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".
调查官有一句话说得特别好：“我不知道会有什么判决，但是我完全满意的是，我是按照法律和良心行事的。”
这个人权律师居然没有人敢杀他。。。 或者说做过没成功吧。
这世界本就是弱肉强食，但是也不能为此就放弃朋友啊。
粗糙直给，无敌光环，镰刀锄头为人民，真-公义爽片。即便过往的文化历史如何漆黑，在一个允许正义发生的土地上，总有着希望。数十年后，不知我们是否也可以挖掘拍摄那些当下被抹去名字的本土左翼律师们
恶搞了一些经典剧和现在比较流行的漫才艺人，很有趣啊。有些道理和话束虽然听起来千篇一律，但是当风间和小新的对白一出来我还是哗哗流泪了。“你说的什么我根本听不懂啊”我是个笨蛋，我是个相信我们友谊永远不会变的超级大笨蛋，但你依然爱着我，你觉得我的心就是精英。风间和小新的cp我可以嗑一万年。
底层人民真的太惨了，就像被权力脏手扼住了咽喉，他们呼救无门，他们拼命挣扎，他们痛到窒息。这不是励志片，这是恐怖片！更可怕的是，时至今日，仍有「印度一桩谋杀案关键证物被猴子偷走」这样的新闻
印度版辩护人，能拍出这样的电影，至少让那些底层人民看得到一丝曙光。
直击20世纪90年代印度阶级社会不平等现象，揭露其阶级优越性和黑金政治相融合的劣根性问题。佩鲁马尔萨米：“为了坚持民主，总得有某些时代的人成为独裁者，这是真理。”冠冕堂皇，美其名曰，大言不惭。威胁，恐吓，伪造案件，民主的外衣掩盖不了执法暴力的本质。还好他还有良知，还好正义只是迟到，不是缺席。
杰伊比姆是光，杰伊比姆是爱，杰伊比姆是黑暗通向光明的道路，杰伊比姆是数百万人眼角的泪水。
除了這部，印度的電影院還出現了同志片，這就是差距。
大家都以为只是一周体验，而其实是风间为了能和大家一直在一块而做的计划。尽管后面风间成了屁娃，还是会关注小新的动态，在他危险时及时出现。我真的会为他们两人的感情爆哭😭😭春日部防卫队forever！！ AI一旦有了思想，真的是超乎想象的可怕，到片尾不禁不寒而栗，在AI完成人类需求的过程中，它还只是个帮手的角色吗？人类很可能像片中那样迷失自我被它主宰啊！虽然预料到了大boss，但后期还是有很多意想不到的反转，比如第33届老大的真容等等😎
看了这部片子觉得印度是有希望的，更加尊敬印度。
下边都烂成这样了，上边还一脸惊愕。
致敬每一位为底层人民奋斗的英雄，致敬每一个推广赞美这种行为的艺术家
好看！！后半期超级好看！！结尾也很棒！
印度又一部“正义扳倒邪恶”的主旋律电影。电影背后的真实案例令人肃然起敬，但近年来多部印度主旋律对观众已然再无新意，超过2.5小时的时长以及缓慢的故事推进，硬撑着看完。结尾也是一贯的流俗结尾…感觉一段时间内不想再看印度电影
居然还不错哎 第一次完整看完蜡笔小新的电影版 实际上剧集也没怎么看过 发现野原新之助同学真的某种意义上很成熟呢 友情亲情爱情社会元素去轮番出现 再加上屁屁搞笑 还挺有趣的（和珊和大家
印度这个国家总可以把现实事件拍成电影，讽刺，探讨。但是他们又不整改，然后就会有源源不断的事件发生，接着就是源源不断的电影。
最近看印度片，因为此片的关系。其实，我已经很克制，不太发朋友圈或者跟朋友提现实里那些不公的事情，因为会被他们归结了“负能量”。为什么你不能阳光一些，谈论和分享美好的事情。也许，不想被疏离，不想被他们说：“为什么你总是说一些负面的事情，看难过的电影听悲伤的歌！”于是我学会不再分享，不是我冷血，我依旧关心这些。在莫管他人瓦上霜的环境里，心中保持一团火吧！这确实不是一部令人舒适的电影，我停了好几次，但不得不感叹印度片的商业纯熟，压抑中给你一道光，让你能继续看下去。
印度电影终于发展到了直面种姓制度的这一天了
