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".
电影里，英国乡村地区风景，越是平静美丽如画，越是反衬出女主内心的惶恐不安。在复制粘贴量产的沙猪男包围下，不安全感如影随形，女性并不具备放松下来欣赏风景享受生活的闲情逸致。恐怖的尽头，竟是恐男。
2.5期待很久终于看到，很干净的演员表(笑)；当Rory开始读诗，读“丽达与天鹅”的时候我才惊觉当A24的观众门槛真的不低(笑)；绿色Rory吹蒲公英我又串台了仲夏夜之梦(笑)；被疯狂包装和诠释的概念，没有故事性，女主演起神棍片易如反掌，一些恶趣味和隐喻令人上头，总结一句话Rory是个好演员。
Dear Garland: Try to lay some decent plots as groundwork then upon that elaborate on visuals, not the other way round; for instance, at any rate there were some plots, not that they were nearly as stunning as the looks by any means, for the visuals to be based upon in your Annihilation, were there not? Please stick to that formula, comprende?
3，前面绿色隧道相当的美，中期恐怖氛围营造的不错，后期男人互相生男人这部份隐喻，是在暗示男性带给女性的各种恐惧程度？跟踪裸露、不尊重侮辱、不合适玩笑（房东代表的恐惧是不适宜玩笑？，尤其撞倒房东被房东反追这个点太生硬了，房东基本没有主动的恶，恐惧）、神父代表的淫欲？最后丈夫代表的控制？ 对绿色隧道和后期两个cult场面比较喜欢，手臂分成两半，不算什么创意但总感觉是我第一次完整看到，男人生男人这段完整的表现相当可以。 只能说今年的《钛》是真的棒，无论画面表现还是深度上
为了一点醋包了一锅饺子。cult场面没有铺垫部分吓人，恶心更多一点。片末场景女主丈夫说完台词后感想是“就这”…
节奏还不错，并没有拖沓的地方，只是转到那一堆形而上的镜头时，太乱了，完全是堆砌元素。不过总体氛围还是很不错的，将“男人”最恶心的特点：暴力、色情、自大、无理、油腻，通通呈现出来，一听就很可怕。
黑叶芝黑到位了，看的人人版被剪了不少只能靠脑补，高饱和的环境色很容易联想到《湮灭》
比较喜欢嘉兰之前的作品，但本片实在无法接受。它真的不像一部电影.....
这部片和拉斯冯提尔的《忧郁》有异曲同工之妙。男性生育套娃和分裂开的左手引起严重生理不适。
期待一部women 但应该没有人会拍因为没有消费者 什么思想到头来不都是生意（。）
巴克利咋总演这种角色啊……片子整体太像达伦的《母亲》
年度影片！
8，加兰我谢谢你啊，我现在同时对男人和vagina产生了生理性厌恶，套娃恶心的我内脏发痒，想了一会大概是明白了：糟糕的男性，女性被强迫附加的害怕愤怒内疚情绪，砍杀与摆脱。所以归根到底就是女性与自己的和解？
5.0 结尾的模棱两可，可以将主题进行180度转变，这才是全片最惊悚的地方
画面好美，摄影好强，堪称英国乡村旅游风光片。在我看来讲述的仍然是现代女性如何在男性布局之下突出重围，从一开始的感情开始，女主就在尽力走出失败的感情，本来女主没有错，对象硬是有病说是女主害的。所有的男人都是同一张脸，所有的男人都是对象的化身，简单来说，女性还是需要更多的power，窥视，擅闯，不负责，这些都是女性在现代社会需要面对的。不过相比之下故事性真的较弱。
虽然是恐男片，但女主角人设如此单薄工具人……
当男人像俄罗斯套娃一样连环生娃的画面，应该可以载入恐怖影视的经典画面之一了。当一个成年男人用爱绑架你甚至威胁你要去死的时候，你一定要让他自便。
对千奇百怪以爱为名的控制和占有说f*ck off；以及我实在很纠结为啥女主对房东说自己不会弹琴，连闺蜜都不知道她弹琴超好，歪？？？
景色是真的好看，猎奇也真的猎奇，即使知道最后一段会很邪典，但看的时候还是被辣到了眼睛......（其实我没太看懂电影在讲啥，电影主旨我是理解的，但是故事讲的就很没头没脑）
最直观的裸男是暴露 丈夫是控制 房东是逞英雄 少年是幼稚 牧师是吊癌 女性拥有以上特征男性一般都能接受甚至有的还能加分 但身份互换以上特征对女性来说却是噩梦 这是女性跟男性在认知感觉的五大差异
