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".
开场部分跟失控玩家重合，解锁的过程有趣，套路中有细节上的精致，“手艺人”有内在技艺支撑，不为金钱放弃节操和追求，某向度的励志片。
11.6晚，其实应该选择看曼市德比的，可能还精彩一点。
爽片定位，但除了男主角以外的角色塑造都太拉垮了，全部脸谱化，年轻版的狼叔更是惨中之惨。所有重头戏；偷盗过程都拍得太随意小儿科，简单得不能再简单…
开锁过程显得好容易，其实是想表现出他的天才，可是….中间有点冗长，开始还是不错的，四部锁，一部史诗，结尾衔接活死人军团
在第一案前，团队过半都被通缉，不戴帽子或变妆，各种招摇过市和直接把车停银行路边真是艺高人胆大；在开锁时聊历史可勉强解释为“与解密有关”，但谈感情好尬好无意义开完锁还大叫大笑，只觉得离谱！
比较完整的一个故事，开锁的戏份有点简单，男女主的爱情戏有点突然，三星。
这...实在没什么心意，偷3个传奇宝箱都没史诗物品奖励的，一点都不刺激...
没啥好看的，还拍这么长……剧情按部就班毫无意外，动作和特效都还行但是没啥亮点，丧尸的设定也一点点作用都没起到，这样的话，跟同类片比起来就更加一般了。
男主的表演太有穿透力！看的时候别喝水，不知道什么时候就会呛到你……和前几天看的【失控玩家】一样，都是讲的小人物大梦想的故事。导演很聪明，充分收获了小人物的大市场。初识女主是在权游龙妈的身边，这次的霸气不再侧漏，而是直接喷薄而出，好看！伤感的结尾深刻地描述了爱的基础是相信……为了最大化的票房，里面没有一个18禁的镜头，这才是成熟商业片该有的姿态！扎克施耐德讲的故事，不错！尽管痛恨剧透，还是忍不住想透露一个“小鹿斑比”的梗……有哭有笑的好片！期待续集！
太平了... 怎么能这么平，还不如拍个《活死人军团》里面Coyote Lilly的前传吧？
这个影片告诉我们，无论干多大的事，仪式感也绝对是必不可少的。不过最后码头对峙那点，怎么可能只来了一个警察？这真的不合理...男主呢，作为一个普通得不能再普通的小职员，瞬间就会开快艇...还是有我喜欢的地方的，开头男主作为小职员的一天的描述，雨中吃午餐，画面很美，后来辗转的各个城市，也都很美，尤其是布拉格那个银行的取景地，是疫情前最后一次旅游曾经到过的地方，怀念的情感瞬间喷涌而出。
确实不错，紧张刺激。值得一看，男主不错，女主不搭。
作为扎克·施奈德导演《活死人军团》前传的《神偷军团》，马提亚斯·施维赫夫自导自演迪特尔的故事，无论是情节设计，还是影片的节奏感马提亚斯·施维赫夫都把控的很不错。
第一次觉得黑人女演员好看的。发型变了七八次和男主甜甜的恋爱小金刚狼嫉妒。小男一一拳打男二脸上和挠痒痒一样结果自己手受伤老招笑了。好吧和强盗没啥关系反正一路拧圈圈没什么新鲜。
不理解为啥活死人这个样子还要开发什么丧尸宇宙乱七八糟的是不是钱没地方花啊？就拍拍女主女配一起招摇撞骗前传好吧 不比什么臭男人装逼强太多 男主实属给我整笑了不明白这种蠢货呆子人设为什么会存在啊
和“好看”两个字完全不沾边，偷盗题材，你哪怕依葫芦画瓢抄个《罗汉》这样的经典，也不至于这么难看。全程没有一处体现团队的智慧，几个金库不费什么力气就全部拿下了，而且最高潮的开锁戏份展现得太平淡了，根本没有表现出困难性和紧迫感。全片唯一惊喜的就是弥桑黛的几个造型还都挺好看的。
难得见到把人物小传另外拍成一部电影的操作。
比较典型的商业动作电影，不无聊，也不太惊喜，保险箱的来源比本应是重点的开保险箱更有吸引力，开保险箱的过程过于简单了，BGM用瓦格纳的 女武神的骑行可还行
剩下我能吐槽的只有。。很多角色塑造都太单一了，除了男主，其他人都跟个卡通角色似的，性格只有一面，几乎没任何层次感，女主勉强算个例外。。然而塑造还是还太少啊。。要不也给搞个前传电影吧？
