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".
画风清奇，Peter pan声誉彻底毁了。话说这么多乱入，法务部不需要疯狂加班么？
boss的谢幕有些潦草，比起自我和解更像阴沟翻船，好好的退休生活就这么被自己断送了。另外在电影里疯狂插播歌曲的这种手法啥时候能停停，真的很让人疲劳。
玩梗玩到飞起🤣但我有点接受不了我的彼得潘成那样了🤣奇奇蒂蒂永远是最棒的‼️
码一个豆油的评论，笑死
虽然女主的美貌开场两分钟就把我迷倒了，安雅的声音在电影院听起来也更棒了，但是我还是要吐槽后面这是什么鬼东西啊！！！！！！简直就是电影院预告片比例极高的那种美式音效恐怖片即视感，正好遇上万圣节难怪宣发这么厉害排片也比预期多很多。。。故事讲得完全不行，前半部分也有点拖沓，后半部分基本全程都是满头问号的状态。。。特别是那个僵尸化的呈现！！！和窗边的女人观感很像但那部我觉得比这部摄影好看啊
迪士尼的炒冷饭，秀IP专场。这个2D、3D和真人混搭的世界还挺有意思的，最大的惊喜莫过于对其他厂牌IP的恶搞(蝙蝠侠大战ET外星人笑的我站不起来)
跟baby driver一样让我在二三星间摇摆不定..... 赖特应该放弃这种“正经”的尝试 一直走无厘头路线。因为在前半段铺垫正经 后面一泻千里 失却平衡 摔死人。其实视觉上有很多我喜欢的瞬间 不过故事和一些细节踩雷。谁从南伦敦开车去北伦敦？SOHO是北伦敦？你逗我？我老公说肯定是为了照顾美国观众听不懂“河对岸”🥲 鬼的刻画倒是很喜欢 真的是女人的噩梦。
故事是中规中矩的故事，但是梗太密集了以至于不停反思这里是不是一个反讽……
3.5，我还挺喜欢的，安雅就是那种，天生就应该做明星的人。/ 虽然明白是政治正确，但是没必要非得加个黑人男主叭，尤其嘴巴比王大陆还大，其实这部加男女感情戏都属于多余。
利用IP玩梗确实成了迪爸爸的执念，当时『头号玩家』没跟上怕是后悔，先是『失控玩家』然后这次老牌战队『救难小福星』疯狂炮制。还顺带走了一波反盗版的内核，就是这个剧本比起四处乱飞的梗来说逊色不少。
惊叹于平面动画、3D动画和真人的组合动画技术水平，故事本身没多大惊喜。

本片告诉我们：租房不讲究风水、穿衣服老从死人身上扒古着的后果，是十分惨烈的。
有时候“对味”的感觉真是妙不可言；虽然这个恐怖故事的“恐怖”非常小儿科，但电影的氛围和调调太迷人了，癫狂也如此自信昂扬，疯魔也如此惊艳万方，在纸醉金迷和灯红酒绿的堕落中，一袭殷红魅影噬魂般的游荡与嗅探，所到之处凝固了时间，尘封了悔恨，收殓了罪恶，最终在地狱之火里褪去了束缚，解脱了秘辛，回归了自由，结局虽平淡却也算完美。//PS. 运镜与配乐非常棒，安雅简直是人间尤物的存在。
实在是不喜欢看心理素质极差的，精分主角设定。满大街乱跑，得亏伦路窄，车速慢。但想想也是，不把女主搞这么讨厌，也显不出安雅女神演的反派这么飒。屋子里藏尸体这个设定太bug了，几十具，啥防腐技术啊。
大部分男性导演翻车的瞬间都是在于尝试去解读和描绘女性的视角。电影拍的不错，但故事暴露了根本不懂女人这件事———我如果是ellie，知道sandie不但没死而且反杀了那么多渣男的瞬间，我就会欣喜若狂地抱住她，相反ellie那种时候非要sandie伏法的所谓“正义感”才是逻辑之外的。倒不如说从头就开始出现的莫名的女性霸凌、男性角色一再英雄救美等等都是导演对女人想象力的贫瘠之一罢了，如果这也叫女性主义电影我就只能微笑了，最后草草的happy ending真是个大败笔。（但安雅真是美的肝颤啊）
太妙、太帅了这片！镜像式迷幻风粘接两个女孩，让灵鬼附身头一回这么华华丽丽，身临其境，让人欲罢不能。场面调度和运镜和音乐都恰到好处。反转也是惊喜，我是没想到。---悬疑方面跟前一阵韩国的《电话》有那么一丝说不清地相通感。
铅黄追凶歌舞片，剧本的拧巴把前面建立的节奏都打破了，主角也不好。
7.5/10 电影总体还是拍的很棒的，特别喜欢前半段穿越到60年代的镜像附身画面，拍的特别有创意。片子的惊悚程度和悬疑程度也在线，到影片最后段还来一层反转。观看下来也十分流畅，女主和乔伊姐太美了。
近年的北美恐怖惊悚片行业就像一台机器，修剪掉了所有个性鲜明的导演的锐气。
