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".
-第一次在微博看到雷导的短视频就粉上了 觉得雷导很有意思 没想到雷导竟然还有让好莱坞翻拍国产电影的本事 -说实话 故事很好 是个不错的剧本 但是一开始女主就认为是平行宇宙这事 真的太怪了 而且后面剧情有点不稳定的乱 结尾也不错 -片中大量《闪灵》元素 看得出雷导对闪灵的喜爱 -演员可能表演不太自然 但是男主能扮演好几个性格还是挺棒的 -期待翻拍 让剧情更成熟 让设定更严谨 让演员更专业 让片子走出中国 (预测翻拍7.5左右)
如果有更强大的制作团队和拍摄手法，这可以是一部国际大片
国产，科幻，烧脑，好莱坞翻拍 给我想看的欲望。景色，质感，剧情，细节，小成本，我愿意给五星鼓励
果然如果平行世界的另一个自己过得比自己好，那自己一定会杀死另一个自己…能不能有点别的思路呢？比如好几个自己一起生活，看看能过多久…
国产版《彗星来的那一夜》+《恐怖游轮》 小成本 还是不错的
国产电影中的平行空间，不错，一共就三个演员两套衣服，完全没觉得无聊，希望流量电影多学学，不用流量，一样可以让人喜欢？
感觉还行吧，《彗星来的前一夜》那类故事。没有太出彩，也没有太邋遢。平淡。
看不下去，说是被好莱坞买了版权，也不过是那边想借鉴彗星来的那一夜又想避免版权纠纷罢了，演员演技和台词也挺脱离生活的，雷哥这位哥估计也是在闭门造车中锻炼出来的
很多地方语焉不详，片头重伤母亲入院+片尾爆炸声中夹杂医院电击器声，可能是母亲死亡临界的臆想？
我觉得还行，小成本来说算是不错了。一个亮点是，明明回到了自己的空间，却又被老公逼着离开。最后一个空间没处理好，感觉像是表现成亦真实亦虚幻的感觉，但是节奏很奇怪，闪回也毫无意义，然后就莫名其妙结束了。
片子本身有很多问题，从制作层面看就很粗糙，两个主演能力有限，明显驾驭不了长片。其实与其用这种有一些表演经验的小演员，不如找一些新人来演也许会有惊喜。唯一能值得说的大概就只有剧本了。如果这个创意真是导演自己写出来没有借鉴别的作品，我觉得还是挺厉害的。希望好莱坞翻拍的话，能做的更好吧。
所有穿越发生的大致时间段：第一天下午女主划船到对岸进入森林到第二天上午，此时基本所有空间女主都在森林中，所以多数可以返回会所而不与另一个自己相遇。
看片前知道了是copy《彗星来的那一夜》，于是每一步都能猜到了。不过国产小成本，完成度还不错，值得鼓励。
给五星鼓励下吧，叙事逻辑有点问题，但是比很多网剧好多了，爽就完了
开车车祸，失去儿子，自责；
据说本片制作成本不超过100万，主要演员也就三个。很明显是借鉴了《彗星来的那一夜》，导演和编剧就是抖音上人气编剧雷神。从剧情设定来说，还是很不错的。核心内容就是主角燕子。误入了平行森林，希望能够回到原来的那个世界，但是可能再也回不去了。面对平行世界有一个同样的自己，该做出如何选择。过程是他打晕了其中一个自己并取而代之，并没有如他的丈夫一样痛下杀手。可以遇见那个被打晕了，自己也会进入另一个平行宇宙，做出类似的决定。有点新意，但又好像欠缺了点什么。毕竟还是一部模仿制作，和彗星来的那一夜还是有一定差距的。
No.2322 在B站上看了雷神的很多视频，第一次看他的作品，想着再去看一部，点进个人主页一看他只有这一部作品。整体格调介于院线和网大之间，能看得出成本不高。剧情挺有意思，但因为成本和场地选择，感觉剧情又有些贫瘠。男女主角的演技还是可以的。但总觉得这个故事之前看过，记不得电影的名字了。
对于一部国产小成本电影，能有这个完成度已经不错了，起码故事完整，逻辑基本能自洽。看第二遍才发现，所谓的平行世界只是女主临死前的一个梦境，有点模仿穆赫兰道的感觉
特别喜欢郑雷导演的短视频作品。讲电影风趣幽默内容又分量很足。我为黑龙江能有这样优秀的导演而自豪。
观感还不错，虽然蛮像很多平行空间的电影，但女主男主演的还不错
