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".
有一些镜头真的唯美中充满着苍凉
《云霄之上》入围第十一届北京国际电影节，获得三项大奖一一最佳影片、最佳摄影奖；最佳男主角颁给了《云霄之上》的所有男演员。🏆
调色画面都很不错，但是求求影院把灯泡调亮好吗？！！恰钱放着不达标的IMAX不心痛吗？
很遗憾，装逼没装到我的审美点上，所以三星。不过有一点还是比较认同，真正的战死大都是悄无声息的，不会像吴京那样大喊大叫好几次。
片子有想法，挺大胆，但在我这不算成功。挺喜欢摄影的质感，影像的情绪和氛围有了，但完全不会讲故事，节奏一塌糊涂。整体不算差，不过能拿数个重要奖项不敢苟同。
幻觉部分水里还有埋小哨子那里拍出来恐怖片的感觉魔幻现实
美院作品，观感很好。美术和场景调度都很好，适配度高，画面细节做得也比较到位。整个氛围营造得有紧张感，将抗战题材打造得很类型化艺术化，我喜欢。不过，表演、台词、配音、声音处理都确实比较差。
不过本身脸盲的我实在没记住人，说不上完全看懂故事……
大放异彩的点很多，技法渲出来的氛围极佳，深层的恐惧和动摇的信念用潮湿与窒息的调调透过荧幕传给观众再移情回人物。好几场的意识流拍法/剪法是名副其实的华彩［真的很难相信国内战争片能做到这样］，水下几场/几个手部特写/最后的那场血雨属实赚足好感。关于“敌人”的塑造也能看出主创抛弃传统叙事的想法，他们可以不是人，他们是阴影，是昭示死亡和仇恨的东西。这显然不是聊个人英雄咋咋咋，而是战争对于人本身心智的摧残
黑白电影决定着这是一部纯粹的艺术电影，不含一点商业元素。为数不多的有色彩画面是送饭的为数不多的治愈画面。诗性的水墨画风格，画面很美，确有国美风格。
后半小时睡着了 我不懂艺术 不懂诗电影 我只觉得画面太暗 配音不伦不类 剧情一整个稀碎 // 两星给镜头 太美了 不愧是国美
画面很美，意境很高，水下镜头更好看，不用低饱和调色也能表达这些，可能是为了让断肢不那么血腥。
导演想突破战争美学，但是不晓得他想过没有为啥战争片不这样拍。剧情看的我一头雾水，主要是谁是谁，谁在干嘛真的让脸盲的我混乱无措。算是一种美学尝试，在低预算下导演也努力了，加油吧
有些地方设立的挺有诗意，比如血雨，洪启辰的精神恍惚，看见了自己并且杀死了自己。但是整体比较乏味无聊，所以中间我看得有点犯困，色彩处理得并不是很好。
看得出是大影节最喜欢的风格了，对于人物心理的刻画很绝，区别于战狼系的燃炸爽，全程心都是被揪着拧着疼着，审美很高级，镜头直怼的时刻演员的微表情也都可以hold得住。中国美术学院对于“美”的拿捏还是很到位。姚安娜的方言说得不错，演得也没掉链子，不管是不是带资进组，这次交出的答卷肯定是合格的。
最后的血雨很有张力 影片的音乐音效很不错 但内容并非印象深刻
气质独特的主旋律，至少表现了一些真正的影像气质而不是迎合市场的简单表达。很难不让人想起1917，但是在硬件上不免显得简陋了些。
也不是难看…就是画面摄影什么形式上看起来还可以，就是…不好说
真正意义上的“灾难”片，所有的无脑文艺片元素堆砌在一起也无法掩饰叙事的失败，所谓的“诗意”不是调低饱和度就能建构起来的，无处不在的烟雾没有多大意义，只能说明剧组一氧化碳储量丰富。人物的塑造极其扁平，演技更是加重了人物突兀。配乐和方言更是无力吐槽。所谓48个小时的计划倒是如同合算证明一样迎合了当今时代的主题，意味着多了一分钟就会被赋“红”码，如果从这个角度解读，得个最佳影片倒也合适。
看睡着了两次…节奏有点慢，然后前面卖惨后面又开挂…就…不行啊
