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".
还不错，虽然离奇，但是也给出了比较合理的解释。关于分身，只能理解为正常的那位被困在另一个在大脑中的幻像。
20220402：因为太喜欢所以还没隔多久就又看了一次。太完整了，本身专辑曲目很有连贯性，且风格多样。动漫形象也做得很好，转场加分。
theres reasons that im thankful theres a lot that im grateful for, how weird that we care so much until we dont, i dont deserve to feel so hurt
但也有几首听起来既视感特别震撼的 很不寻常
曾经拥有一个巨大畸胎瘤的我看完陷入沉思，当医生跟我说拿出来的东西有牙齿有头发，我立刻觉得不那么孤单了(重点非常错)。片子就一般，有点像刚出道的温。
虽然并不是纯粹的温子仁式恐怖片，但还是极具温子仁的个人风格，初看有死寂、招魂、潜伏的恐怖氛围，后面看着看着又有种电锯惊魂+海王的感觉……反倒是结尾还挺温情，看来温导结婚之后心境也跟着发生了巨大的变化。
孤儿复仇记..
精神分裂的变体，揭秘的那一下有点意思，但真的一点都不恐怖，结局也很牵强
温子仁就是恐怖片的神！去他的《海王》和《速度与激情7》吧，温子仁就应该拍一辈子的恐怖片！温子仁是恐怖片主宰！温子仁将注定写进世界电影史！《致命感应》跟《午夜凶铃》的创意有异曲同工之妙，都是恐怖超人系列。警察局大屠杀的灵感好像来自《双瞳》那段著名的血腥大屠杀。
听了她的现场，我比以往给更快乐。今年最爱的专辑
真的爽！出了中间一段wanda追逐戏太像恐怖片了有点不敢看，其他都超棒！！🎵攻击这个太炫了….不管是想法还是最后的声音设计都完美！！
音乐我感觉挺好听的，但是这部电影可以边看边做别的事
你是否也曾幻想另一个世界的你，幸福与否！
温子仁的创意总是很惊人，一个以实体方式寄生于女主身体内的反派，比纯精神分裂来的更令人毛骨悚然。除了部分剧情用了恐怖片老套路，总体气氛挺到位的。结尾就让我有点想不通了，女主怎么就突然觉醒了？我还以为女主要跟怪物同归于尽呢。另外最近的两部温氏恐怖片都已经走上“气氛+解谜”模式了，真正的超自然很少了
一小时的音乐现场表演，中间穿插了一些动画画面，原来碧梨在Met Gala上的造型是从这来的。
P：彩蛋的 塞隆 ，就是梦魇的女儿吧！
穿梭在多元宇宙也完全沒有能讓我感到震撼的人和事
节奏感很棒，一气呵成，温子仁拍惊悚爽片越来越得心应手了。
前半段“鬼屋”的调度如同温子仁前作，运镜的流畅度，干净利落的长镜头，一如既往地稳。后半程较以往温子仁电影有了极大不同，血腥，怪物，虐杀，足够酣畅淋漓，好似«阴风阵阵»«驱魔人»，加上创新似的较多中远景镜头和电子音乐，让整部影片既复古又前卫。
预告片下头，老毛子特效加 loki 的世界观，一点也不恐怖
