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".
:故意找你做伴娘么
这部电影理应得到更高的关注度，中国文化和历史的厚重，近代国家破灭山河摇摆，外有贼寇，内有汉奸，民不聊生的悲惨经历，导致中国文物大量被劫掠，流失。无论是在历史的大时代中的风起云涌的投机者，还是那些为了保全中国文物而付出生命的仁人志士，他们的生命是随着一件件文物古董颠沛流离而发生了不同的转向。这样的故事，不仅仅是让人们看到个体命运，更是告诉观众在一种文明遭受浩劫的时候，那些能够勇敢站出来反对命运的人们身上所迸发出的黯淡光芒，虽然仅仅只是一瞬间的闪耀，但是仍然灼伤黑暗的命运，将力量隔着时空，传递给后人。
看部电影差点被气晕，翰洁真的是最恶心的，为了自己把好朋友拉下水，建宇都觉得他是最坏的，居然还有人觉得他是被逼的没有办法了，那就祝你也有一个像翰洁这样的好朋友
剧情有些还是不那么严谨，但主题和视角挺新颖。校园霸凌，这次聚焦的不是作恶的孩子，而是不以为意更徇私舞弊的父母，更揭示了这种恶屡禁不止，就是家长的庇护和无视造成了孩子的仗势欺人。后面几番反转也很有意思。本来以为攻守同盟的家长团体，突然因为孩子们讨厌其中一个同伴而把他推出来顶缸，刚开始还有所不解，后来真相大白发现原来那个同伴一开始是霸凌的受害者，因为自己的害怕和懦弱出卖了朋友成了新的霸陵团体一员，也是挺让人唏嘘的。全员恶人的权贵家长，即使看似公正的前警察也不例外，分工合作，玩弄受害者与法律于股掌之间，又黑暗又血淋淋的。最后一番律师父亲无意发现，自己以为可怜被欺凌只是误入歧途的孩子才是幕后悲剧真凶，那种一时震撼与恐惧，但平静后仍是毁灭证据掩盖真相，最后一刻恢复平常，挺黑暗也挺现实，反而力度感很强。
葛大爷牛逼，雷佳音牛逼，好片，节奏很好，剧情完整
“咱们才是一伙的”，满座跑火车的葛大爷说的大实话怎么就没人信呢。
没看过小说，电影看的时候前面感觉还不错，很引人，但是我看到结尾感觉我没搞懂啊？让日本人以为是真的，让老朝奉以为是假的，可本质上还不是把真的送给日本人了嘛？
中国的夺宝奇兵和古墓丽影，还有点达芬奇密码的意思，商业上挺合格的，看着也爽，别深究，爽就完了，陪着媳妇看李现看的点映，这大哥一个表情演一个电影是真牛*
其实挺好看的，所有的剧情都能猜到，但又来几个反转让你意想不到。所以这样的模式设定就又有点公式化了。
整体太刻意了，过于戏剧化，反而弱化了社会性，可惜这么好的阵容了。
达内兄弟在《一诺千金》讲述的是如何面对父亲是个杀人犯，这里讲的是如何面对儿子是个杀人犯
道貌岸然的家长们，有恃无恐的加害者们，身处痛苦的家属与老师；用更为冷峻的笔触直指校园霸凌问题，并拒绝提供任何让人“感到满意”的结局和看得“爽”的进程。而是关于“TA会这样，是因为你，是因为你们所有人”的针对，也希冀传递更为深刻与直观的现实。开篇室内戏的勾角看得最爽，有种接近于去年全篇幅处理枪控问题《弥撒》的质感；后面试着揭示儿子的参与与辩护那部分没有做得有点失控，但它依然足够抓住和牵动。
只要别细想，这部电影的娱乐性还是很能带动观众的，把古董局中局拍出了盗墓笔记和鬼吹灯的感觉，特效也很不错。
让我想到一部双城计中计
看了这么多les片 不知道是不是也有文化和经历上非常贴近的原因 这是我第一次看到大破防……一开始还觉得有些情节蛮生涩刻意 到了在教堂里互相戴头纱那块开始忽然情绪失控 继续雨里kiss那里到结束都哭成傻*……可能有很多话我都曾经说过一样的吧
好久没看到这么规整、标准的商业类型片了，基本水平都在，真是全靠同行衬托……
感觉李咏蓝被李芯悦掰弯了，然后被李芯悦抛弃……两家的爸爸都好温暖啊，李芯悦可能想的太多了，所以最终还是臣服于世俗。电影有些地方很细腻，但是整体感觉有点跳跃额
剧情流畅，几个角色形象都是对的（除了李现同志的配音，太出戏了），葛大爷简直提升了整个电影的质感！作为周末随便消遣一下的电影，可以忽略很多过于明显的bug，算是合格了。多打一星拉一下评分…
前有剧本杀式电影《扬名立万》，后有密室逃脱式电影《古董局中局》，挺有意思。影片的槽点很多很多，但是叙事节奏还行，笑点穿插其间，作为一部院线商业片，还行。
年终适合带家里人一起嗨嗨皮皮进电影院的片子。。。
