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".
被国家忽视的偏僻小岛。排外的岛民。被振兴“责任”压垮的人们。面对转机时的冲突角力。用日式岛民乡土做这样的尝试还蛮不错的，虽然看到后半段才意识到他们没有什么特别的乡音。
本来觉得这片子废了，但是结尾让我觉得很惊艳，推翻了前面的不良观感，也让人感觉电影有了不同的意义。
这个结局有点唐突，好期待后续阿
那么好的题材，人为造神，岛民排外，结果后半段也实在是太平庸了吧。。。泄气。。。
所以这个故事里面的政府让史密斯领导九课去抓neo。黑客帝国镜像版？
说了一个谎就得说几个谎来圆，松ken看饼一家幸福的模样眼神有点落寂时有猜到是他，没认出来伊藤步看到演员表有她有点惊喜，卡司很强，多厨狂喜。
知道为什这片评分这么低吗？因为你居然把连叔给弄演死了！
【2022-020】TV版本的剧场版，多的我也不说了，这个剧情很一般，思考战车还是那么可爱，大佐身材依然那么好，评分6.5等后续吧，这个就是个预热。
不管什么家庭背景，都应给孩子树立正确的价值观。
真的看不下去，比《银翼杀手:黑莲花》差多了。
因为L和夜神月来看的。。作为悬疑剧来说有点过分好猜了，一点都不悬疑。。。
恩，没怎么看懂，挺简单的，反转也很简单的剧情。。。后知后觉阵容强大啊，编剧一边，死亡笔记的月和l啊
流水线作品，尼森叔动作越发含糊，盖皮尔斯莫妮卡贝鲁奇只打嘴炮，整体没有亮点
从救女儿到救总统到现在做杀手，虽然年迈了，身手还是很利落，但是这电影看着总是觉的憋屈，最后被乱弹射死
还是别3d建模求求了，怎么看怎么奇怪，毁灭经典…
maybe I didn't watch a movie a long time, I think this movie is good basically, the major actors are all old men, the most surprise is Liam Neeson died and someone else finished his job by conscience, I think the human darkness should be more specific, I said basically it's a good movie, please not too be serious
小警察真的不是周深演的吗 男主真的一个比一个丑哇
这半年看了最好的犯罪电影。故事有点问题，不知道是恰了还是漏了，其他镜头氛围音乐都很好。所有角色死的很痛快不拖泥带水一堆道理就挂的电影。
主题很老套 但也很经典 当所谓正道比如法律没有能力去伸张他们本来应该去伸张的正义的时候 那是应该坐以待毙 坐视不管 还是换一种极端的手段去伸张正义 那这样子的得来的正义又是不是真正的正义呢 确实不失为一个值得反复咀嚼的问题 但本片的弊端在于连姆尼森失忆与否纵观全片好像不是那么的重要 简介里关于“到底应该信任谁”的说辞 好像也没有表现出来
非常可惜，没有看过原著，但漫画的剧作设定与展开实在是让人惊叹，也不知道是不是影片完全没有改编，包括结尾的处理，但全片看下来，直到警察自杀都相当让人拍案叫绝，把当事人的困境描绘到了极点，只可惜最后匿名短信感觉是败笔，而且这个短信发送人的处理也让人无法信服，演员真是全体出彩，不论是藤原龙也、松山研一、神木隆之介、黑木华还是余贵美子、柄本明包括永濑正敏都相当出彩，原来可以打个至少四星以上，因为结尾处理逻辑关系还是不顺畅，3.5星吧
