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".
我是否接受被人代替这一点 我甚至都希望自己健全的时候有人愿意去代替我 她拿着我的身份 只要不像我那么爱逃跑 她没错我也没错 我不管现代科技把克隆体看做什么 我也不想去想她的感受 她是否想作为真正的人类 人类太自大了 毛发的生长指甲的长度 我们不想做不利于自己的牺牲 就算最后的牺牲也只是作为人类个体的消亡 自私又可笑
把自己拥有的一切拱手让人，哪怕那个人是另一个自己，也很难过吧。
今天下午看的，完全超出预期，比第一部电影要好看很多。今年新片中最棒的，上个月看的《神奇动物》把我给恶心到了。剧情上完全承接，没有bug,没有吃书。这才是时代在变革!开头汤姆个婚礼到老夫人的葬礼用的简直太巧妙。夫人cora的演员真是越老越有韵味，比《美国往事》时期更加惊艳!无意中也了解了电影的发展史。电影也无意中在反应时局：西班牙流感是不是再说当下的新冠；剧中当红女演员的无理是不是无意中也在映射当今的某些流量演员。“她的一张脸就能卖一百万张票”托马斯的剧情是不是删了，他也是每一部都能遇到真爱。老妇人年轻时的罗曼史也真是够丰富的。还记得看第一部是19年大二上学期，刚考完期末考试的那个期末，下午三点的场，电影院中坐的很满；这个月，我上周刚刚答辩完毕业论文，也是下午三点的场次，六号厅里就我一个人。
怕看重复！标记一下！听说是tv11-14集 就不看啦
两星半。跟黑镜2的第二集？题材是一样的，但黑镜是反应的黑暗面，而这部却恰恰相反。正面的角度去探讨克隆人代替将死之人延续自己的生命。是有些老生常谈，但却是少有的积极和温情。而且更多的其实是男主在临死之前对生活的感悟与反省。我一直喜欢这种极简风格未来科技的调调。不过可以更短更精简一些。（这大哥男配终于拿够了准备冲男主了啊。）
也许都是在为那田蜘蛛山篇做铺垫吧。
當片頭音樂在電影院響起，竟然覺得很感動，《唐頓莊園》承載了太多的記憶。想去法國南部度假。
克隆体融入现实生活，这样替代品还是不错的选择。
如果不是copy paste是cut paste就好了
我妻善逸只有一招，但一招能闪杀一切，也能单挑上弦。是否太偏心了T﹏T
只恨不能给满分。电影院里我想着好喜欢好喜欢，又哭得要命。所有人都圆满，所有细节都窝心。我幸福到泪流满面。又想起我的爷爷，好想他。
克隆人题材科幻伦理片，关于克隆人和本体共存的问题讨论并不新鲜，本片对问题的探讨也浅尝辄止，最后落脚点在宣传人间温情上。画面和室内装置不错，风格很像前几年的《机械姬》
从开头就开始爆哭，两个小时眼泪没停过，but u know, we have to move on
Always have ,and always will
都自动驾驶了，都克隆人了，都移植记忆了，都隐形眼镜4k播片了，人类还是没有克服癌症。
这一集就还蛮……崩的。
电影版都看了，圣诞版也都看了，唯独电视剧版，停在大小姐速度周旋在两个男人之间，以及各种糟心的剧情。再看此片，情怀都在。依旧不喜欢司机，他简直是在编剧笔下开挂的命好，原因是去世的三小姐爱上了他。我甚至为托马斯开启“下一站人生”而欣慰。是的，在这残忍的世界里能尽量幸福！父亲大人一如既往抓我眼球，哭泣那段演的真好啊！希望还有续篇：南法度假篇（让我联想到阿婆的推理剧），玛丽跟导演再续……想不到已经十二年了，第一次看此剧是2010年。
四分半吧，总觉得有些东西没有拍到，好像少了点什么。
拍的有点太隐晦了 让电影看起来像个苹果广告片一样
在万达影院和我姐用两张票的价格包场了嘿嘿！！以及，好美的唐顿，好美的结局🤧🤧ps:应该没有下一场了吧
