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".
2021真的死了，因为2022来了。。sigh
20220113 比Dont look up逗一些
有一说一，夹带了不少私货。
始终觉得爱会变得越来越包容，关系也会，至少在我看来bdsm是正常的关系，dom和sub是相互需要的。
冲击性有所减弱，但是在疫情未结束前每年结尾网飞都来这么一部犀利吐槽当年时事的片子也未尝不是个好选择，几处吐槽有趣又精准
2021年证明，我们并没有从2020年吸取教训。
还是挺左的，按照这个论调基本上没有弥合分裂的可能性。
愈发荒诞的年度所发生的事，总以为已经发生了好久，却原来仅仅一年。太阳底下，长城内外，都没有什么新鲜事，只有更加跌破的底线。看这个就觉得网飞的立场还是站得蛮理性的，如果放在别抬头里面，这种媒体分分钟就失去流量了。
2021的人们没有人会从2020里学到什么，2022的人们同样也不会有人从2021里学到什么，人类永远都会这样直到消失，不过还挺期待death to 2022的呢
The earth is healing itself while human being still doesn't learn from anything.
比去年的好笑了不少，比烂的世界，大家应该已经习惯了吧。
完美的承接了去年的《2020去死》，依然是半纪录片、半伪纪录片的形式，去回顾在2021年美国发生的一些大事件，大部分演员都回归参与，同时增加了媒体人的部分，用十分戏谑的方式去嘲讽他们这一年发生的各种乱象，比如国会冲击事件，比如特朗普与拜登选票事件和美国的撕裂，比如阿富汗撤军事件，比如当下美国疫情的混乱局面，以及媒体的完全不负责任，比如对比阿富汗军人和美国人的区别（网红的那段话，真的太讽刺了，都是喜欢派对和枪啊），比如商业巨头开始考虑太空移民和元宇宙事件，比如明星被封杀事件，还调侃了他们欧美剧集过于政治正确的问题，将民众的反智、政府的无能、媒体的无良、商人的自私都展现了出来，简直就是荒诞他妈给荒诞开门，荒诞到家了。2021过去了，2022他们还会怎样的作死呢？
愚蠢的人类 荒诞的世界 让我们期待明天会更糟哈哈。。。以及，敢不敢比比看谁的素材更多。
Isn’t human race fucked up as a whole and too late to be saved when a streaming platform feels the need to document and summarize all the batshit crazy shits that happened in the past year because they happen more often than should and no one cares any more
去年看了2020去死，片尾说会有下一部的，没想到还真是……今年估计还会有新的。期待今年会更好一些。
搞笑的梗一年都没换，好多内容都看不能感同身受。中美关系这么差，这片子都没敢拿中美关系的搞事儿，不愧是商业公司，求生欲太强了。
以他者整体视角回顾这一年，发现确实魔幻糟糕得超出想象。而从个人关注视角，我想我们还有希望。
结合Don't Look Up一起看，一时分不清哪个更现实。都是现实。
理查德·布兰森第一个上太空的无用之人，哈哈哈，适合吃饭的时候看，时长讲究不多不少正好一个小时。
用真真假假的刻板印象来拍2021中的刻板印象，也挺有趣的。
