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".
笨拙地引用类型，但却过早放弃了语气，最终呈现为一幅没有入口的图解。因此每次反转和解构都令人疲惫
恶人得意得益
达妹真的太美了，非常适合简奥斯汀笔下聪慧美貌带有一丝俏皮可爱的女主。除了Mr.Eillot最后竟然… 其他都很好。台词美得想反复阅读。画面以及导演手法也很好。
非常失败和糟糕的改编，简奥斯汀看到自己的书改成这样能气活。不光有色人种选角十分可怕，女主也演得很差，口音都不带练一下的吗？
血腥程度升级。但是，双杀手的人，太容易被猜到了。续集回到原版的吐槽，有趣一些。杜威的死，意想不到。
不得不说，有某几个地方还真让我看到了点老恐怖片的影子。但整体还是让人觉得有点自作聪明。
医院难道检查不出男的喝了酒吗 既然知道开车的人喝了酒 被撞的人就检测不出来？ 用花臂展示力量 我的天呐 那抽烟 喝酒 烫头就是女性崛起的必经路 越不健康越社会就是崛起 就是权利 我的个天 女主角的声音真的好沙哑 有勇无谋的和无法无天的下三滥斗 怎么赢啊 那样的父亲怎么会爱自己孩子呢 找孩子要钱补缴保险 赌钱 让女儿睡在那种地方 劝她去学技术上班赚钱好多压榨一点钱 整个电影都在说女主角的惨痛生活 想讲女权 又很白痴 显得女性真的天生比较白痴 记者在采访的时候就该曝光他 有点想讲是她个人 完完全全凭借自己的力量去战斗 好像又讲不清楚 只能说她觉醒了 知道反抗了 这比千篇一律的胜利更有意义 开始不顾一切的反抗才是最难的 有蜕变 这最难
好气哦，不好看呀！另外《惊声尖笑》对我影响太大了，一看这个面具就想笑～
出乎意料地难看，就不和剧版比较了，2020版《Emma》同样的简奥斯丁翻拍都要比这个成功多了……精华部分全在预告片里了
我觉得还行。女主面对镜头自说自话这点是从伦敦生活里得到灵感的吧～海滩一幕挺美。
眼花缭乱的政治正确, 古代与现代的奇怪杂糅，空洞的角色塑造-- 为原作感到惋惜
5.5/10。「拍得挺好的，就是有点烂。」系列出到第五部，该用的情节和手法基本上山穷水尽，然而架不住导演和编剧灵光突现，硬是打着致敬首作的名义把第一部又拉来复刻一次，大玩模式解构和套路吐槽，顺便借角色之口告诉传统制片厂「怎么拍好一部流行文化的恐怖片」，导致全片的喜剧氛围盖过惊悚感，一度感觉看的是《惊声尖笑》而非《惊声尖叫》。Dewey领便当稍微有些接受不能，不过最后的「For Wes」依旧情怀拉满。
不公平、不幸的世界，有人更有权，有人更有钱，有人说谎，有人动粗，有人活着，有人死去。
女主太美了 没看过原著的话 真的还是蛮好看的呀 就是快进版🤣
我喜欢愤怒的少女。找不到工作的时候看点这种片子，内心会更加压抑，但会获得悲剧性的升华。
这就是…美版琼瑶剧吧～但是脱离“劝导”倒也不算反感！哈哈 女主独白太跳脱了，减一星
女主虽然很帅，打架也爽，但脑子实在捉急，气！
1小时5分左右医院大战那场戏真是傻逼的可以！
'You're young. You don't know what the future has in store. You will rally, and you will be happy again.'
安分守己的人就只能忍气吞声了呗，呵呵。另外，这个字幕组的OCR痕迹挺明显啊。。。
