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".
当人与人没了沟通，对陌生人就会产生天然的不信任。
真相…
其实我比较伤心的是，小狗狗肯定会和芬奇一样死去，那杰夫怎么办啊
任何一个国家如何对待弱势，体力弱势、情感弱势、乃至地位弱势的人，那就是一个国家文明的底线。可是之类的电影看到太多了，尤其是韩国日本印度，却对于社会没有太多进步，仍然是女性权利最低的几个国家。不禁沮丧，电影能救个狗X啊。
我依然坚持，为了整个社会和司法秩序，我们必须遵守的是程序正义。实体正义可能见仁见智，追求和还原真相、绝对的正义也难如登天，因此我们所能保证的底线是程序的正义，程序正义和手段的正当性可最大的限度避免更多损失。如同河流那样，一次不公正的审判，包括对私刑的容忍和美化是从源头上污染水流。而绝对的「正义」又将和「公正」相区别，更倾向于人们内心的道德判断，但后者却是将个人与社会利益最大化的选择。片中涉及许多社科类议题例如媒体审判、政治歧视以及对人道主义的探讨。影片缺点也有例如全篇情绪铺得太满、刑事拘留嫌犯不必戴手铐等。但退一万步说，在这样一片土地，敢揭露、用某种运动的形式、甚至质疑种姓制度，台词「一个国家的尊严，就等同于它给女性的尊严」「让提出问题的人闭嘴的政治，让指责的人戴上手铐的政治」还是好事
反转推动情绪，情绪转化力量。别人的远见，文化的坚持，勇敢的冲劲，摆在那里，不得不服啊！
结尾差点意思，总体来说很不错，看完了能引发人的思考。
“你去看世界了吗？” “…总是有各种各样的阻碍，健康、工作、妈妈、世界末日，还有…我只是一直没找到机会。”
当媒体不是传播真相而是制造舆论成为权利作恶的工具时，每一个推波助澜的平民都是权利的帮凶。幸运的是，印度平民手里还有选票，每一次的清醒都让他们更加成熟。
ET+Wall-E+末世余生，以汤姆汉克斯的气场在，不需要其他演员😂。
属实是给我看笑了，虽然知道每一步要表达什么，但这也走的太笨拙了；全片除了导师压榨博士那一段，没有一处像是超过10岁的人写的
世界末日再可怕也可怕不过生老病死，所以我们要尽情享受每一天的阳光啊！
男主开头生活环境不错，还能制造高端人工智能！可是为了尘暴和情怀突然出走，途中回忆狗的由来，快到目的地了，紫外线又不强了！逻辑不通畅，缺乏说服力，一度想打低星。又想到，将死之人，行为逻辑可以理解。不禁感叹，这个人工智能，真好啊！！！！
总体观感不如杰伊比姆。反转还是很多，副督察从正义到邪恶再到良心发现，瘸腿律师从出场看着像个正派，说话像个反派，抽丝剥茧还原了副督察给的真相。新闻媒体和警察操纵了真相，程序正义的重要性。
最后的革命万岁太燃了！尽然在印度电影里看到了希望！反转再反转再反转，印度神作绝不会让你失望，总是会感觉诚意满满！看了整部电影除了剧情非常抓人，让人赞不绝口外，仿佛用一部电影一日游浅浅了解了整个印度。
电影揭露了一通他们体质的弊端，可最后的结果是消灭这万恶的体质吗？不是的！
由性犯罪到学阀制下的学术垄断，抽丝剥茧却原来都是政治的筹码，法庭陈述还请诸位对照观看，看的我是无味杂陈、肝气郁结。是什么时候左邻与右舍开始甩开我们，叩问反思、揭露针砭，谁是宿敌？正义，还是tm的正义；人民，还是tm的人民！
社恐福利，适合一个人看的公路片。二十年后，陪伴他的从排球变成了机器人。汤姆•汉克斯，从阿甘一路跑来，见证了帝国的衰落。
由性犯罪到学阀制下的学术垄断，抽丝剥茧却原来都是政治的筹码，法庭陈述还请诸位对照观看，看的我是无味杂陈、肝气郁结。是什么时候左邻与右舍开始甩开我们，叩问反思、揭露针砭，谁是宿敌？正义，还是tm的正义；人民，还是tm的人民！
同时信任也是生命力的根基。有个词，叫“生无可恋”，反过来说，也意味着，有可恋才是生的意义。所以人们才要通过各种方式——或感情或物质，或人性或神性——创造人生的意义，而这个过程就是去信任，信任“生有可恋”，我们才不会干涸。
