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".
就是有种电影，你觉得也没揭示什么人生大道理，但就是看完觉得满足和温暖，意犹未尽
也不是说预期太低倒有些超出预期了，虽然是个喜剧，但子墨明显还是有些想法，这个电影玩得也开心，致敬了很多经典电影，嘲讽了很多圈内现象，还是有万和那个味儿的。
从老秦的演技开始崩，后面逐渐都崩了，整体台词演技有些撑不起来，悬疑和反转就还可以，张本煜有点王千源的感觉啊演的不错
把她变成死尸是保护她的最好方式，不去拍她肩膀才能让她平静地活着，因为那一笔带过的越南两船相撞是隐含的永远逃不脱的命运，冲这一点，创作者对现实的悲观态度已经很明显了。
喜欢唱歌的“夜莺”被三老强奸，一直在身边保护“夜莺”的齐乐山杀死了三老，并且帮助“夜莺”在天花板通道逃走。为了保护“夜莺”名声，自己回到了案发现场，制造“夜莺”死了的假象……警察为了包庇三老（可能有警官参与），便毁掉了案发现场，不准继续调查，也不准拍成电影……最后几名电影工作者还是决定按照原计划拍电影揭发……电影放映那天，“夜莺”出现了，李家辉明白了真相，但是没有打扰她，这是齐乐山誓死保护的女孩，他为什么要打扰她了？
我看来是标准的三星半电影，这个电影优点是剧本做的完整细致，缺点肉眼可见的穷；镜头语言太单薄了；导演功底实在不行，演员也太一般了。 前面有些废话，例如发现齐乐山是凶手也太磨叽了，李达爬通风管道的镜头太长了可以改进。 为了反转的惊艳齐乐山前期应该亦正亦邪，中期应该更凶恶让人感觉他就是真正的杀人犯。但是电影一上来就感觉齐乐山是好人有隐情，看到最后也只能给人一种果然不出所料的感觉。如果这个角色换成孙红雷在全民目击里那个感觉就比较对，但是齐乐山是全剧戏眼，现在差意思了，所以电影也差意思了。当然主要是导演的锅，在搞笑上花了很多没必要的废笔（比如跳舞那段整个没必要）。梗很多，但是很多是没必要加的梗，看到了《闪灵》《无间道》等众多经典镜头/台词，甚至还有爸，我回来了？ 很多演员表演痕迹挺重的，实在出戏。
太煎熬了，一个多少小时都在想要不要站起来走了！三十分钟可以讲完的故事硬生生演了两个小时，形式大于内容，不停地拍细节，制造对话，其中能够扣到情节的部分少之又少。
前半段以为电影就是这样了，舞台剧感偏重，节奏有些拖沓，本来也没抱太大期望。结果后半段异常精彩，而且反转得出乎意料。我想说，不愧是这帮人啊，我永远尊敬编剧。1.尹正最后收回的手，意味着他的改变。2.感受到了他们作为电影行业创作者的初心，感动。3.本煜真帅，太帅了！
剧本杀式的剧情和展开，若是都能说成开创了一种电影的新类型，那电影的本质和地位可能需要都重新评估。
在十三区高楼大厦林立旁的国图电影院看这部电影有别样的意义：这是Elisabeth作为女性自立坚韧的故事，围绕中年、婚姻、家庭，但从另一位旅人塔露拉从被抛弃到找到支点的故事，没那么多复杂的弯弯绕，中间注入了作者私藏的80年代巴黎影像。神奇的剪接在时间里游走。巴黎永远是当代的，参与当代人的自我建构，潜入当代文化影视的文本，它和电影互相成就彼此。
就，都靠同行衬托吧。蛮多地方都做得挺不好的，但又没不好到糟糕的地步，属于特别闲着没事可以看看打发时间，但这在国产商业片里也就算好的了。整个体量还是更像个舞台剧，中间跳舞和武打演员试图爬通风口，都有点凑时长的味道，根本原因还是人物关系建立得过于单薄和简单。不是说封闭空间的群像戏就一定会拍得像舞台剧，而是在于导演能不能通过封闭空间里人物关系的变化进行影像调度，但这方面本片显然是很失败的。所谓的几次反转都意义不大，既没有真的推动人物关系变化，也没有带来让观众特别意料之外的真相。归根到底还是这几个人物的塑造都太单薄，甚至说句重的，卡通化。
故事的反转做的真的很棒！！这点真的给我很多惊喜！！不太多剧透了。影片最后的结尾，让人突然能够回忆起整个故事开始前，给人一种很强烈的恍惚感，让观众从深入其中的代入感中猛的抽离出来。真的很爱！
我觉可！娱乐和解谜兼备，有三谷幸喜神韵的元电影（&强烈舞台剧感）：喜剧、密室、群戏的模式，一组失意“无能者”聚集起来向某目标发起挑战并以此洗刷心志，莎婆味儿追寻真相抚慰人情的软推理斗智，还有戏里戏外知其不可而为之的勇气……全程铺桥段释放信息的节奏很稳，电影梗有会心一笑：影视媒体黑话啦、正片里看预告片啦、闪灵梗啦、老上海想象啦、默片段子啦等等，影迷会看得蛮乐呵吧；内核有一丢丢想到《白夜行》（白化版），种种伏笔到后期都扣上了，节节反转（到结尾都没停）做得蛮精心的。用这种形式影射404型社会现实，也算是机智的曲线救国，值得鼓励。
当然影片的一些角色逻辑动机可以再推敲斟酌下，部分密室揭秘过程可以再利索些，不过导演从一开始就牢牢抓住桌底下希区柯克式的定时炸弹，一直带着观众冲刺到最后完成度很高，2个小时观影很快过去。
编剧团队真的太多惊喜，带着一点点万合天宜的熟悉感，在短短的两个小时里，每个角色都有自己完整的故事，每个角色都是让人能够记住的，没有单纯的工具人，没有简单的纸片人。
剧本杀式的剧情和展开，若是都能说成开创了一种电影的新类型，那电影的本质和地位可能需要都重新评估。
算是很治愈，淡然。在我放弃了一定要在电影里提炼些什么的想法，我发现这种美的写意。
我发誓再也不看国产低成本密室悬疑剧了，看吐了，演技浮夸，剧情生硬，民国乱世风，每一点都让我很难受。这种烂俗场景风格的电影竟然还有人吹，而且这种风格还越来越多。。
“你知道最可怕的是什么吗？
好真诚的电影 很久没有如此平静的看完一部电影但最后却被温柔裹住 巴黎的夜空是清澈的 照着路过的每一份炙热的爱 每一个遗憾的别离 每一个跨过的苦难 却仍然过境无痕 Talulah是我们每一个人 每一个渴望被爱却知道世界的无常不忍面对现实 旅客只是短暂的出现一下而已 私心很喜欢 这才是电影
