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".
我爱菲菲，但这部劳模姐的表现真的肉眼可见地赢他好多
看最前面的时候不是很喜欢这部电影，看到后半段，被查斯坦演绎的塔米·菲这个角色的人格魅力所折服。就是不知道有没有洗白的嫌疑。历史会给予每一个人公义吗？
怎么看也都是一部中规中矩的传记故事，给我们结果而忽略了过程，它呈现了一个疯狂的布道者，在盲目与先锋中盘旋，对于宗教与圣经话语的立场解读也没有什么新意，靠表演来支撑的片子注定是颁奖季对于演员的衬托了。
加菲好高产，跟原型长得也有点异曲同工……男女主撑起整部片，其他部分就都比较一般了
开始不知道这是宗教 信仰相关的影片 但其实看下来 对于不是基督教的观众来说去看的也毫不费力。过程中感慨颇多、结局唱的那首歌 Lord love you He loves what you are 她唱的自己的心声 一直以来传道歌唱的就很好 我都被她感染
一时难以分清到底是化妆技术更好还是劳模姐的演戏技术更好，硬件做的不错，但是人物刻画的一般，很多内心人性该挖掘的没有展现，观众更多的感受到的是塔米菲天真乐观的人生态度。这种人物传记片加上工整的套路一直都是学院派青睐的风格，虽然质量并不怎么样。奥斯卡赶紧把影后给劳模姐安排上，不要不识抬举！
平平无奇的一部“偷窥”惊悚片。女主的第六感有人在跟踪她，其他人都不信，女主和男友因此产生矛盾，就在女主决定远走之际，坏人抓住了她，最后女主坚强反杀。过于套路了，没啥惊喜与看点。我想的是，如何把这个故事编得更有意思。比如，男主才是那个坏人，每天假装去工作，其实是悄悄跟踪女主，女主越害怕，他越开心，满足一种心理扭曲的需求。或者，女主精分，她的另一个人格在跟踪她自己，最后她自己杀了自己。
影片本身的质量挺糟糕的，剧本很差，导演技法基本为0，基本都是靠劳模姐的表演在硬撑，但这也不是劳模姐最好的表演
老被打断还要不失礼貌接梗回应同时忙着结束小故事讲述并战战兢兢提问的连续反应可以笑一年 - gettin extra emotional when no one fckin cares -
一查制片和原编剧果然都是男性，想罚整个剧组集体观摩20遍《孤身》。
婚姻是一座围城，艺术家也会不可避免的出现婚姻危机
其他无感。
颁奖季传记片一般也就看个表演，电影没有特别出彩的点。
加菲好高产，跟原型长得也有点异曲同工……男女主撑起整部片，其他部分就都比较一般了
塔米·菲的眼睛 The.Eyes.of.Tammy.Faye.2021.1080p.AMZN.WEB-DL.DDP5.1.H264-CMRG
Tammy Faye的人物弧光没画完整。Jessica Chastain的表演只能是空中楼阁。
一开始觉得是小男人和美国甜心的组合，可看着看着真的被Tammy faye吸引过去了。她真的相信和热爱自己的工作，要是她生活在现在，也许会更自由更成功，会更早从丈夫带给她的痛苦中走出来吧。演的好。
劳模姐真·整容式表演！抛去传记式电影这一特点，基督徒的伪善和虚荣但是让我觉得这部电影挺讽刺的，God bless XXX
在一个不是对你有利的环境里，尊重自己每一个感到不舒适、感到被冒犯的时刻，不是你事多敏感，是空气和环境在纳垢。
剧情本身没有什么特别的点，不过拍得蛮流畅的。记得要重视自己的不适感，当逃则逃。（及格分
