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".
开始觉得太小打小闹了，平铺直叙，模式化，然后想想不就是一群在土里打滚的人儿呀，哪有那么多波澜壮阔的大事啊，可这些不都是大事吗
就像钢刀插入敌胸膛,
电影的结局不同于电视剧版本的，显得较为悲壮！但这也是八年抗战的缩影——一群普通人干着同一件不普通的事，甚至不惜献出自己年轻的生命！电影整体节奏还是很快的，如同几倍速的电视剧版本🤣
电影镜头很漂亮，也很用心，但除了范伟老师以外没有任何趣味点
还不如成龙的铁道飞虎，通篇惨白色，还以为是致敬国师，结果最后来了一发照明弹？日军一点压迫感都没有，把游击队衬托得神通广大，龙套关系户忒多，万幸周也挺亮眼
抗日战争片拍的如此平淡无味也是没想到，全片最大的亮点是范伟老师，呈现了另一种帅的英雄形象。
20220110le。范伟真是个难得的好演员啊。和他对戏的那小伙子也不错。
3星+新人导演0.5星。范伟丢手雷真的全片最燃了。比起张涵予和小庄的线，还是范伟那边的“父子”线更好，而且好太多了……对铁道游击队自带感情滤镜，他们真的太伟大了。在那样被侵略的年代，有人当汉奸，有人沉默（估计我是自己了断的那个），却有工人选择站出来，自发组织抵抗，蜉蝣撼大树，明知不可为而为。靠着游击力量是不可能打赢抗战的，但却需要有人站出来，致敬。
演员和美术道具可以，导演剧本摄影剪辑都差点意思，彪哥手雷那段高光，不愧是后世辽北第一猛人。游击队的故事本来是最富戏剧性和场景丰富性的，南斯拉夫的《瓦尔特保卫萨拉热窝》，《桥》。
除了海报上的两位主角，其他的人物确实有点薄弱，但影片的年代感和氛围也确实营造得不错，抗日英雄的血泪事迹很感人，却不煽情。
3.9 人物刻画的有意思，snuff film的演绎也好，恐怖片一旦节奏慢下来就很显得高级是这样么
我们先辈的英雄电影给拍成这样，处处都假的不行。剧情有似没有，莫名其妙迷迷糊糊，大雪纷飞一头雾水。只有范伟老师一个人在认认真真塑造着角色。包括张涵予在内所有人物都被蒙在皑皑白雪后面看不清楚。要不是时间太晚，我都想把老电影《铁道游击队》再看一遍。
姑且不说电影怎么拉胯，片尾曲是我听过史上最恶心的改编。
出乎意料，C闲的没事随便翻来看的片子，看前几个镜头就决定等我一起看。还挺有意思，主要是人物塑造挺扎实，故事讲得也不落俗，没把日本人当傻蛋，有好对手才能凸显咱们的英明神武嘛。镜头节奏都可以，有几场戏还挺让人紧张的，没想到是新导演，挺惊喜。对了，色调和美术都做得很好，显得很有质量，电影感足。结尾大战有点拖沓，带着老王也有点不明所以。女性依然是补血的角色，而且各种巧合，也是无奈。白斗篷的设置挺好，要不这么黑，扒车实在很难看清人物。唯一的遗憾，这里面最会说方言的小么哥居然一口京腔，是为了配合其他几个演员么？！
真没想到这么好看！细节做得极其扎实。导演在这样的故事题材和预算里，把能做的都做足了，视听语言功底非常优秀。
铁道游击队之生怕日本人不知道我是主角而从未脱下大帽子
范伟的个人演技秀，映衬得所有人都黯然失色。
想看范伟和张涵予飙戏，结果并没有。范伟的演技还是非常稳当的，能展示出面对日本侵略者那种不屑一顾。
但如果作为商业电影，本质是猫鼠斗的叙事节奏控制的不好张力松弛变化不佳偏沉闷。从海报来看作为双雄类型片，但张涵予的人物角色脸谱化服装脱离群众且表现的比较平。
太平淡了，怪不得评分不高票房不佳，导演虽然作品不多但是影像风格还是有的，可惜节奏和内容把控较差，没有拍出大家想看到的铁道英雄。
