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".
害行吧，文艺超英大片，又黑又慢，挺有气质（觉得比扎克那个style好看多了）。行动和语速之慢堪比王家卫和维伦纽瓦（就像听力给你留做题时间一样，台词让人忍不住在心里跟着念）。摄影师一定是戈登威利斯的信徒。喜欢俩黑粉头子在监狱唠嗑一场戏，啧啧，嘶，想起来头皮发麻。放了两遍something in the way好评！2d好评！杜比全景声好评
故事平铺直叙，表演贵存真挚，幸福来之不易，吾辈仍需努力！
10年后我们能看到的公映电影会不会又是这样的
有些许闪光点，不过人物塑造脸谱化，整体太“样板戏”了，同时也是毫无意义的上色修复。
最弱的环节是剧本。依然很白，如果不是早就知道蝙就这样，迷茫的英雄和费解的反派撑不起很多内容。挑战主要是费力。很多配角是刻板印象集合体。但我有很喜欢的部分，摄像和声效高于行活，有段恍然想起小时候看的killer car恐怖片。一个禁欲系打潜行的阴性蝙，蝙蝠车的引擎声就是他难得一见的情绪表达。情感输出端口长在外物上，才能算孤狼神经病。
感觉这部挺返璞归真的，带有黑色电影风格的侦探探案是最还原漫画里的哥谭都市。好家伙！我就说为什么这部的视听和镜头语言如此独特。原来和《沙丘》的摄影指导Greig Fraser是同一个，在蝙蝠车那一段的雨夜追车爆炸片段能把观众都吃了。
开头太棒了，亲身体验到了蝙蝠侠的压迫感。场景可能是目前电影蝙蝠侠里最棒的哥谭，雨下个不停的罪恶世界好像《银翼杀手》，被水淹没的哥谭在黎明的光照下美的惊人。
很一般。去电影院纯粹是觉得过两天电影院又关了。但凡打过CG游戏的都不用去看了，基本上能帧对帧还原到游戏里。
短板非常明显，音乐太密太满、叙事太散太拖、猫女仿佛另一个故事和画风等等，但拍摄风格意外地适合蝙蝠侠这个角色，甚至有种回归传统的复古风，很多视觉设计印象深刻；以及最惊喜的：罗伯特竟然如此适合，包括长相上的优势——只露出方正下巴时，是因愤怒而不动声色的硬汉，回归布鲁斯时，又成了混杂着愤怒恐惧的颓废富家子弟，以至于这应该也是最放大了关于“那个枪击事件中无能为力的男孩”特征的一版蝙蝠侠。
在哥谭，媒体竟然可以随意展示权力系统里的黑暗面，难道电视机不应该天天播厉害了我的哥谭？要我说作者还是不懂哥谭^_^
独特的美学风格，值得在大银幕一看。最喜欢的三个段落是夜枪闪现、爱德华·霍普画风的反派酒吧现身、自由女神像式的举火炬引领众人，American Spirit。
这版的蝙蝠侠有点病娇，智商又有点欠费需要充值的样子。电影的光影特效做的不错，飙车追逐和电梯口和黑灯打斗枪战那两场戏印象很深，漫画感特别强烈。戈登的戏份比猫女多。剧情比较拖沓，emm…感觉不会有第二部
好怀念那时候和爸爸妈妈一起在家看电视剧的日子♥️🥹
完美的画面，连贯的配乐，十足的沉浸感。蝙蝠侠在暴雨下淋湿，瞬间感受到他在一潭死水的Gotham的孤独。
古典老派的黑色电影，沉稳持重但是一气呵成的畅快体验——当然高潮部分处理得有点拉，至少对于一部商业片来说不应该就这么点。整部电影里蝙蝠侠话并不多，全靠镜头语言和表演来表现他的内心世界，也没有滥用冷笑话频繁打断叙事，使得观众沉浸其中，非常的cinema，非常deep dark fantasy。影片对于哥谭市的环境设计也是一绝，破败颓废、腐败滋生，历届客留下了痕迹，使得非常可信。导演也很懂怎么让蝙蝠侠装逼，动作戏不多但是含金量很高，该爽的时候爽，该装逼的时候装逼，观看门槛也不高。真的是这几年看过的数一数二👍的优质商业片啊。（感谢北票吧吧主的电影票）
比起民族战争，更多是针对异党的讽刺，双面间谍更像是两党都有的镜像呈现，上海的小资生活在电影中成了“无产阶级战士”最不想过的生活，但无产阶级上级也没有要求他们化身底层市民，而是化身中产市民。有一些成分构成了今天的戏谑，比如同志情节。
革命题材中数一数二的佳作。各方面都很优秀，剪接的技巧尤其明显，所有演员分寸拿捏得都很准。孙道临塑造的这个形象，是中国电影史上最成功的形象之一。王苹，原来是大导演，而且是女导演。
“耳机上见！”“点划清楚，间隔分明，好像一汪清水”“我想念你们”……革命的浪漫主义情怀啊
要不是既定的潜移默化，真的会觉得谜语人才是正义一方，清理了政府部门里的贪官污吏，多好的人啊！反而这位蝙蝠侠脱下面具像嗑了药似的。。。╮(╯▽╰)╭
当你看清你熟知的世界已腐朽至极、无药可救时，你是否还愿意相信其中仍存最后的良知，并愿为之做最后的尝试？
