好导演熏出来的 好好练练出来拍长片吧
男女议题扣紧当下时代发展（metoo之后的互联网污名化，少许的种族议题，年轻权贵们的醉生梦死），不再是简单的二元对立（“强奸犯”也可以是在机场帮助老太太拿行李箱的年轻人），而是有着更为透彻且客观的反思。
剧场版也一般般，邪恶特利迦也是会重复一句希卡利，没啥新意。特利迦故事算是彻底完结了吧。
把TV摁在地上摩擦，剧情节奏虽然紧，但不像TV一样乱，打戏虽然多，但看的爽，最重要的是这部剧场版把TV中忽略的“人”这一元素充分体现出来了，算是为特利迦的故事画上了一个圆满的句号。

一起性侵案的双视角，一场有罪与否的法庭辩论与道德审判。
《诗》里面那个哥哥跟个神经病一样，在一般中国家庭的大哥哪有这种莫名其妙的除了闹就是闹的，穷人的孩子早当家，这种环境下成长的孩子自觉的会承担家里的部分责任，哪有家里下雨进水还闹别扭的。为了浪漫而故意制造的矛盾很违和，编剧和导演完全不接地气。
除了致敬真的一点创意都没有，把正木敬吾的故事翻拍的如此低能，高人气泽塔成了工具人简直浪费。讲道理还不如以往新生代大乱炖看得爽。
故事一般，拍得也很一般。确实不够震撼，略显冗长。
非常之精彩，悬疑一直保持到最后，在酒精和药品的驱使下，是非对错已难以分辨，只有不同的视角和不同的立场去审时度势，男女主角家庭背景 文化背景大相径庭，对事物也有着截然不同的观点，最后的审判应该是最好的结局了！
沈腾的那部落意不深啊，看出来想要表达孩子不能光应试教育成为学习的机器，但是结局又有些俗套。
麻花的最后一趴也太难拍了 未来题材还有很长的路要走

啊反而让我想起知晓我姓名而不是最后的决斗。太子妈这个词全球通用，但虎头蛇尾了，角色给的发挥这个人物的自我矛盾，是发自内心的女权还是哗众取宠，最后是否能自洽…太多能讲的了
强烈建议做产品做广告做商业的都来看看徐峥的“鸭先知”。可以说是给广告拍的广告片。
