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".
剧本吐槽，女孩失踪后剧情有往校园欺凌和家庭教育方面走偏，不过最后还是成功回归鬼屋，还有明知屋子可能有某些灵异东西，还那么放心让小男孩到处玩，生怕小孩不出事吗？
让我想到了龙岭迷窟里的悬魂梯；还有《怪奇物语》的异世界！很惊喜的一部作品，大结局好评！
什么机罢玩意 还那么多高分？不恐怖就不说了 这剧情是啥？一只来自地狱的山羊怪 从古至今吸走了数以万计的人们 不为献祭 不为力量 只要求让他们在那数数 这他妈是我见过最善良的恶魔了 感动。
用数学和物理来讲的邪教故事，说了一大堆，就是说他们家可以通向地狱，然后一家人都消失了，没有he真的有点难受。
铺垫太长了，怪物设计的很有意思，片子的喻义也不错，很多人脑海深处一部分都压抑着自己对亲人的怨恨
略显疲软的恐怖片，剧情撑不起个半小时的片长，预算全用在最后了。一般般。
Haunted house never gets old.
谷阿莫，应该是部不错的恐怖片，重要的是经网友提示，片中演母亲是伊丽莎，《邻家女优》的尤物，哦天哪！又看谷阿莫讲了一遍，20年转瞬即逝，她突然出现在我面前。
本来觉得结局很烂。区区一介凡夫俗子这么容易从灵界找到女儿并躲过恶魔。这不是来搞笑的么。还好结尾的反转终于拉回了一些。结局并不残忍啊。非要大团圆才是好么
挺好看的，不能总拿温子仁说事儿，要百花齐开，这片质量相当不错了，片源上来就是hdr的，值得表扬。
三星给最后10几20几分钟才登场的盒子怪～～～怪物造型非常非常克～～～好像血源里的boss，又怪又美又恐怖又膈应～～～像个大蛾子又别扭的扭曲着胳膊腿～反正这个怪物形象戳中我的点～～～但是除此之外真没啥好看的……前半程不停的压抑压抑一惊一乍，最后才开始高能，精神都耗得差不多了才把最精彩的盒子怪放出来～～～结局小加半星，女主黑化其实在预料内，盒子怪吃下祭品的脑袋就算结成羁绊了对吧？所以根本不是房东兄弟说的必须要女性祭品～～～嘿嘿有点讽刺。
不错，可以看。里面还涉及了薛定谔的猫的理论，挺不错的，分有点给低了
最后是女主坚强的意志把鬼物制服了？然后又体会了鬼的厉害，自己住下来开始重复包租公兄弟的事业了？
电影的冷色调 ，恐怖镜头多运用于窄视角使人有压迫紧张感 。底层人民的残酷生活 ，母亲的离世 ，亲戚的冷眼 ，蛮横的上司 ，被朋友骗钱 ，加上恐怖的公寓 ，全程一直揪着心 。女主初期给人印象被亲情束缚顾及母亲舍弃前程 ，一直压抑自己 ，最后爆发弑母后创伤性遗忘 ，箱子里的魔神是吃感情执念较深被情感束缚的女性 ，箱子选择了房东哥哥是因为哥哥没有人性残暴 相比于弟弟每次行凶都于心不忍良心发现所以说箱子没有选择弟弟 最后在魔神的幻境里女主想起了自己弑母的经过 魔神选择了她 杀死哥哥后魔神治好了她断掉的脚赋予她生命力 所以说感情执念深的都死了 残暴自利的被魔神看上
恐惧源于内心，既能控制人心，也能重获新生。
——后来巴风特闪亮登场，我才意识到自己其实是期待了个寂寞~~
还可以，结尾看着很带感，前期有点墨迹，很多细节处理不好，怪物造型不错。女主住进公寓，公寓两个男主用租客供养蝴蝶怪，蝴蝶怪可以让男主有自愈能力，女主不断收到已死租客鬼魂警告，让观众以为公寓闹鬼，有争议的地方蝴蝶怪只吃被自己幻像迷惑的人，女主摆脱了幻像，蝴蝶怪没吃她，女主干掉两个男主，把其中一个献祭给蝴蝶怪，竟然有了自愈能力，结束，6.8
题材挺好的怎么后半段这么烂啊 恨铁不成钢的泪TAT还是期待太高了
所以，简单来说就是一个数学家无意中发现了开启地狱的咒语，还TM制成了录音胶片。每次播放录音就是打开了地狱的大门，之前没播放完所以只打开了大门，牢头上不来。最后一次彻底播放完录音，所以地狱和现实整个房子彻底联通了，不过这是单程票，能进不能出。
前期坑儿女，后期用生命去救了个寂寞。我还吐槽这恶魔好弱，蛊惑一个人费这么大劲，还地狱七王子之一，结果地狱里充满了counting的迷魂。只要进入宅邸这个结界，你就再也出不去了。
