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".
服装不出彩，首饰不出彩，布景不出彩，选角不出彩。
8.7 还是有些过度沉溺于技术层面了，真正能让观众和黛安娜共情的段落几乎没有，观众始终被放在旁观者的位置无法进入，当然摄影和美术确实很戳我就是了。
幸好期望不大，失望也没多大，和导演前作《第一夫人》如出一辙，匠气十足，但却又平庸至极，导演为什么如此热衷拍这么有挑战性的题材呢？《第一夫人》里起码娜塔莉波特曼还能hold得住，但是到了《斯宾塞》，emm…小k演得还行，但我是看不出她演得和戴安娜王妃又有啥关系。影片中的脸部特写对小K很不友好，小K本来就不擅长控制脸部情绪，这样一整并没有拍出戴安娜的敏感脆弱，反而更加坐实了小k是美国“郑爽”的事实。还有小k的讲话是真不讨喜，太刻意了，影片也只有她安静地跳舞部分算是比较出彩。总的来说成片也就配乐和画面还行，其他不敢恭维，虽然我没看完《王冠》，但是我也能感受到这部电影和《王冠》相比差的可不是那一点半点
戴安娜是精致牢笼里的囚鸟，斯宾塞才是她渴望的自由。ps：美术好评，有点韦斯安德森内味了。
您也不至于拍成三流心理惊悚神经病片吧，而且一切都太工整和安全了。
4.5⁵
小kk演得不错，将戴妃的脆弱、压抑、渴望自由的挣扎表现地很到位，全片基调沉郁，结尾的逃逸才显得弥足珍贵，给了戴妃也给了观众一息爽朗的自由空气。小k神颜依旧，Chanel服装超美，安吉表白时戴妃难掩的惊喜神情蛮出戏的，二人变身小k本人和苏，嘤嘤嘤
3.散装的故事，显而易见到每一个行为每一句话都在凸显反抗主题，太刻意，主题也单调
小K大型时装秀，人是美的，但演技真的很扭捏很做作。
切片式传记电影，胜在风格化上，摄影非常出色。
戴安娜真的总迟到吗?那女王脾气还真挺好的~。
恐怖片…
#R# 3.3分。高期待下失望，可能也是我近期很没耐心。镜头总在凝视着，等着克里斯汀饰演的黛安娜情绪越来越失控…… 我明白但这太像克里斯汀的表演秀了（即使这极度接近保镖眼中的黛安娜），至少让我感觉黛安娜是如此的“有特权”可以被这么盯着；所以一度感觉自己完全受够了。相反，皇室繁文缛节中的非人性、和那个管家的“劝慰”或者体贴反而是一个真正更好的切入口。另外，幽冥感很强的部份（还有后半程机位随着克里斯汀大幅度运动的那里）感觉也好很多。
氛围情绪都到了 情节有点一般 但是能有那种感同身受的悲伤与窒息 加一星吧
事实上是完成了一次《闪灵》的再造，空洞的大宅、幽灵、梦境与幻象。爵士鼓点与运动长镜思及《鸟人》——相同的焦虑感。沉稳的封闭性空间构图以及在戴安娜的近景与特写镜头中不安分的摄影运动，嵌套的蒙太奇确实加强了阶级与皇室贵族的限制力量，戴安娜强烈的渴望挣脱牢笼的冲动同样在观众这里得到了感受，直至最后我才意识到这是一个发生在90年代的故事。可将问题的解决与自我家族血统的认同相联系的处理方式似乎感觉略微轻浮。最后，克里斯汀的表演始终是没能深入到我的内心。她很卖力了，但遗憾就遗憾在我看出了她的卖力。
无非是弄了个话题度高的题材来捧戏子罢了，都知道传记片最好拿影后，为了捧戏子把戴安娜挖出来消费一番你们良心不痛吗，看了那么多年电影从没见过一部传记片没有一个角色长得跟本体有像的，到底是在糊弄观众还是怕被皇室告啊。k也出道了这么多年了，演技并没有什么长足的进步，演来演去还是一张欠债脸啊……
对我而言，几乎所有弱化故事和人物行动线，不断放大人物细微情绪的拍摄模式，都是导演在提醒：电影实质是声画运动。
看之前期望值超低。本身没有很喜欢Kristen，看trailer也觉得她演的有点做作。结果看了全片觉得其实演的挺好的，那种有点夸张，神经质，略显做作的表情都是电影整体风格的一部分。电影就是拍出一种处处都透着压抑诡异扭曲的气氛。而且很多意识流的片段，大篇幅的近景特写，都蛮考验演员的信念感的。看完对她的演技有所改观。唯一一点感觉可以把在人前表演的再端庄大方一点，就更符合戴安娜的公众形象。
困兽之斗，克里斯汀·斯图尔特的表演很棒。王室的刻板传统和婚姻的不幸让她喘不过气来，最后的驾车飞驰逃离禁锢很解压了。
演员标签还是很重，感觉看完后对黛安娜更不了解了，她的痛苦、孤独充斥着整个片子，非常用力的描述她的痛苦、压抑，反而显得很不真实，其他人（皇室）的反应近乎于雕塑，毫无人味，这很不对，香奈儿花了大价钱吧。
