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".
还可以，就是有一点不懂，既然假头里面是真头，那许一城不还是卖国吗
两星半吧，为了激励一下各位导演编剧们，两星不能更多了，咱能走点心不止为了赚钱吗？
2星。全程全员神游，都不知道在干嘛，甚至影片结束了，有几个人物都没交代清楚。细节非常之粗糙，类似给爸爸扫墓，突然就从脚底下翻起一块砖见到一封信这种比比皆是。最后，即便整体如此拉胯，李现的出戏依然很跳脱，全程木头人，配音也太假了。 当然，最扯的是佛头这个真真假假的大前提没说明白，导致最后揭晓谜底感觉有点脱裤子放屁。
雷大头和辛芷蕾还蛮有电的，葛大爷也是依旧演技爆表。剧情很紧凑，很舒服的从头看到尾，不过还有很多没交代的只能等等看有没第二部了。今年看过的商业片里最爱之一。
怎么办，剧情还行。让我想起了夺宝奇兵里面的棺材飞出的幽灵，不过，没什么关系。
三星半吧，题材和节奏效果不错，全程紧张刺激感还行，就是有些点过于尬了，比如葛大爷的双枪。
不知道怎么说 好像挺好看 挺娱乐 也有些不错的段落 但感觉又有些拼凑感 中段的故事有点坍塌 更像一部贺岁片 煽情搞笑都不缺 古董的相关内容有一定的观影难度 片子也在极力压缩高格调鉴宝知识和一般观影者认知的距离 李现比他平时杂志商务红毯都要好 台词很硬表演也压得住场 辛芷蕾虽然做了次花瓶但也不露怯 现在国产商业片做到这样应该算不错了
拍得乱七八糟、莫名其妙，硬生生弄成一个解密闯关速通视频，就连台词设计、耍宝环节和镜头语言都有一股网剧味。我想看的正儿八经的商业电影，而不是这种劣质产物。
还可以吧，没有电视剧怨念感强，故事新说的意思～P.S.李现的“爸”叫得太违和了
真的好看！！！有大电影那味了，而且有的地方的光影真的好好看，虽然我不懂，但是好有质感，好舒服。顺便想说，李现真的好帅救命好帅好帅！！！极度养眼呲溜！
上影CGV大宁国际，3.3分。所谓推理毫无参与性的年代剧本杀，但是九十年代的年代感（一种混乱、暴力且未经更新的街景）的娱乐化使用还是不错的。另外就是第一场鉴宝戏的动画还蛮不错的，建议国内的国宝/国潮节目可以试试这个风格（估计没人用过就是比较贵了）。辛芷蕾、雷佳音还蛮迷人的，那个…… 李现是走（老成）靳东风么？
结尾仓促了些，李现拿到佛头后的人设反转稍显突兀，不过也不是什么硬伤，反正重点都落在雷佳音了，情节紧凑流畅，解谜没多烧脑但也没多白痴，喜剧部分做的也自然，以及李现视觉舒适度满分，冲着这片喊国产片没救的人，多得是伪装佳作的烂片给你们嚎。
我感觉可以出一个豆列，“那些年为了葛大爷看的烂片”。也可能是太喜欢电视剧了，感觉电影版连电视剧的一集都不如啊…
葛优身上的梗，都是需要互文的梗。看过电视剧对比整体节奏把握的还可以但是太轻易就找到答案了还是有点不够爽。葛优为什么有那么一瞬像冯小刚呢？我眼瞎了？
不过脑看看就中规中矩，要去细究逻辑就没法看了。
挺有意思的，好像学了一些古董知识，其实并没有，危险，为葛优而看~
李现这个药不然比不上乔振宇也就罢撩 连魏晨都不如 但是作为淑芬更让我接受无能的是剧本乱改 原著时间线是很严谨的 许一城和付贵兄弟相称 许和平高低要叫声叔 许愿得叫大爷的人物 饶是葛大爷是真大爷也还是不对 大爷不是大爷 佛头也就不是佛头了 这一锤子砸了三次佛头 谁能想到电影版是最拉跨的呢。
情节东一榔头西一棒槌哪哪不挨着 主演就各说各各比划各的（很难说得上是在表演）估计剧本就是长篇小说的万字简介水平 活该不卖
反转力度不够，局中局的第二个局简直太拉胯
