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".
看到一半就猜出那个人是女主的后半脑了。到后面真一点悬念都没。
從頭到尾一氣呵成
bug多了点，剧本套路了点但创意大满足！节奏很好特别是那段追逐戏，不愧是温子仁。三星半
2.0。1.詹姆斯温标志性的剧情反转，标志性的惊悚氛围营造，在这样一部网大型的片子里荡然无存。2.室内俯拍长镜头和局里打戏长镜头都是亮点，但也被玩烂。
终于不是制片挂名，是导演了！挂名的基本都不太行，都是概念不错，正片稀烂。导演的作品基本都有保证，如果温子仁的恐怖片都不行，那么恐怖片基本就绝种了。
不是???哈哈哈，前面意大利式铅黄恐怖惊悚与诡异+各种反转，中后部分突然揭示真相，柯南伯格式肉体血腥变异的畸形寄生虫连体双胞胎大开杀戒，但莫名喜感。
剧情不顺，但这个想法在身体变形为主导的恐怖片流派里是很有新意的，温子仁总得有点东西嘛
男主居然是80年的，还以为是新出道的小鲜肉。全篇唯一被吓一跳的地方，是妹妹爬窗找姐姐的那里
我觉得至少7分吧，故事很精彩啊，可能因为温子仁导演大家期待值比较高，也因为大部分人可能看的是爱奇艺删减版。前半集的确稍显温吞也不够恐怖，但gabriel身份揭开的瞬间还是看的我虎躯一震，可惜的是最高能的点出现早了点。最后一直蹲一手小反转结果就结束了…
21_161。从“某”开始攻击监狱和警察局时那画面就变得好笑起来，看着他那身板飞来飞去对不起画面实在是变得滑稽起来。前半还是好看的，悬念做得好，效果也够刺激
回归中小成本，铅黄氛围，新鲜玩法。双生变体潜移默化。★★★☆/7.5
C / 怎么说呢，又爽又气吧，整合致敬各种恐怖亚类型元素，幻像-真实场景-录影带的多重媒介，以及后半反转后的寄生畸胎出现，几处室内空间调度，挪用动作电影的警局屠杀确实能enjoy到。但是整部电影的惊吓感来源于廉价的jump scare堆砌，镜头摇移+怪异声响+灯光闪烁。剧情不合理之处比招魂整个系列都多，形同漫威宇宙般在电影里做起了挖坑填坑的弱智行为。
美利坚到底是多么地广人稀
中段之后变成了杀手电影，就非常有趣了；那个动作设计难度颇高，不知是怎么完成的。非常非常优秀，温子仁又进步了
温子仁对惊吓的熟练把控让这部电影不至于沦为一部平庸的作品，只是再也找不到当年看《电锯惊魂》那样的惊喜了。
温子仁电影里的亲情虽然都非常cheesy但还是能哄到我的。
室内运镜玩得溜，还玩了把透视性的天花板俯拍镜头。但配乐用得有点over了。
拍完一系列大片后的温子仁在运镜上明显又上了一个b格，对于密闭空间紧张感的营造已达炉火纯青之境。前半段还是熟悉的温式诡异味道，各种招魂系恐怖元素穿插，带进惊慌失措的惊吓节奏里，最终又回落在家庭与救赎的情感上。至于后半段的爽感主要来自老式b级片那种最直观的血浆、砍杀（一定要看未删减版），所以过分去扣反转的细节反而会缺失该有的乐趣，千万不要带着看《招魂》的眼光去看待它，当成一部超英向惊悚片，你会直呼一句：真tm爽！
3.8分。
仿佛从《黑客帝国》穿越到《双瞳》的一个恐怖动作片，有人说是冰雪奇缘也没毛病。女性角色很多，也很给力，有些场面确实很震撼，但有时候又觉得很滑稽。从评论里看到了不下十部电影被提及，也说明本片是个大杂烩，我来总结一下这片，用阴风阵阵的滤镜拍摄了一个关于冰雪姐妹花的黑客帝国式的动作片最后用了双瞳的结局。
