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".
比《星战7》更蹩脚的重启，充其量也就是个网大的体量，浮夸的自我吐槽把系列的史诗感透支掉，所要探讨的哲学内核充其量也只能算是势力内卷。当年John wick会致敬matrix台词，如今matrix需要致敬john wick，我真的不想看到基努里维斯继续消耗这点个人IP了，不要拍三部曲了，球球了。
这确定不是为了让《超感八人》的演员在大荧幕上露脸而拍的同人？
Imax沉浸式观影效果的确灵
毫无新意的炒冷饭。不过倒是发现了《黑客帝国》和EVA的相似处：矩阵重启≈人类补完计划。基努·李维斯饰演的尼奥满是疲态，相反女主角崔妮蒂，则凸显了呼应时代主题的女性力量。印象颇深的一段，是她带着尼奥在天上飞，虽然令人喷饭，但联想到的却是歌德的诗句：永恒之女性，指引我们向上（笑）。
解构的段落太长了，十分消耗耐心。为什么大导演们都喜欢跟观众剖析自己啊，咱可以把这个留纪录片里么（此处@庵野老贼）？不过对老粉来说还是值得一看，BE多年的赛博世界意难平妈的居然HE了，这他妈真的值得平安夜开冰酒庆祝。Trinity永远我女神，私心以为这是基努最适合的银幕情侣，脆弱男子就需要坚韧且散发着母性光辉的另一半拯救啊
John Wick惊醒 发现一切都是自己在养伤时看黑客帝国三部曲后做的一场梦 活着就像不停刮彩票 永远都不知道会刮出些什么来
真真像是致敬前三步曲拍摄的外传作品，甚至包括官方我吐槽我我自己拍摄第四部本身行为，这很酷。但是剧情“跑偏了”？爱不仅可以穿越虚拟现实，还能穿越一切吧。
肉眼可见的“导演告诉观众我真的不想拍这一部你们将就看一下就好了”，很多关键角色都被省略或替代，加上时不时闪回的镜头，直接破坏了回忆和现有叙事，当然，最主要还是故事的讲述和动作的设计上相比三部曲没有新意了，更多是给情怀影迷的一种安慰大餐吧。
爱你老去依然美丽的容颜，拼长度反正超过《Before Sunrise》三部曲了（还挺感人）
烂到我都忘了标记了。开头meta的部分还能看，后面就彻底是煎熬了。"巴尼叔叔"能加点分，最后一场里他就"巴尼叔叔"。
小时候看黑客帝国，没想到如今真成了程序员，还是人工智能相关。是不是当时埋下的种子呢。从没往这方面想过，却不知不觉走上了这条路。
不错啊，这不比隔壁永恒族好看多了惹，小乔来演Smith实在是太棒了好嘛
基努•里维斯一出场，有种John Wick乱入《黑客帝国》的感觉。龌蹉斯基与华纳互撕，她赌气拍片显得很酷这种行为并不能给影片加分，因为即使她使出真本事，这部影片大概率也会扑街。至于现在这个科幻巨作被拍成了中年男人去营救已婚情人的狗血剧，估计也只有龌蹉斯基想得出来。
虽然降低了期待但还是失望，史密斯这个角色没有立住，不仅是演员，给他的台词就太肤浅了。
由《超感猎杀》原班最强阵容打酱油，也是有生之年了。
杰西卡亨利李的精彩个人秀，她是新生代的trinity
的确是另辟蹊径（套娃式）的续集重启，不过就这么玩经典场面cos串烧吃老本吃到嗨，也无怪落得个粉丝不买账、路人一脸懵的局面，两位主演也被岁月镌刻得疲态尽显。。
这拍的都是啥，俩姐妹为了嘲笑华纳搞的喜剧嘛？喜剧也不合格。就各种为了凑剧情瞎编，都看睡着了。拍这种垃圾电影真的太浪费各种资源！！
小乔这么甜，怎么比得了一脸凶相的Hugo🙊
不玩哲学概念了，直接换成伦理是非，是把三部曲的哲学内核庸俗化了，难怪会被骂狗尾续貂。不过也自嘲过了，那就纯当情怀片。三部曲依然yyds。
