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".
接替加勒比海盗续写迪士尼乐园丛林主题园区的素材，迪士尼的商业化版图真是一套一套的
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。
相当不错。剧情虽然是简单的复仇故事，但是掺杂了亲人背叛，东西文化对撞等内容，让剧情不至于像一般的好莱坞流水线作品。日本大阪的市井气息与略显r级的霓虹灯光调色，搭配凌厉拳拳到肉的动作打斗与炫酷的镜头调度，让人肾上腺素飚升，让电影具备一股独特的邪典气息。虽然说女主战斗力爆棚，但是并没有让她一路开挂到让人无语，也让这部电影区别于这几年一众的女特工电影。另外不得不说伊丽莎白的造型真是酷的不行，太赞了！我愿称之为女版约翰.威克。这电影值得更高的分，至少7.5。
虽然很老套，但是这种梦幻是刚需。总得有。虽然迪士尼近来在走下坡路，但是那个城堡在片头出现的时候，还是代表着美丽的梦。有点像夺宝奇兵，但是感觉没有模仿太好。强森也不太适合在电影里谈恋爱哈哈哈。剧情发现也稍微有些低龄。艾米丽是真好看。
越到后面越是脑洞大开，让人眼前一亮。就像 Disney Land 那样，总有惊喜在后头！
感觉应该把重点放在营造亚马逊雨林景观上，这种简单直白的角色定位和剧情其实没必要花这么多笔墨去塑造。有点可惜，没看到比较美的夜景。
Emily女士十年如一日的年轻和美丽啊！绝命毒师的Todd+致命女人的Catherine+亿万的胖子法官，这阵容也是绝了啊哈哈哈哈！
不过感觉强森演来演去都是这种类型的角色，《勇敢者游戏》、《摩天营救》以及《狂暴巨兽》，都是这种风格。期待《黑亚当》能够有所突破吧。
平庸之作，不及预期，以为会媲美同是乐园改编的加勒比海盗一样，不过好像也要出续集的。
迪士尼老套冒险片，连细节几乎都差不多，看开头猜结尾，他们家的电影总有一种“一本两拍”的既视感，全在意料之中，但偶尔也不乏一些有趣的部分以及漂亮的女主。★★☆
No.2348 虽然也好看吧，但整体有些低幼，感觉小朋友会更感兴趣。巨石这热心肠傻大个儿的形象算是立稳了，看到他的脸就是老好人了。
《勇敢者游戏》+《古墓丽影》，体验就是主题乐园游玩项目，背后的世界观还蛮期待续集可以再有所深挖。弟弟说自己心之所向是elsewhere，为了一些市场和时代背景考虑蛮有趣的。
期待值略高，应该未及期待，我以为是部夺宝奇兵，至少能和勇敢者游戏差不多，还是过程中略有感到无聊。不过至少看见了雨林和非洲部落几个元素，小满足吧。
我怎么突然不会写影评了哈哈哈
人设不讨喜，剧情强行圆，魔幻有海盗的印子，中平之作
丛林奇航之狂蟒之灾搜寻血兰之惊情四百年。选角还可以，不良教师清减不少老鼠厂到底对尼做了什么啦！艾米莉布朗特美智强。
兒童版的《加勒比海盜》+《奪寶奇兵》，雖然劇情簡單了一點但是特效真的不錯算得上一流的商業片。個人覺得巨石強森還是更適合演娛樂探險片而不是僵硬的動作片
有几处明显粗糙，但是整体看下来也能放松娱乐。
质量还不错 艾米丽在本片中造型太好看了 （足够了）
这是一部爆米花娱乐冒险喜剧片。
