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".
人设不讨喜，剧情强行圆，魔幻有海盗的印子，中平之作
以游乐园为蓝本可以制作出这样的剧本真的富有想象力，但感觉这好像就是《勇敢者游戏》外传，抑或是揉合了《加勒比海盗》和《夺宝奇兵》。寻宝过程也有些老套，感情戏份更是不搭调，但总体是部合格的夏日夜晚娱乐片，看个快乐、轻松还图个啥
程式化的一部作品，还不如木乃伊惊险刺激，也就哄小孩看看。
爆米花类似的电影 迪士尼魔板的 比预想中观感要好，轻松娱乐冒险片，随便看看无妨。
实在无法评价，要是无聊可以去电影院看一下，一切都很标准的现代好莱坞电影。有一点点3D效果一惊一乍的，迪士尼乐园广告片。
2022-04-05/策驰 冒险3/男船长带着姐弟雨林寻找生命之树。男主是西班牙殖民者的兄弟，年逾400岁。当年他们被原始部落用这棵树的花瓣所救。其兄弟为得到花瓣大开杀戒，结果被诅咒无法离开河流附近。德国王子要花统治世界，被巨石砸死。男被诅咒成石头，女主用花瓣让男复活，在一起。
迪士尼ride电影想到二十年前看得vcd系列（这是落地策略吗都找不到非配音版本），中间打斗有点冗长（前方又不喷水椅背又不会动打那么久很没有必要！），但前后很欢乐，出字幕才意识到那个是Jack Whitehall，他是变帅了吗？！
my first ever Disney ride我永远吃老鼠家的情怀，反派仿佛从DC里串门过来的，Jack Whitehall演的是他爸吧哈哈哈
真的有点感慨，日本人自己不再拍黑帮片了，结果美国人拍了一部这样日本元素满满的黑帮复仇片～画面质感，调色和构图都属于上乘水准；霓虹迷乱的东京夜生活，音乐却一点都不嘈杂混乱，伍迪等人的戏份中规中矩，有很好的背景可信度，但是女主温斯蒂还真没想到也投入到打女行列里来，缺乏好的动作指导，卖力但显得松软～就像季节未到的大闸蟹，虚有其表。柿子脸丸子头的钢牙妹，说是黑帮豪门千金，真的不信～剧情方面还是“致敬式”的老套，背叛与清理门户，倒是挺东方思维的，尼基塔×日本黑帮的混搭，能看～
这么复古的维多利亚时代探险故事，现在可真不多见了，迪斯尼看来花不少钱搭外景，但是成片还是给人儿童片的感觉
感觉有很久没有看过这类题材的电影了，看的还挺开心的，虽然有点扯。比起现代杀手特工类的剧本，强森其实更适合这类冒险奇幻色彩的剧本，长相肤色身板表情都很搭，不过也看出强森是真的老了，年轻的蝎子王已经是20年前的事了，还是挺怀念那些老电影的。推荐观看。
看着玩儿。
现在这种冒险题材的片子也是少得可怜。又一个给堵死的类型片。再怎么拍都摆脱不出印第安纳琼斯、成龙喜剧的影子。
5分吧，这2亿美刀的成本也撑不起这稀碎老套的剧情，看得打瞌睡啊。
真正的图一乐，剧情对于这种按照大数据喜好拍出来的电影来说已经不重要了，重要的是探险过程里强森的无所畏惧和艾米莉布朗特的英姿飒爽，偶尔再搞点亚马逊雨林的景观点缀一下，这种无功无过、特效平庸的欢乐向探险电影确实很适合和家里人一起看作为消遣。
……虽然也不咋滴吧…但还是请国产冒险类作品多多学习借鉴吧
程式化的一部作品，还不如木乃伊惊险刺激，也就哄小孩看看。
凯特临终一幕在粉色招财猫霓虹下还是真有几分伤感💐
有点像加勒比海盗，但还是很欢快的，说明这个类型与逻辑还是容易吸引观众的
强森是不是开始有些角色固化了，冒险过程略显无趣。
