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".
人设也别扭，到最后对爸爸这个角色我都没有扭转一开始又倔又不听话老头的印象，始终无好感。而且强加的父子矛盾……水里面陶虹那段大特写，有美感也有惊悚感，就是和故事格格不入……很别扭啊，矛盾也没讲好，不如就一对普通父子可能更共鸣。
不入戏没有代入感，作为灾难片就没看点啊，就像之前那部《紧急救援》，没有亮点，没有记忆点，看了跟没看一样。看得人瞌睡～
题材特效还可以，节奏也还行，就是整体空间搭建有点儿乱了，尤其是景别角度一混合就开始跳
&朱老师那纵身一跃真是让我下意识“啥”出声
父亲的死，尤其是。
最后半小时，真的尬出血了，槽点太多了，从徒手攀岩，到两人打电话，再到跳跃直升机
愚公移山是神话 但可以不止神话
不足之处，就是有些拖沓，如果电影时长控制在90分钟左右就更好了！
小洪同学太猛了，地质勘探，攀岩，飙车，爆破，潜泳样样精通，水陆空全才，这比特种兵牛多了，不现实的赶脚啊！尤其最后父子一起攀岩那段太夸张了，世界顶级攀岩高手也不可能在雨中做到的！至于这隧道挖了十年，这是在侮辱我基建狂魔大中华吗？十年，别说挖隧道，这时间在山峰间架桥都够干俩回了吧！我最不满意的一点是，我看之前就猜到了父子在一起冒险时老爸会先死的情况，能不能不要这么容易猜中啊。影片有不少问题，但整体可看性还是有的。从我的角度来说，这片子给3星6.6分-6.8是正常的。但因为影片结尾那段对铁道兵的致敬，我愿意抬一下，给4星7分！
角色反复横跳让我感觉有些情节就是硬写出来煽情的
但拍摄方式和铺垫实在不令人信服
对影视行业的讽刺力度只是隔靴搔痒，但两位男主的表演确实精湛。
一是敬佩
2021.10.8观于fdu相辉堂。那位徒手攀岩的外国能人已经是攀岩界顶尖的存在，尚且要勘察地形、反复操练、养精蓄锐、装备齐全再徒手攀岩，而本片的男主遭遇大雨、岩体易碎、着力点极少，难度呈几何倍增长吧？！不过，必须向中国铁道兵致敬！这是本片的主旨所在，可惜着墨不多！
“在灾难面前，西方人的传说是诺亚方舟，我们祖先的故事是精卫填海，愚公移山。”
暴雨徒手攀岩的设定太不符合现实，还有洪翼舟父子从洞里出来靠游泳，剩下被困的人如何出来的？就没交代了，反正瞬间就跳跃到下一阶段了。还有洪父做脚点的设定既违背人性也违背客观可能性，不太能接受。最后洪父牺牲，洪翼舟都把救命的绳子主动解开了，然而后面来了个直接飞跃直升机？还飞跃成功了？就逻辑漏洞一大堆😂但朱一龙的演技确实进步了很多。
多少人为了赶工程、救灾而忽略了家人；又或是给儿子当“跳板”坠山时还敬军礼、前铁道兵的他又觉得又有价值；又或是为了保县城决定炸了他们十年心血的桥梁隧道、她与她的兵在一起！！
第一次了解基建人，真的很不错，就是票房我觉得还可以再好一点。
是因为有朱一龙才看的，但是就电影本身而言看得很感动。电影讲好了一个故事，略有点夸张的情节。
灾难片全程惊险又刺激，全员演技在线情感表演的非常细腻，看的眼睛都哭花了😭
