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".
摄影挺好的，破案的片子拍出这种感觉少见，有点太文艺了，节奏再快点好了。
色调构图和取景故作文艺，但根本的剧本台词寡淡无味故作矫情
这也太虎头蛇尾了，前期塑造了这么一个无视规则的反派，结果所谓的开战就这？少了第一部大叔们撑场面，年轻演员演技、气场不足的问题一下子全暴露出来了。唯二两点，龙谷源治附体得主角，铃木的反派，看完才反应过来是那个变态假面，这个演员是个宝藏。
悬疑是外壳，这是一部诚意十足的剧情片啊。在最后的舞台上，严华看着林音的感觉一切文字都无法形容，光凭这一场戏，这部电影就已经无法被时间抹去它的价值。
非常喜欢这种带有时代特色、时代印记的罪案电影，那种九十年代甚至稍早的社会风貌，给人以真实感，风格也是趋于沉稳，不浮夸，倒叙的手法，总而言之，质量过关。
果然年轻学人玩制衡，都是一厢情愿的。还没练就老奸巨猾 又舍弃了年轻热血，不尴不尬的年纪，不温不火的时代。需要一些出格的刺激和别有用心的安排才能引人耳目。至此，系列已从昭和转至平成，再往下拍不下去了。因为令和的精致和内敛已容不下来自遥远昭和年代的粗犷和跋扈了。
比较良心的作品，细节处理虽然不足，但是比网大流水线作品还是稍微用心了的，值得给个四星。
7分 部分动作的血腥设计的不错 但除此外不如第一集 有没有役所广司还是有差距的
节奏很好，也有一些“商业片”的元素，自己看完觉得是bug的几处看影评也讲清楚了。确实是网大里的五星。
明知道上林是个疯子，不以暴制暴，非要讲道理，这不是自找苦吃吗。枪法确实需要多练练
很好的续集，暗黑杨宗纬还有sl500大白奔驰！
输在了剧本的电影，编剧不停的在制造反转但到最后又拍成了一黑一白两个人回合制这样的烂俗桥段。男主看似胸有成竹但其实只要有一点风吹草动立刻崩盘，每次看起来想要谋划些什么但总是棋差一招，松坂桃李演技有进步但是比起役所广司差距还是太大。村上虹郎不错，缺个一番电影证明自己。西野七濑就不说了…没有一个人的戏是她接的住的。可惜，两星半。
片长和节奏，好像一个人写文章，一直用同样的笔调和语气，磨磨唧唧地写了好长好长，看得好累！所有角色说话都语重心长，都好似背着一副重担又要说出几句极富深意的道理来。构想不错，bug太大，逻辑不通顺。
上半场对脸盲患者极不友好。硬伤肯定有，别往文艺上靠，别煽情，但拍得比较努力，还是支持！
比第一部差远了，除了年轻人颜值说法外。背景布置得很好的舞台剧。
主演跟着《孤狼》一起变2了，就传承个打火机？
变态杀人魔疯子，是真的残暴。警察黑帮勾结，小人物誓死捍卫心中正义！
建议松坂桃李这个发型半永久（他妈的铃木亮平实在是太吓人了！
“世间众生百相，哪条路好像都能走，但你只能选择做一种人，无论成为谁，都需要勇气。”
7-7.5。很暴力很有冲击感。铃木亮平演技吊打所有人，村上虹郎表现相当亮眼，西野去做个花瓶吧，不要有感情波动的戏份就好，不然太毁气氛了。
