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".
梗很多，反讽很多，感觉这部剧观影群众会分化为get到梗的，和一脸懵逼的，两个极端
三演员带两孩子，拍成这样不算难看。而且要素多，囚禁、逃生、家庭、温情等等，麻雀虽小五脏俱全。属于小微成本电影里比较成功的。
其实顶多三星。就是女主比较漂亮，女孩比较可爱☺
不得不说，网飞在给创作者自由度这方面，真的太出色了！疫情期间，电影圈确实不容易，但网飞却推出了《不要抬头》《泡泡剧组》这两部特别的作品，让人印象太深！
so ludicrous that its kinda brilliant.
20220602 周四 19:52 只能说我是为了vincent而看的他，他现在是不是已经不混电影圈啦，多久没看见他有作品了，都已经60岁了呢，在戏里演人渣而且他奇奇怪怪的出场又莫名其妙的死去，哎呀！女主有点像Alexa chung，不过演技好差！我想说苹果坏了一般即使保留了一半好的部分其实它也是烂的了。
从头扯到尾，但还是挺好笑的。隔离有那么难忍吗，多开心呀。打恐龙的台词真的太好笑了，跟那种电影里的模式一模一样！！
女主的演技太尴尬了吧…最后那么多钱也不要也有点生硬了，毕竟有钱才能住上房，才能给子女创造养育条件啊！
虽然质量一般。但同样是网大，这么一个网大的cg效果都要比国内制作最好的网大感觉还要好一些🥲国内的电影工业到底在干嘛。
除了调侃疫情还是有些共鸣，剩下就是太扯了，太扯了。
片尾曲wings of stone
作为囚禁片剧情方面没有太大硬伤，节奏和人物塑造也是比较稳的，但是逃出来后的结尾部分处理得不好。
还挺好笑的，整个过程都散发着一种累了毁灭吧的气息，所有人从一开始故作坚强应对到全线崩溃到瞎搞一气都还挺自然。
古古怪怪，神里神经，不过有的点还是莫名其妙的好笑
两部电影共通点是歌能听…
为啥会有惊悚的标签？这能算惊悚片？反正我是感受不到惊悚，只能把影片当犯罪剧情片来看。关于剧情，我只想问一个问题，为啥女主试过萨米不动了后，没有进一步采取行动？应该试鼻息啊，如果死了那就无所谓，如果只是昏迷，必须把萨米绑起来啊，毕竟昏迷还是会醒的。没死你还不管了，这是啥思维？不安正常人思维行动的啊，或者去搜萨米的手机，打给警察不好吗？影片质量一般，分值在及格线上下浮动是合理的，我给3星5.7分，删掉！
开始觉得很好笑很傻逼酒店隔离哪有那么糟 越看到公司不惜一切手段只管完成电影越他妈笑不出来 尤其是制片人说了“the show must go on”这句熟悉的话之后 感觉跟2020年学校对待我们的态度差不多吧 太真实 ptsd了 制片公司=我校 本来是因为Pedro看的 看完只想说James McAvoy can chase and tackle me any day🥵🥵
众星云集的沙雕无厘头喜剧，很久没看过这种类型的电影了，五点几分真的少了，只能说这种类型不符合大多国人口味
密室逃脱型的片子，女主最后反杀，宗教的寓意很明显，基本全程无尿点，值得三星，可以一看。
本来真的很期待看皮皮演喜剧，但成片真是太差劲了我现在整个人养胃状态
