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".
太太太无聊了，这导演也是，好自恋，搞多大个阵仗讲胡子的起源，黑白战壕整得挺艺术，形式与内容之间的毫无关联显得特别搞笑好嘛。又是导演又是主演就很容易落入个人显摆吹嘘的窠臼。
推理呢？而且凶手轻易就招了，手帕的证据是怎么指向他们的没有说清楚啊……制作是很精良，特效也不错，但是哎…
我本来想一星，但阿婆去世还没50年，作品仍然受版权保护。所以我为了阿婆克制住自己。最大败笔：赫尔克力波罗因为被人指责他傲慢白人中心，于是把胡子剃了。
还是无尽旖旎的大好风光，还是帅气倜傥的胡子侦探，和第一部“东方快车谋杀案”配置相同，只是他并不是波洛。和喜欢第一部的理由一样，我太爱看这些赏心悦目的画面了，美丽震撼的金字塔、神秘蜿蜒的尼罗河，还有娇艳夺目的女主角们，相信如果阿婆在世亲眼看了，也不会过于抗拒吧。
非常平庸的改编，导演依旧喜欢给自己加戏，不过结尾没有放飞，前面疯狂水时间，以至于案件收尾太潦草……
难以置信这片子是用Panavision 65毫米胶片摄影机拍摄的，毫无质感就算了，抠图技术也和我国电视剧一个水平，要知道好莱坞有多少导演用这台摄影机拍摄了众多留名影史的影片，再次证明，机器只是工具，导演才是核心，这部影片所有环节都是一塌糊涂
其实主要就不是来看故事情节的，毕竟一开场我就知道凶手是谁了，小学就看过，老片新拍质量也很不错
开头一段讲留胡子的原因还是挺惊喜的。看过1978年版本的所以并没有什么好猜的。画面好美，看得更想去埃及了。
谢苗一口气拍了好多网剧啊，这个确实不错，好看
不愧是“上世纪”的经典电影，布拉纳爵士和他镜头里的波洛一样自恋。研究审查尺度都比研究本片来得有趣，你永远无法知道什么时候同性情节可以过审，什么时候不能。
改编的全在我的雷点上也是没谁了，小胡子侦探还能剃胡子我真是呵呵哒。
没看过原著和前一版，觉得还挺精彩的。开头的波洛背景交代，对新人来说很友好，很容易代入波洛的人生。 埃及实在是太美了！！尤其是在紧张的，暗流涌动的氛围下又不自觉的被美景感染还是蛮好的。唯一的缺点是推理的部分不足。只感受到了波洛的想象力，没感受到严丝合缝的推理过程。
比上次的《东方快车谋杀案》好，但是也就好那么一点而已。盖尔·加朵当然漂亮，只不过原著里的琳内特年龄才21岁，于是96年的梅芙实在青春无敌，短发漂亮极了，虽然造型由于过于罗比了，但是都是大美女啊。塌了房的锤子再也爱不起来了，怎么看都不像是落魄的穷人，04电视剧版的西蒙特别帅，让人相信富家女的一见钟情富家女的下嫁。盖尔一看就是聪明脸（我没有说布朗特看上去不聪明），怎么会爱上石油大亨？
怎么花了9000万美元拍了这样一部不痛不痒毫无趣味的电影？前面10分钟到底是为了啥？？？还不如不拍，全片下来成了菠萝一个人的独角戏，其他人全是无聊的工具人，加朵和艾米汉莫的角色真的是演技好差，其他的角色所有的行为和思想都是流于表面，最后10分钟的解密甚至还不如看名侦探柯南，看这样子幸好也没下一部了。
未看过原著，所以新鲜感还是有的，前半段介绍背景及人物依然是用非常复古的手法来拍，看得有点昏昏欲睡，探案开始后渐入佳境，看得出导演加入了不少新的议题来迎合当今的政治正确，但本片的优点仍然是阿加莎的，导演有意加强人物关系的铺排，弱化推理，站在上帝视角将整个案件平铺直叙，利用信息不对等来制造悬念，作为悬疑片来说，实在只能说中规中矩。7
比第一部好看，主角都是第一个被杀………加朵好美啊啊啊啊啊
出乎意料的可以，給武術指導加雞腿，拳拳到肉，酣暢淋漓，感覺有點像韓劇動作片。 (沒想到謝苗都這麼大了。
IMAX看埃及景色赛高，放风筝和埃及艳后两处很有视觉效果，尼罗河上橙色暖调落日余晖胶片感十足。开头一战还以为是打开了《1917》。好久不见艾米汉莫，油了不少。
天呐 怎么会这么烂……… 我看了大概30分钟就不想看了。78版珠玉在前，这个版本摄影、逻辑、角色乱七八糟。导演的ego 如斗大
想去埃及。演员美，有很多熟面孔，画面/特效说不上漂亮，太浓郁以致油腻了。小时候因为爱看书的名声，亲戚送了我本书，就是尼罗河惨案，可那时太小，看不下人物名字太长的书，后来才知道是著名作品。最近也在看波洛的电视剧，这版电影的波洛在说话的腔调和语法上学足了电视剧版，不过电视剧版的没有那么咄咄逼人，就像剧中有一集波洛去看推理剧时批评的那样，编剧都没交代清楚全部线索，案子就破了。阿加莎的故事我算是总结出来了，如果有强不在场证据的，一般凶手有两人。我把安妮特贝宁错认成玛吉吉伦哈尔，全片都在感叹，她怎么会老得这么快。
