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".
一镜到底晃晃晃，真人CS枪枪枪战，一人干掉一个恐怖分子团伙，牛逼克拉斯
真实 临场 紧张 刺激 丝毫不活泼 我挺喜欢的
不拖泥带水。女的挺白，没想到就一花瓶，一会就被大柱子杵死了。开头打到结尾，没那么多废话，挺好，干就完了，爽片
they wasted the shit out of the production...clearly, you can't make up a formula of Nolan's and copy that
啥玩意儿 又臭又长 狼叔好深情啊 good lover
可惜了末日的大背景，总体是一个凄美的爱情故事。
斯科特阿金斯的枪战片看的越多越是怀念他博伊卡时期的肉搏战。一镜到底的质感还算不错，我自己看的时候只感觉到两三处明显的剪辑痕迹。敌人有些源源不断的意味，而队友一个接一个地倒下，有那么一点在看中国抗战片的感觉。反战内核也是很明显，多方势力操纵、极端势力洗脑对人精神的损害也被很好地表现了出来。
情节紧凑，打斗精彩，灵魂拷问，谁才是恐怖分子？
一镜到底断断续续，手持摄影机晃得老子脑子疼！无聊的搏击巷战枪战，以及看似牛逼的看守人员！差评！
牛逼，动作戏设计和摄影太棒了，创造了巅峰级别的新动作片拍法，在电影史具有独特的地位。
Clutch or Kick！男主真厲害。就是鏡頭搖得太厲害了。
以往动作枪战片顶多来个三到五分钟长镜头，这部竟然一镜到底，考虑到是斯科特阿金斯主演，也猜的到肯定是B级片规模的小投资，连《1917》那种大投资都是伪一镜到底，这部也能预料肯定是伪的，观影过程便成了找穿帮，的确有几处明显的剪辑点，动作戏也很潦草，镜头也晃得很晕，但枪战跟着镜头就很有代入感啊！
小成本的海豹营救片，除了过于夸张的孤胆英雄风格有点老套之外，其它还是可以看的～最好的部分是以战地记者视角拍摄的手法在敌我中穿插，临场感较强。CQB，CQC部分完成得尤其爽快，描写队友牺牲也不再念诗看照片了，废话不多，稍差的部分是用刀的技术动作，浅插多扎的特点没有体现出来～基地有点山寨，美国旗的质感不对，墙裙也是新刷的，两个负责人性格也是太标签化了（其实反派也是），阿什丽果然是吸血鬼需要用木棒插死吗？有点搞笑的酱油了～人质才是顶着最大的光环怎么都死不了～
劫匪应该是来灭口的吧，所以不管他是否已经招供，劫匪都不应吝惜一颗子弹：一击，毙他的命。
升级版的营救题材。枪战集中，女一太弱，场面不好，集中在岛上，没有大场面，海上戏都没有，像个CS。索马里行动可以借鉴。缉毒类的营救也可以借鉴。
相隔三米的墙角对战，
405 美国战狼，斯科特阿金斯的格斗功夫确实是有水平的
动作戏可以，枪战戏塑料感可太严重了，全程无后座，有几个镜头甚至都没拋壳，室内CQB也不把菠萝镜切一下，几米的距离用组合镜瞄啥呢..不过一镜到底我可太爱了，从硬核亨利到1917，代入感太强
升级版的营救题材。枪战集中，女一太弱，场面不好，集中在岛上，没有大场面，海上戏都没有，像个CS。索马里行动可以借鉴。缉毒类的营救也可以借鉴。
one shot 是不是有 一镜到底 的意思？看了一会儿意识到这电影要来一镜到底。打斗还是可以的，主角这边减员还是很合理的，主角没有007或者碟中谍那种科技辅助，纯自身愣是全给挑了……这结果有点 狼 了，但好歹战后是浑身伤痛，不那么潇洒。
