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".
当然透过这部剧，我发现了另一种看待政治家的角度。张伯伦以前是受吐槽的，因为他的绥靖政策，但，谁能说清楚他当时到底有没有做错呢？至少他努力了，如果这部影片呈现的历史是真的。
之前还嘲笑人家印度片臭长，可看看现在中国网大拍的一部部垃圾一样的品质，你还不如攒三部的钱，好好打磨剧本，拍一部稍微像样的。印度奇侠痛欧英国殖民者。。。人家这品质比中国现在泛滥的网大质量不知道高到哪里去了。虽然还是必有舞蹈。
本片可谓是两兄弟为了拯救人民从陌生到一起的冰与火之歌。只有印度的歌舞才能给人独特的感染力，它能通过歌舞的形式继续推进剧情。而且歌舞很美很动人不是吗。
怪有基情的 手撕鬼子一个打一百个要看就看印度出品
比期待的差了很多，拍得不是很爽。
同为第三世界受侵略受殖民的人民们，必须要支持，干它奶奶爷爷的日不落贼国。至于动作场面，一点都不夸张。真心话！中国有武功，美帝有超英，印度有神力无可厚非。
跟《巴霍巴利王》一样，等于把英雄电影拍成了超级英雄电影，更注重的是爽感与视觉享受，合理性就实在没法考虑了。如果有机会，可以在大银幕上看到这样的电影，应该也挺过瘾的。不过，印度电影实在是太长了。
确实是超级视觉大片 配乐也很神。查了下导演 原来就是巴霍巴利王那位哈哈哈
燃爆了好吧！什么叫文化自信！！！什么他妈的叫文化自信！！！
多少年后
印度战狼名不虚传，种种浮夸又极具想象力的动作设计让人叹服。印度演员也真不容易，光编排舞蹈就挺费时间吧，肢体不协调都演不了男主。赤手屠熊搏虎，乔峰来了都不一定打得过这俩兄弟吧😂又尬又乐，看完开心一整天
PS.原来阿莉雅只是个承上启下打酱油的角色
悬念十足，张弛有度
历史总是在不断地循环，俄乌对峙让欧洲又走到的战争边缘。
却忽视了希特勒同样不惜一切的去渴望去拥有
荞麦和杰尼斯表情都好棒🥺看着他们紧张了我也紧张了看着他们一起抽烟我也想在个人分享一根纸烟。大格局上，国家啊民族之类的表现较弱，但是对手戏真的很有张力啊！
美术和舞蹈设计部分非常出彩，几段转场也很惊艳。看的印度人民一本正经的开挂，确实能给人带来不少乐趣。感谢印度神片给我带来三个小时快乐。
我对历史题材小说改编的电影总是很宽容，不需要逻辑严谨，最后能圆出一个好玩的结局就行。是配乐和镜头语言把这部电影救回及格线的，小酒馆聚会和牛津派对又弄成美则美矣的鸡肋了，最后俩男主分食一根烟怪浪漫的，谁让我就是喜欢这种cliche。把女性角色塑造成隐藏辅助才是年代剧的正确打开方式，三个女人各有各的坚韧与勇敢，同时也起到了不可或缺的作用。吐槽女性角色还不如吐槽男主，性格如白纸做主线任务能力又差，简直独自carry起观众的血压。总而言之，当个剧情/惊悚故事看看得了，品一品人间真情（“希望就是等待别人救你，所以最好不要”），非要求不偏不倚也太蛋疼了吧。
历史的大潮浩浩荡荡，奔流不息，细小的插曲有时候不足让其改道。
两个小哥是牛津校友 冒生命危险盗取文件交给张伯伦 张却不愿意承认 宁愿自己骗自己 人总是相信有利于自己的情况会出现 优点就是两方元首都挺喜欢提携自己的年轻人的 即使知道年轻人不同意自己
