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".
要素齐全，代入感强烈。审讯室父子对峙、母亲送衣等几幕都看得人后颈发凉。感觉算是minor group题材里挺出挑的片子了(¿

4.5 质感非常好 才知道波兰原来也有这样的至暗时刻 主线讲述的还算是一个比较幸运的故事吧…Eric有几个场景让人印象深刻 也许阶级剥削才是一切问题的根本。虽然但是，深柜男害了很多无辜的女生🙂
氛围感的营造很好，就是男主的取向转变不理解，看不懂了。
能不能请文艺片导演别霍霍恐怖和科幻题材？？真的艹了。但这种百变人生还是挺不错。
假如马力克拍恐怖片会是什么样，这片的风格太像《隐秘的生活》。一个没有好好当人的女孩，在成为女巫后打算体验人生，男人、女人、小孩，甚至一条狗。讽刺的是在她十六岁以前本可以好好体验人生，却被关在山洞里十六年，美其名曰“保护”。诗意的镜头，柔和的光线，漂亮的风景，浅浅的薄雾，大大的特写，伴随着喃喃细语，诉说着那些困惑和感触。文艺片标配被这个导演全都玩了一遍，玩得得心应手，关键这是部恐怖片啊，而且导演还是第一次拍长片。更让人惊奇的是，文艺的外衣和恐怖的内衣下，是导演对于人生和人性的深刻思考。
有点像暗之光…影片表达的大环境下的同性压迫暂且不说，男主之间的暧昧表达得非常到位，借书的时候，抚摸脸庞的时候，扔纸屑吐烟的时候，以及看着照片发呆的时候，非常像在看校园恋爱… 审批室那段很绝，喜欢里面的妈妈，男主设定也非常有趣，想证明自己是个男子汉的警官，影片里面说必须要离开这里，因为这里一直都不会变，太刺眼了… ps看完此片非常想喝酒
女巫也育儿难啊，果然还是得让孩子自己去经历
其实是个简单的故事…… @2022-01-23 19:44:47
空有其表的文艺片。用男权的视角来诠释女性。看不看两可。三分之二的时候我就睡着了。
时代的压抑，在社会高压和权力腐败下的禁忌之恋。做人不能什么都怕，尤其是害怕自由。
更喜歡女主體會萬物的狀態，原來世間萬物都可以細細品味，水流過手的感覺風拂過面容的感覺干草的香气蘋果的味道等等，之後才是變成女人變成男人作為社會中人的體驗，最終作為女兒作為愛人作為母親體會愛與失去，接受與抗爭
女性与女巫何尝不是一体的呢？
一言以蔽之就是，媳妇熬成婆，成婆不折磨的故事……
3.5，跟当年《黑夜造访》一样都是恐怖片包装，故事整体容易联想到聊斋。女巫对人类生活的渴望，对父权社会的认知以及对爱与亲情的好奇心几个侧重点在同类型片子下算新颖。镜头挺美但对几个村庄的习俗刻画少了点，最喜欢动物视角的部分
好缠绵的感情，在那个社会的LGBT真的太难了
被预告片吸引过来，却没看懂……我只是一个「普通」的恐怖片爱好者，想看一个讲女巫的恐怖片……但它并不是……它是泰伦斯·马力克喝醉后走错片场了……
千钧一发之际，我献出所有的真诚，对你说：“快跑，我一定会找到你。”
7.8(2⃣️)，满怀一种充满生命力的悲伤，又在清冷的氛围里孕育爱与希望。独白像是诗句，辅佐着影像——在这里呈现为一种更为纯粹的载体与语言——的表达。晃动的手持镜头和失焦的画面漫溢着自然的纯净之美，追根溯源一般地在生的轮回中还原生命最本真的模样。化为动物，化为男人，化为女人，体验了世间繁杂，在苦难中最终拥有了爱的情感，也意识到爱是对抗愚昧无知残酷蛮荒的最终利器。挥之不去的孤独始终弥漫于来生，又泛起极富诗意的伤感。生命是一条长河，它裹挟着爱，依然在向前奔涌，流淌/ 作为处女作完成度并不算很高，但是意境的表达非常动人
