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".
同样是神剧，印度的神剧看了能让人点燃，我们的神剧看了只能阻燃，这是问题，希望导演们可以学习借鉴一下。
…？
印度战狼/丛林之王/这就是街舞（印度舞版）/印度有神药/困兽之斗/兵临城下/死了都要健身/抗英神剧。男主长得实在太像猪头逛大街里的Kumar，很难不出戏。
很《喜劇之王》，一面是演員事業的困境與野心，一面是被意外捲入的黑幫事件，區別是，一個是龍套演員的奮鬥史，一個是過氣巨星的翻身仗。Nicolas Cage、他扮演的Nicolas Cage、他扮演的諸多電影角色，形成了有趣的三重關係，尤其是看到他在電影中自我調侃、自我嘲諷、自我解構，會有種經歷魔幻時刻的真假難辨，可惜，後半部分太類型化了，結局的底也太常規了。PS.《卡里加里博士的小屋》值得被所有人喜歡！PPS.《帕丁頓熊2》也值得被所有人喜歡！
阿三究竟如何把春晚塞进手撕鬼子里的，一整个春晚啊妈蛋
It's time to rewatch Paddington 2. P.S. 海报和Everything Everywhere All at Once的风格还有点相似
《RRR》
很多不明真相的观众在某些Up主的流量下都爱嘲笑印度电影中的歌舞，之前对印度电影的评价就是印度电影去掉歌舞可以放到国外赚外汇，国内的电影呢？几十分钟的剧情非得注水到一部电影的长度。但是这部电影不一样，剧情虽是典型的爽剧，但是舞蹈是顶尖的，从此之后对印度的歌舞大为改观。
体验到了仿佛看抗日神剧的快乐，元素过多总有一个爽点能打中你，有尬又好笑
为了养眼还是一分钟不拉下看完，结论就是：日、日、日，这也行！
概念使人不得不想起<成为约翰马尔科维奇> + <改编剧本>
战神附体的大英雄，二星的剧情，五星的场面～大远镜头摇近时惊叹真的是人海战术！颜值扛得住超清大屏幕，服饰敢放大细节去追肌理质感，真金白银彩宝石的绚烂……看下来，觉得自己完全是来被画面和歌曲赏心悦目的，故事没记住。
作为商业片，视听效果是完全合格的； 但至于在2022年，各殖民地人民还用抗x奇观来继续麻醉自我，也是可悲可叹呢。
嘎嘎嘎，这也太喜人了，仿佛有当初看宝莱坞机器人那种狂拽酷炫的感觉
以一敌百，徒手打老虎，
片中英国兵的战斗力相当于我国手撕鬼子片里的日本兵，爽片，希望印度人用这样的片子培养出的感情能对准高加索人种的罪恶而不是和中国互掐。总督夫人演得好，把高加索人的傲慢与恶毒充分展示了出来。
手撕英国鬼子！这分镜+特效怎么把动作戏拍的那么帅啊！！不过印度特色歌舞还是很搞笑
SXSW 2022. 和尼古拉斯凯奇同场看尼古拉斯凯奇演尼古拉斯凯奇是怎样一种感受。整部电影的台词写得太棒了，我真的在影院有释放到；Cage和Pedro俩人的表演也太棒了
我一直在思考 要是国产神剧 手撕鬼子
