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".
清一水的好评真太诡异了，这绝不是普罗大众都喜欢的风格，我知道他们想表达什么，至于表达方式实在是来不动，几度想离场
无语评说，激赞！这灵性水准，在影史上也可谓数一数二。但文无第一，且说它不虚任何作品好了，但这真真是绝对的“金字塔尖”作品——闪耀着天狼星璀璨之光。最可贵的是，创作者绝不是懵懂的内在探索者，而是实打实的宇宙悟道者，绝对的光之子。堪称巴夏40年传导的大型宣传片，撒花。灵性电影已不少见，可如此毫无谬误，毫无低频振动且毫不掩盖光之传导意图却依旧打动人心且如此富有娱乐性/地推性的还是头一遭。毕竟阿凡达还要披着奇幻特效的外衣，这个就差把“人即神”写在脸上了，事实上，还真把一切都在此时此地同时发生，黑底白字打在了屏幕上，勇！那一瞬，我真的仿佛听到了宇宙中所有光之存有们集体的欢呼声。我之前说，和平卫士是灵性电影天花板，我错了！错在灵性从无天花板！这不是天马行空，这是独角兽！
导演的自嗨宇宙。核心创意像《千年女优》，母女关系的部分处理的毫不打动人，中间还夹杂着毫无必要的导演恶趣味。
但「妈的多元宇宙」不一样，它像是你进了家中餐馆，发现主厨是一老外，但做的味道特别正。你叫老外过来问咋回事，老外字正腔圆地用中文回答：操XX的，我他X是拆腻斯。我不光做，我还把你们丫的那些糟粕改良了呢。
讲真，绕这么大一个圈，只为了讲母女关系的和解，真没必要，母女矛盾也不必上升到宇宙空间才能引起注意吧，何况故事讲得还不咋地。
Just be a rock如果在这里结束就好了
花里胡哨的塑料感，让我想起儿时崇拜的金句大师贾志新说过的，我不管她本质怎么样，这现象我受不了。我管这种电影叫海王电影，搞得太多，却不负责。
屎一样的美式政治正确，女同，肥胖，华裔，夹杂着恶俗的黄色段子，最后莫名其妙的爱与救赎。
你们看的时候真的不会产生生理不适吗？感受不到rh吗？
Jobu Tupaki牵着小猪出场那段把我迷住了，她就像汤浅政明的动画角色。
被爱的前提是值得被爱，明明是个一无是处的人没有任何吸引别人的点，却要对影自怜假模假式地对抗世界。在现实中女儿这种屌丝是没可能碰到基友那种瞎猫的，出了柜还不考虑外公身体状况硬着脖子要官宣，不是nt？
ps：这个电影确实不够好，前期的节奏很乱，很让人找不着头绪，剪掉一大半甚至不影响主线。所以我没有打六颗星。
你们看的时候真的不会产生生理不适吗？感受不到rh吗？
而这个世界里，你没有用超能力，你也没有用钞能力，你解决了你最想要解决的烦心事。
感动？
BTW，这他妈才叫多重宇宙！蜘蛛侠三什么垃圾，真是验证了什么叫全靠同行衬托
拥有如此极致的想象力的人，难道想不出更新颖的主题？不是因为想不出，而是因为，爱是唯一的答案。
去那个黑洞不好吗？不去看看咋知道好不好呢 拜托了 让我们都去那个黑洞吧 (这也是唯一看下去的动力
我经历过无数的宇宙，体验所有比眼前更好的人生，也看尽了所有可能性，但我没有因此归于虚无，而是更加愿意为我当下的生活而勇敢，仍然愿意成为你的母亲。
