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".
托马老师永远滴神，贤人和伦太郎都拿最强形态打，托马老师是一册就完事了。而且托马老师守护小路的眼神是真的赞，并且剧情大体都不错是上乘的外传，只能说你令和老大哥就是厉害
电影从头到尾都在讽刺美国政治，以一种荒谬、诙谐的方式，让我这个很少关心时政的人也能被打动、被说服。太强了。
但是飞羽真好寡哦我爱了
浪子想回头就回头这个有点恶心 哪怕是世界末日
本期待一场加长版日和世界末日呢 还差点意思 but 至少有黑的自由
终于找到一部比红色通缉令还糟糕的电影，连节奏都没有
所有想表现的点都放大十倍，生怕观众get不到，用演小品的方法拍电影，使劲挠你胳肢窝，可是又不好笑
星光熠熠，不好不坏。能让末日降临的电影我都打不出低分。
三星半
虽然和tv主线没什么关系，但不妨是一部优秀的作品
真的不错，又悬疑刺激，以不同的正义角度讲述了一个故事
年度搞笑大片，就是显得粗制滥造了（更搞笑了
区别于以往的骑士外传，更注重与文戏的部分，我个人很喜欢！
原来中国是占有矿物和自然资源最多的国家，谢谢夸奖了。不过全片看上去好像只有美国一个国家，那可不可以彗星炸只炸美国，别的国家怎么可能毫无动静。
作品缺点挺多的，圣刃挺可惜的，01剧场只分到20几分钟，英雄战记分了20几分钟给利维斯，只剩下60几分钟，现在的外传篇章也不能像其他外传一样分章节上映，导致除了主角的篇章，另外两个篇章都讲得比较突兀，太可惜了，希望以后会有导演剪辑版，还是给五星吧，片尾曲太好听了
很有文艺的感觉，虽然伦太郎的演技一直有问题，但是这一部里好了很多。
需要看两三遍才能看懂？？总之整部剧的基调很压抑的感觉。是我喜欢的风格？和以往的骑士外传不一样的感觉，神了
这他妈是我看过的今年最好的电影，它应该拿明年的奥斯卡。
首先必须要说，这次ov外传的镜头语言和电影质感与TV本篇和（大范围上映且在上映半年后才出资源的）剧场版拉开了很大差距，一方面是只有ov这个规模的作品可以给导演更多的空间施展，另一方面是上堀内自身实力的成熟。伦太郎的天降系老爸、贤人的恋人、飞羽真的好友其实跟龙我外传的女主一样，都是主角群鞭长莫及没能保护到的普通人。但是跟龙我外传女主的直接被伤害者身份+最后还是被英雄拯救不同，这次的三人是目睹至亲至爱的逝去+拥有了与剑士对抗的力量。当然三者的结局还是有瑕疵，但是比龙我外传的生硬转折要好很多（看短评有人提到逆转未来才发现好像是有点像）。另外由于戏份分配的原因，原以为重点在有了新道具的贤人那边结果并不是（以往的外传都是有新道具的是主角）。最后，东映不考虑来个导演评论音轨吗，挺想知道导演的个人看法。
整个故事没什么亮眼的地方，最有意思的还是最后的ed，几位塞壬都只说了亲人被卷入剑士的战斗中牺牲，却没说清楚是剑士与怪人打还是内斗（从伦太郎的话我推断是打怪人）
