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".
最后高潮部分杀的是真爽，你tm杀人就说杀人了，还整个连体婴糊弄nm谁呢，装tm的无辜，把精神分裂说的那么邪乎
看的是無刪減版本，實話，我覺得溫子仁選材這部不太行。。。
特别是倒着走路
中间又穿插一下潜伏的桥段。悬疑的感觉铺垫很不错。就是引进后剪掉了一些恐怖的镜头，显得人们总是大惊小怪的。没有脑洞的话，就看不出温子仁的巧思。还有就是一直以来的亲情核心是没有变的，这就是喜欢温子仁的原因
故事情節的各種畫面跟伏筆的份量都放得剛剛好
回归中小成本，铅黄氛围，新鲜玩法。双生变体潜移默化。★★★☆/7.5
但是整體驚悚的就是恰到好處
温子仁利用了自己鬼片导演的人设，前半场成功的把观众倒入传统的恐怖片的模式，各种灵异现象让我们相信马上又是一次驱魔的表演。后半程画风急转，展现了温导在驾驭各种商业类型题材上的功力，血腥暴力加气氛的渲染，看的肾上腺飙升，片子本身有一些说不通的地方，但是本格手法合理解释变格剧情无大的纰漏已经是高手了，加上优质的视听效果可以有一个好的分数。个人评价8分，因为国内版本的问题打个10分拉一下偏低的豆瓣评分！
2021年度亲情大戏，girls help girls forever！看样子是要拍第二部lol，片名（英文翻译）其实就点题了，片头给了很多线索，基本上恐怖片和悬疑推理片看得多的影迷保证开头10分钟只能能把剧情给猜出个70%，看到1/3能猜出全部。当个邪典小故事看就行了，剧情本身没太多的新意，基本是新瓶装旧酒，好在拍的不错。有的设计真的很有90年代香港风格，例如东方三侠和原振侠与卫斯理。男警是亚裔混血吧，长得不错，怎么不让他去演尚气哈哈哈哈哈哈（可惜就是长得东南亚了，给四星，毕竟要给温子仁面子，算是恐怖导演里面能保持品质的
看到一半就猜出那个人是女主的后半脑了。到后面真一点悬念都没。
希望大陆早日可以分级。
连体婴又玩出新花样，前半段真心套路，后半段才开始发力，概念做到自圆其说，倒着行走这个创意个人觉得是年度最佳动作设计，那个奖杯做的匕首铅黄味十足，各种元素都比2000年时期的slasher电影要更进一步，还在空间转换的特效上致敬了一波寂静岭。
安娜贝尔女主角
阉割版。某种程度上，也可以算做是一部“温馨的家庭片”吧！
好看嗎?...在與薩滿與鬼門之間選了這部但我這種鼠膽弱膀胱的看什麼都嚇, 溫子仁的才能算是把New Mutants或是Pennywise想做的東西拍成功了, 沒有新意但很有內容, 也是可以步上奈沙馬蘭的後塵來個溫子仁宇宙吧, 警官大人真帥想不到是英國人, 看完只記得英文片名完全想不起中文是什麼查了七八次每次都忘記幹台灣人取片名是不是有病...
拍的像美恐，又名生育与血缘执念引发的血案；麦肯娜·格瑞丝染掉了金发依旧是病娇童年女专业户；玩转人体奇迹不如《双瞳》来得吓人，那才是拆尼斯刻在骨子里的恐惧。而且惊悚设定让我想起我童年阴影《白发魔女传》里吴镇宇那个反派角色，小时候已经被吓过了！西方恐怖片对我而言=有冇mezco、neca搞玩具周边的余地？这部显然不大行了，温子仁宇宙安娜贝尔永远一番了。以及，别看删减版，把每场虐杀最精彩的血腥部分还有医院录像里加百列的幼态真实模样都删了。
脑电波控制视网膜的设定很妙，只是在脑电波控制电话信号上有些牵强。
这是最近很长一段时间以来，我看过的非常有新意的恐怖电影了。不但悬念的营造不生硬，谜底的揭晓也在出人意料的同时做到了逻辑通顺。
感觉制作很粗糙..少了一种质感. 特别是催眠那一段是我看过最简陋的太随意了。警局杀人那里倒是挺爽的，但是最后非常突兀的就结束了把科警察晾在一边就有点不明不白的。温子仁的作品不应该是这样的 说实话有点失望电影创意还是不错的如果能再打磨一下就好了。 6.5/10
男警探竟然是Janet的老公，之前看康熙好喜欢Janet，竟然能联动起来，感人！
