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".
不过派大星说他曾“幸福地在宇宙中漂浮凝视繁星”时我确实被戳中了。
看来漫威的尺度还是太压抑滚导的天性了。。可谓是一次后续很难复制的DC中兴吧，大框架上并没太突破传统超英电影的窠臼，但如此的恶趣味与血浆暴力大爆发已足够让它独树一帜了。特别是看到一些评论提到的派大星对新冠的隐喻，真的是妙不可言啊~
合格爆米花+视觉亮点，过关。像第二部《银河护卫队》，更《莫娣》式《异形》，高潮不如前戏有风味。滚导也太懂怎么让哈莉·奎因／玛格特·罗比散发魅力了吧，海洛因白皮搭探戈红裙配梦幻花朵特效真是天才，最后眼里海洋一尾美人鱼，黑童话版迪士尼啊。鼠疫拯救世界不要太搞喔，大有「用魔法打败魔法」之感。在套路里反套路玩得超溜，看得开心。
爆笑如雷，谁曾想到有一天手撕鬼子能在超英片里发挥巨大作用，除了对老鼠恐惧症，密集恐惧症和血浆恐惧症的观众不太友好以外，总体来说简直是这个夏天最解压的爽片，哈莉实在美炸了！尤其是出逃那段全片最佳！对唯一横跨漫威和DC的滚导致敬，看了第一部几乎不觉得这系列能被救活，没想到那么棒。滚导可真的是个集合了邪恶与天真的恶童鬼才导演呐~希望还能继续两边都拍~~
很難給分的電影，對我來說，惡趣味的劇情，意外覺得好看。幾場暴力鏡頭感到美學的高度，好久沒看到噴血如此美的鏡頭
DC终于出息了！小丑女大杀四方那段足以载入暴力美学史册！大有《杀死比尔》、《王牌特工》的高光时刻！
7.5/10 整体相当惊喜。算是《银河护卫队2》的r级放大版，古恩褪去了前者的畏手畏脚，在这部中将自己的恶趣味无厘头等元素进行放大融合，重复的反高潮和开头对文本的照应相当大胆和惊喜。类似《overlord》的简单剧本和指向化目标，轻快的节奏和却为人物关系的简单构造和平面塑造提供无限契机，辅以恰到好处的政隐，最可喜的是明快的质感，如同漫画作者般的创作，才是超英可贵的本源。

看得很happy！鲨鱼老鼠好可爱！(但是怕老鼠的人要注意！有很多很多老鼠)哈莉女神yyds！还有一点小小的感动
鲨鱼王竟然是史泰龙。
确实很搞笑！滚导在超级英雄电影这块应该算喜剧功力第一人。本片其实比《死侍》更夸张，更疯狂。作为群戏，角色大都比较出彩，特别是鲨鱼人、小丑女、和平使者和扔彩条的哥们。结尾还是有点弱，关键在于片子很有趣，可真的是没讲出啥东西来，这点上反而不如《死侍》。
婚纱小丑女突突突，和手撕敌人的鲨叔，爱了爱了
I'm an assassin! Why would I share my liabilities?
嗯，够恶心，够十三点，连大boss都那么~~~十三点。哈莉真酷啊·~~~
华纳早TM放手让导演去搞R级多好。除了漫威式嘴炮玩笑不喜之外，其他都很好，至少放开来玩了，又暴力又可爱才是小队啊。旗哈我嗑了！彩蛋居然不是我喜欢的那位复活，而是…生气！还我旗队！
没钱吗还是怎样全片到处是蠢钝钝的五毛特效，鲨鱼好傻啊，weasel真的没必要啊超级uncanny 虽然也有一些好笑的点 否则基本是靠Quinn拯救全场
萌贱介于死侍毒液之间…开头炮灰TDK最好笑…不解为何比第一集高分那么多…胖海星和鲨鱼nom nom最萌…美帝自黑…
我觉得好的反英雄电影最关键就是别整啥政治正确、价值观输出了，就爱咋咋地，开心就好。
分级：R
罗比的眼睛越来越像石头姐，我的眼泪在nanaue面前不值钱。The quirky randomness reminds me of Doom Patrol.
