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".
画个烟熏妆就“致敬”加勒比了，都是完全让人笑不出的梗。果然烂片无国界。
无脑爽片，打斗场景设计的还可以。尤其前三十分钟几乎无台词，搞笑。
從頭打到尾，動作戲還過得去，其實蠅量級的技巧再高也打不過重量級。
中世纪公主的动作复仇爽片，青少年看看应该会很喜欢，成年人会觉得...很扯淡。另外乔伊金扮演的公主，既不精致也不英气，从头到脚一股乡间悍妇味儿。但是小姑娘动作戏拍得还是挺好的，看看人家小花的职业精神！
I can see this becoming a cult classic. It's female warrior princess trope. We kept thinking of swamp castle in Monty Python yakubd.net and Shawn of the dead... I'd watch it again if I needed a laugh and a female power pick me up .
这个公主让我想到勇敢传说，只不过这部电影剧情非常简单，基本上就是公主一路开挂打打杀杀的动作戏，少女以一敌百壮汉这种剧情看着还是蛮爽的，曾经的童星乔伊金真的长大了，文戏武戏都能演
想给多点星吧，tmd是真的不合理啊，这也太扯了，芝麻大的王国，毛的首位，靠华人授剑法，结果送了一把刀，公主体力爆表，各种体术惊人....无聊
1.从新版《辛德瑞拉》开始，好莱坞对公主颜值的选角眼光持续走低。2.本以为是个公主王子的童话故事，结果却是个地地道道的「武侠片」。 3.电影的武术指导若不是成龙，那么就一定是成龙的粉丝。4.如果拒绝「被结婚」，则一定要时刻提防被「结婚」对象报复。5.继续延续电影界「主角打不死」铁律。6.在包裹了「主角光环」的大女主面前，所有的男人都变成了废物。7.导演想表达的是：相比较坐享其成的男人，权利在大多数女性面前，是要靠拼了老命才能争取到的东西。
反派太弱智，太嫩，主角光环过于厉害。一个弱女子居然可以以一打十，还特么都是训练过的军人，我只能说挂开得过于明显了一点。
部分好笑 但很多加勒比海盗的影子 李光洙还是本色出演啊 天选之子
演员比较惊喜！姜河那真是在不断挑战各种类型的角色呀！
女导演来拍会更好。。。结局还以为女主会直接登王位了呢，搞了半天还让这废物男国王来宣布女主有继承权？😅
这两三年周周的电影都让我觉得不如直接去和男主拍个爱情片吧，这样我就不会想玩手机了👩🏿🦱现在看到大制作三个字我都害怕😩浪费演员哇🤷♀️
从头打到尾，真的比一般爽片的动作戏几倍还长，但是就是。。后期制作有问题吧。
片子在特效上花大力气了，呈现的效果挺好，有的片段特效很震撼；动作设计也不错。观影过程中感到不爽的原因，就是见不得从头至尾演员们扯着嗓子大喊大叫、声嘶力竭的，是不是因为担心大海之中海浪声淹没了自己的声音？其实，为了提升喜剧效果，未必非得装疯卖傻似的吼叫不可。看在制作技术投入和演员卖了大力的面子上，还是应该给打上三星。6.5分。
看这种片，就是图的一个快乐。不想人生，不想大事，只是傻呼呼的笑笑而已。。。。
虽然剧情简单套路到极点，但几乎从头打到尾的动作戏拍的确实很不错，大可一观。
太老套 畫面也沒有很漂亮 劇情演員也很尬 一分是看在我是54的粉絲上
企鹅真的离谱
轻喜剧，调性控制得非常稳，剧情和人物性格搭配得也挺协调，略显夸张的美术和表演也相得益彰，是一个非常平衡的作品，当做周末的消遣非常合适。
