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".

哦原来他就是多兰
新生代剧场版之前只看过令迦那一部，包括这一部，是真的毫无意思啊
整部剧场版里的怪点至少都比剧里好，整体还行
前半段的繁缛没能撑起来这么久的期待，但幻灭的塌陷却如此迅猛确实又让人有一丝惊喜。看了眼法媒凡以“critique”为主要生计的在一众评价不算太好哈。文学版盖茨比，整体也不如马丁伊登。又犹豫了一下还是没舍得多给一颗星。
仅仅保留宏大但丧失了细节，整个片子节奏就是没有一条路走到黑，不过演员的发挥还是非常出色，能帅能深沉
反映了当年新闻报纸行业的状况，相当自由，看来好评一直比差评难写。时间有点长了
真的不错，最拉的是打戏，但文戏方面武居真的比坂本稳太多了，剧情方面根元虽然不能算优秀但吊打久弥完全没问题，这次剧场版和新生代剧场版比真的太可以了，文戏方面基本和艾克斯剧场版持平，不得不说武居这次发挥的真的不错，而且这次也真的比tv最终回强太多了，有致敬迪迦的点，也有自己的创新，时长方面只比隔壁ooo十周年剧场版多20分钟但节奏把握也没毛病
喜欢这个改编，情节更着重Lucien去到巴黎后的部分，突出1820s波旁王朝复辟时期，巴黎的文学、媒体、戏剧、贵族圈的“怪物”群像。把Lucien的尴尬拍得让观众都尴尬。围绕Lucien的人都有俩俩对比，风流狂妄的记者Étienne Lousteau和相对高尚的写作者 Nathan d’Anastazio；自私怯懦的贵妇和痴心单纯的女演员。编辑部里鸭子四散走，猴子决定一本书的好坏。影像里层出不穷的荒诞意象，与多兰不断提示悲惨结局的旁白交错推进，Lucien越是接近梦想中的巴黎贵族生活，观众越是悬而未定地惊心。就讽刺得很性感。
这次的剧情确实比tv版要很多，无论是文戏还是打斗方面，前面比较慢，后面就收尾的有些仓促，总体来说👌很不错了！武居yyds！
和tv对比下来好的不得了，不上不下还OK吧，但是tv留在我心里的疙瘩还是去不掉的。
就很一般吧
虽然我不喜欢看历史题材，但还是很精致，小鳄鱼终于拿凯撒了，撒花
是比tv版好看多了，行为逻辑说得过去，起码不那么尬了
风头完全被遥辉抢了呢，到底是谁的主场啊！时常原因，邪特最后死的有点草率了。出场怪兽数量倒是不少，但总有点那么不尽人意……
三星半 ，一改tv乱七八糟的设定，故事遵循了传统三幕式结构，讲的很稳很扎实，微笑和光的主题终于突显了出来。最让我欣慰的一点，胜利队每个人的人设终于有所体现，而不是全员中二。你说有缺点那缺点确实还是蛮多的，比如武戏比较平，姐夫人物转变少了很多描绘，但能接住这么烂的tv而且拍的超出预期，真的很高兴了。武居导演本身有很多不错的单集作品，在罗布奥特曼第一次尝试总导演，特利迦剧场版渐入佳境，非常期待他的德凯奥特曼。

男一和男二才是CP，我们都误会女一了。
不是我瞎编，是史诗巨作只拍出了地摊文学的感觉。And，到底是谁选泪沟哥本杰明挑大梁的？文森特和多兰都比他好太多了！不过，文森特什么时候能瘦回当年啊？本片旁白最好，功劳归于巴尔扎克，和导演无关。
这次想要说一说精英胜利队，TV里的这些人如同混子一般，虽然存在但起不到任何作用，但在Z篇，无论是开头击杀巴格斯还是对阵邪特或者是和剑悟之间的羁绊，精英胜利队终于有了一个防卫队的样子。我还是认为彰人和结名可以合为一个角色，这样的话能和剑悟之间有更深的羁绊描写，分开写则给人感觉羁绊都被弱化了。
