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".
是有一点点汉尼拔的感觉，但有没有汉尼拔那么优雅，剧情上也有不合理的。为啥要切女主屁股。。。
就会消融你头上的云涛。
感觉没有生吃好看……女主有点像五十度灰的那个
别相信任何约会软件。
结尾真的是绝了😂，一言难尽。完全没有解释为什么？唯一忠告大概就是不要恋爱脑
帅哥可能会吃了你。可以和《支离破碎》对着看。有钱老头吃女孩，联想到《逃出绝命镇》。太拖沓了，控制在90分钟以内还行。
开头女主把相亲过程中大龄单身女种种尴尬、奇葩经历呈现的不错，应该很多女生都对这种疲惫而拧巴深有体会吧。然后塞巴饰演的低配版汉尼拔闪亮登场，看似聪明强大残忍冷酷，从剧情暗示看，应该还切过妻子的腿，但最后又仁慈地留了妻子一命，让她生育了两个男孩。这样一个人设背景的大反派，居然是个恋爱脑，单纯到被情感小白的女主耍的团团转，这…。影片立意很好，传统男权社会对女人的剥削是全方位的，吃人不吐骨头的。但若要论剧情深度，还是看美剧里拔叔和小茶杯调情吧。
刚刚看完，超级超级感动的电影，每个人都演的很好，强推，电影院里大家一起又哭又笑的，哈哈哈哈哈哈
真的很难看。。。莫名其妙的地方很多。。。期待越高失望越大
“我只是觉得相信真爱的人好蠢！”Je sais pas，我刚好就属于Noa这种人，可惜刚说完这话没多久她就被打脸了！
矛盾的解决稍微lazy writing了一些，过于容易意料到了；在性别元素上也过于对立且直白，并不是故事真的需要的，否则能去四星半。三星半吧。
有点恐怖的。真的。我觉得还是值得一看的。弱势群体本来就应该站在一起，而不是为恶助力。
穿着恐怖片外衣的“远离渣男”宣传片，看得出来导演的视听语言确实精湛，很多大胆且“新鲜”的段落带来了远不同于同类型恐怖片的观感。但是，这个剧本吧…前半个小时简直就是从《故事》里跳出来的“把类型常规拍成陈词滥调”的典范，后面的情节确实极尽恶心，但戏剧冲突也不是很强，翻来覆去就那么些事，剧本不够视听来凑了属于是。最后二十分钟的“反击”桥段简直不能更出人意料了，而且都2202年了，怎么还有人在恐怖片里干掉反派不补刀啊，怎么还有人单独行动啊…我真是服了😤两星半，不能更多了，不过导演水平还可以，换一个好本子应该能拍出点东西。
等奇异的晨光一旦升起，
女主好看。整体有点惊悚，引发生理不适。饭前饭后慎看。2022.03.13
时代报告电影 只能这样了吗 就这本子 演员们太不容易了 全靠演员撑 致敬所有演员 辛苦了你们～
精彩全在结尾10分钟，前面的铺垫太长了。黑人小哥最后那个觉悟真是太搞笑了，一看不对脚底抹油！
所以，人变态到一定程度就会吃人，而且觉得美味；
由塞巴斯主演的艾米汉莫传并不枯燥，尽管先前看过诸多同类型题材作品。这也是唯一一部吃人电影给我看出食欲的，不知道我有没有问题。塞老师始终无法诠释出该有的变态感，我总是在他脸上看出阳光大男孩的温暖。电影深层的表现要更加吓人，被剥削吃肉的女性和享受狩猎的上层男性甚至被同化的女性，即使她们看到了剥削者的死亡依然如傀儡般活着继续压迫同类。当然夸张的电影表现是一回事，但真的别太快上头太快上床，爱又不着急做更不着急谈，一时上头成了晚饭就不好了。
这个套路早就看过了，怎么看怎么觉得不fresh，不过开头还是惊艳到我了，三十分钟过后伴着被下药的迷幻音乐和特效渐渐浮起的字幕真不错，个人感觉血腥程度不够，汉尼拔比它强太多，反派还是那么天真地被美女反杀，也挺不出乎意料的。
