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".
把原著改简单了，李现毫无演技可言，雷大头用力过猛，连葛大爷都有点带跑偏了…
影片是标准的商业化拍法，不断的解谜反转，还附赠了小幽默，具体可以参照《国家宝藏》的叙事结构。
郭导行活儿水平真的很高，希望未来能遇到更出色的剧本
应该删了很多原著的细节，节奏有点快，有些东西没交代清楚。葛大爷永远是你葛大爷。
雷佳音他们从他爸房间离开的时候为啥不把那堆摩斯密码给弄乱？
7/10自我感觉还是挺不错的，故事虽然比较简单，但是整体呈现还是挺丰富的，鉴宝，夺宝，解谜，下墓，揭秘，按部就班没有惊喜却也完成的很工整，当然几个演员也是影片的加分项，除了主角雷佳音外，最惊喜的还是葛大爷和咏梅，为影片增加了不少亮点。
强行煽情，葛优的角色都没立住，最后强行让大爷牺牲，强行煽情，差评。男女一没有感情递进，女一有生扑男一的嫌疑，没有前史，没有感情递进，两人的战斗友情从何谈起。
要是没看过电视剧真是有点难以跟上他们的节奏，啥也没交代清楚就演完了…演完了…我还挺喜欢三个主角的，三个人各演各的也是难得。现在才知道电视剧讲的还真挺不错的…..
原著四部本应拥有着高度适应电影改编的节奏，非要浓缩成一部电影毫无疑问会破坏故事的完整性，整部电影像是在以正常速度播放着二倍速前进的剧情。
解密爽片，张力十足。在阴谋之下，还有人性光辉
一堆编剧凑出这故弄玄虚的戏，动作、悬疑、玄幻、情感等元素没一样玩出亮点。
高仿的赝品，方方面面都卡在一个尴尬的位置，试着跟人物，跟事件，跟逗趣，都没能跟着看下去……🙂
雷大头和辛芷蕾还蛮有电的，葛大爷也是依旧演技爆表。剧情很紧凑，很舒服的从头看到尾，不过还有很多没交代的只能等等看有没第二部了。今年看过的商业片里最爱之一。
日本人要是不还呢？这是什么逻辑？
节奏太奇怪了，李现还是需要配音的。。。台词实在太差。。。
尚可（模仿百里二郎语气🤣）。有被爽到但不过瘾，瑕疵很明显。逗趣解谜，层层递进。但故事需要更多的细节来充盈，角色还可以做到更丰富，几对人物间的关系拉满，但整体都被简化了，就总觉得差点意思。富贵的死有点套路了，不过三人的表演还是给我往戏里拉了一点。想用特效视觉来呈现古董鉴定的过程，但实际效果做的并不好。或许是想象力不够，只是用动画的形式辅助声音解说，完全展现不出古董鉴定的专业技术性。最后，只有李现说话感觉和其他人不一样，和表演不契合，好像配音！
表面上一本正经的解谜，内地里屌丝大战高富帅。
紧张刺激悬疑，不认真想看着还挺过瘾。。就是故事整体的逻辑不禁推敲。。最后真的还是送给日本的那个，也就是说就算没发现人家也是真的，意义没变还是汉奸。。还有佛头是不是太过结实了，什么石头做的用铁锤重锤可以只砸坏表面，里面丝毫不受影响？。一堆谜题解开差点还死墓里结果还是个假佛头也确实太费周章了吧。。
最讨厌醉汉了。没去电影院看。古玩圈水很深呀，一般人玩不起。直接上手触碰文物，连手套都不戴呀。中国人是很在意家庭背景的，清白很重要。雷佳音很适合演这种角色。葛优油嘴滑舌，当面一套背里一套，见人说人话，见鬼说鬼话。烤整猪，冒热气，好香呀。
有点子意思，这种谜题可以多一点，中国好玩的玩意儿这么多。
