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".
一部可以看看的电影。
看完本片不知不觉就想到最近唐山打人那事了～只能庆幸幸好有视频爆出来～
摄影质感不错👍故事平淡无趣！为了金子搭上性命，都是人性。
唉，连姆尼森老了，竟然没有撑到最后一秒钟，在1小时19分领盒饭了！怀念连姆尼森的营救系列，好莱坞像这样的优秀动作演员都老了，丹泽尔华盛顿，阿汤哥，马特戴蒙，布拉德皮特。。。。。动作演员接班人在哪里呢？那个《死侍》的男演员非常讨厌他，逼逼叨叨逼逼叨叨的烦死了！最讨厌看到他的动作片，都是低级趣味的笑不出的美国笑话！
老头子营救了一辈子没功劳也有苦劳 分数不能太难看 地球球花莫妮卡都老了 我哭了😭 | 220525 with Ken
老年杀手也太可怜了 想想他中年有多风光 /那么多警察保护一个人渣 棒棒哒/ 结尾比较好评/我会打四星 但5.8太夸张了五星顶
007皇家赌场马丁坎贝尔指导，连姆尼森大叔再次记忆营救，这回是救自己。老套的破案，全程昏昏欲睡，全是尿点。
人为财死 鸟为食亡。很喜欢这种末世感，很有带入感，就静静看着。男主演技在线，最后还有小惊喜
太一般了，剧情无聊，没有大动作，甚至悬疑犯罪过程都直白到没有一点感觉
飓风已经给男主打上烙印了，看之前还戏称这是飓风记忆，记忆营救，看到最后，有点感慨男主这个角色还是给人种下了希望的，相信在当权者亦是阴影中人正义无法得到伸张的绝望里，依然有这样一个人，会用他的直观的方式去惩奸除恶。男主真的年纪大了，有些英雄末路的哀伤
一把年纪了还在一线干活，不知是悲催还是悲催。尼森感觉还是在线的，身手了得，技法成熟，不过说起自己从不对小孩子动手时，突然感觉有些出戏，雇佣你的老板，不知道有这不可逾越的规矩吗？可能，这是最大的bug了。影片最后，嫉恶如仇的下属，秘密解决坏人boss，看着，挺解气的。。。
连姆叔进入特工阴影出不来了，而且每次的剧情都呈越来越烂趋势，感觉这电影就像拼凑起来的，导演开机前联系了几个名角就开机了，连剧本可能都是淘宝代写那种
基本上就是三星，老爷子近几年拍的电影有点一言难尽，这部还算好，起码看开头猜不中结尾
最精彩的是蒙面人背后抹脖子那一瞬间，毫不拖泥带水。
法律在金钱面前举步难行，不得不有人站出来扫除障碍，黑亦白时，白亦黑！
视角和背景完全不同的掘金记。壮丽的大自然景象衬托下，人性之原罪让绝望、压抑反而越发沉重。
MTC指数即将跌破40。没想到莫妮卡也老了，连叔也别再接动作戏了。
整体还不错。犯罪集团太强大就不真实了。警察又太弱鸡。连姆大叔两头作战。
连姆森尼从老硬汉变成老残汉了，动作影星难避免衰老明显的事实。不是很明白本片连姆死掉有什么意义
有一种感觉，英雄迟暮，深感惋惜，但内心的正义没有老
