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".
干脆利落的动作，也包括情节和对话。比大多数狗血矫情剧好看多了。鼓掌👏
开局哪里很东北。
谢雨这侧脸和刘奕君很像啊→_→
国产电影还是网剧，就别有太大希望了，不过能把故事讲明白就可以了
打戏真的很精彩，非常意外，但是剧情比较弱，犯罪分子出场到犯罪到伏法过于简单，没什么起伏，肖三毛这个角色可以塑造得更好，谢苗的警察既接地气又利落帅气
整片剧情流畅、动作伶俐，节奏有序，很不错的一部网大电影。谢苗的表演风格，感觉有一点故意凸现《给爸爸的信》中风格。王维申的肖三毛看着还有点味道，衣云鹤就是太脸谱化了！
没看过谢苗长大之后的电影，这是第一部，有被惊艳到。情节没什么好讲的，简单粗暴，但动作戏真的是利落干净，颇有港片之风。另外东北话真的好搞笑，各个都是说单口相声的。
没什么东北特色 就中间踢场子还挺牛逼的 其他一般般 谢苗这一年拍了这是多少电影 最近老看他了
绝对合格的网大水平，基本就是借鉴了 导火线 的套路，打斗挺真实的，谢苗的块儿还差点儿，缺少点信服力～～～
挺不错的 动作流畅 正好在看武侠剧雪中悍刀行 远胜之
故事简单节奏紧凑，打斗场面秉承了龙虎武师的风格，动作设计可谓拳拳到肉。还算不错！
在家看的，还行，就是全局一个人把所有人抓了有点假
动作片还是不要看花絮的好 看了大几百部电影 国产片估计也就三四十部 这个片子比我想象的好看万倍 片子评分低了 同时向那些动作替身致敬
我们也可以有个人英雄主义！！！！肖老三让我想起小说《年华》的男主角，给美国唐人街帮派当会计和智囊，只是没有肖老三那么阴险
2.可惜谢苗始终不瘟不火
谢苗在我这就是优质功夫片的保障，一连看几部片看下来，还真就没失望过。本片剧情简单，节奏紧张，时长还特别ok。虽然打戏相较他的古装片要逊色些，却也做到了拳拳到肉，打击感十足，整体三星绰绰有余。
没明白肖家这三个兄弟是怎么有勇气冲到一帮混黑白两道老板的饭局去的，也不明白这帮老板是怎么愿意咽下这口气的。还有留学回国这哥们儿，从出场开始就在立高智商犯罪人设了，可看上去实在太装x了，换我就第一个揍他。
虽然看起来有点像甄子丹的导火线的感觉，但现在华语电影里能看到拳拳到肉，让人感觉到肾上腺素飙升的动作片已经非常难得了，且看其珍惜吧。
看了两部给我最大的印象是，他们真的很会在道具上去用心思，演员和场景的互动度超级高，这样出来的打戏既合理又有新意
少林五祖的小谢苗已经长得变成刘奕君+孟鹤堂的结合体了！时间过的可真快呀！吴京用用谢苗吧，他真的很能打！情节有点过于简单，只能给一星；好在打戏不错，➕2🌟！
