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".
2021年了，小孩子演戏头发还要梳得这么一丝不苟
小女主和妈妈的演技都是很不错的，女主妈有点像使女故事的女主
孵化，开始其自由生活的过程。女孩身上里面拥有自己的孵化，互相伤害，控不住替杀人可怕，结果女孩赶紧挡住孵化的人，被母亲杀女儿的心，做错了事很后悔很自责，没想到她活了，体会母爱的感情
小姑娘被出轨虎妈+猫爸+讨厌弟弟搞得人格分裂、大开杀戒，最后善良完全湮灭，只留下个怪物……缺点就是一家子的关系没说清楚。爸爸和弟弟都没有出轨装修工人的戏份多。
很棒，这种才是细思极恐的电影吧！豆瓣对恐怖片一项苛刻，评分好低哦。。这部有芬兰版“仲夏夜惊魂”的味道，但又比仲夏夜更贴近生活，反映了很多现实问题，青春期、原生家庭、多孩家庭、甚至体育竞技等等都有涉及。。呈现的也还是不错，视觉上和心理上的恐怖元素都有，还是很喜欢的！女主角很棒！外形和演技都是！未来可期！
有其母必有其女，教育子女要成才就是在孵化他们去善变残忍的一面，人之初性本恶。导演的恐怖设定有想法 3.5
莫要把梦想强加在别人身上
名叫孵化但20min就孵出来了未免有些太快，而后的剧情走向变得怪异又有一丝牵强。化妆做的不错。
隐喻比较直白，对抗完美家庭的压力，女孩人格分化为乖乖女和怪物鸟。
其次偏低领的剧情，没有太欣赏得来，不过设定就是这样，那就没什么挑剔得了，
小女孩演得好，得知母亲出轨但是又被母亲pua的表情拿捏得很准。
北欧有鸟，其名为鸦，化而为人，可取而代之。鸟人可怕，但比鸟人更可怕的，是抖音女皇妈妈，极端表演型人格的背后，是极度自私，如果能博得粉丝一赞，她能生吃了自己女儿
其实还挺好看的 原本期望没那么大 算是意料之外的小惊喜 一直以为鸟是小女孩的第二人格 没想到片尾直接取而代之了 有点好奇鸟人是怎么来的 母亲最后为什么邪魅一笑 会不会小女孩之前也是个鸟人 细思极恐
还挺好的，老老实实讲故事，虽然没太啥惊喜，但是很真挚的作品
有点后现代的惊悚片，我既讨厌你又想讨好你啊。
典型亚洲虎妈和被完全驯化的子女的形象被塑造得淋漓尽致，却是北欧片，蛮神奇的。
2022.6.**小女孩捡了个蛋孵出了邪恶的自己代替了自己
电影给我的感觉。起码还流畅吧，不是太尬。挺多剧情对话还是挺符合儿童片的感觉。
最后小女孩和她的家人一样，全部都变成了鸟人。
精巧俗套的寓言故事，又是一部借用恐怖元素的伪文艺小清新电影。无非就是自私自利的家长最终会把孩子善良的一面抹杀，长大成人就是逐渐变得残忍的过程。
