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".
而且这片很多桥段很“琼瑶”很超级英雄
啊这该死的孽缘，啊这兄弟虐恋，三小时不注水的意淫，竟有这样引人入胜的剧情！我不知道该怎么形容，但目不转睛看的真是很来劲儿 印度神药牛啊！
在下坂本有何贵干印度版。不过时间如果没这么长的话，还是看得令人很开心。（自由是人与生俱来的权利，我们不应该为了追求它而低声下气）
这强大的身体复原能力，这指哪打哪的超级功夫，还有唱歌跳舞的文艺才能，加上家国情怀，这就是印度武侠吧！神虎侠侣，地母八部……
7.5 大爽片。浓浓的巴霍巴利王风格，一看导演同一个。哈哈哈
而这种歌舞元素让他们的导演在动作和造型设计上面的功力尤其出众 值得借鉴
印度神剧单靠着无脑燃参杂些歌舞便冲出本土了，成特色了
此片为印度抗英“神剧”不在于逻辑性，但注重观赏性（所以影院观看视听会很爽，如同夏日里的冰可乐，但回味起来就是糖水！）。剧情：“胡子兄弟”的抗英传奇故事（的确有《巴霍巴利王》元素……）其实借此从另外一个角度说明一下，印度电影还是很强的，片长基本3个小时左右，如同短剧集合。如果换成其他的影片，相信大多都会导致结构松散，招架不住，败下阵来！（能把神剧拍摄的如此唯美，由此我到是希望我局讨厌的咱们的抗日神剧也拍出这样。影片在当前俄乌冲突时期的推出，不知多少会有点意图吧。）
人民群众喜欢的，你指三道四，你算老几。虽然是抗英神片，不过个中有很多值得我们借鉴的地方--剧本，道具，特效，天马行空都算，男演员的专业/职业和一身腱子肉更算。人民的，大众的。
最多两颗星了，这片子居然是今年的票房冠军，阿三们的智商太让人捉急了！看评论说历史上真的有这两人存在，那印度早就该统治大英帝国，不不不，应该是统治全地球了！我也不明白英国人居然不抗议，好死不死，一个英国人向印度人挑战跳舞，我都快疯了！看完本片真的能头脑发热的民众应该从来不懂历史，英国压迫印度是真，然而印度几乎没有像样的反抗，而且至今仍以英联邦国家为傲，也不是印度自己争取的独立，而是英国经过二战后为了甩包袱强迫印度独立！
世上只有一种英雄主义，就是在认清生活真相之后，依然热爱生活。凯奇或许不是什么英雄，但看完这部片子想起童年时候在电视上追他电影的时光不禁感叹，他其实是很多影迷心中无可替代的传奇。
被大英帝国殖民了200年。印度人民保留了它的民主制度。 电影很精彩。特么都神人。
后1.5小时，双男主变身超人，一弓一拳，一个飞车一箭射爆油箱刚好冲进英军弹药库一顿爆炸德里英军全军覆灭，离谱不离谱。一星。
这样这部电影更有历史感
印度电影真的是艺术太高于生活了😅😅😅不过好在“逻辑自洽”
好看，脑洞很大，有巴霍巴利那味了，一看导演，巴霍巴利，功夫小蝇，都看过
为了养眼还是一分钟不拉下看完，结论就是：日、日、日，这也行！
笑抽了 想念Incredible India的奇幻生活
主题倒是挺好的，但是形式实在是太夸张了😂😂😂
