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".
经济不平等和精神（文化）不平等始终是造成政治存在的两大主要原因。在政治尚未消亡的情况下，社会的方方面面都是政治（意识形态）
一个年轻的女巫，好奇人类的世界，体验了做女人、狗、男人、小女孩，到长大成人结婚生子，感受到这个充满刺痛、恶心、嫉妒的世界，每一个女性，每一个我，然后呢？！
世界是残酷的，燃烧的，充满历史的，难以改变的。
【C-】对这种故作玄虚、自视清高、风格大于内容的民俗恐怖片实在是接受无能。
电影以谋杀案为引线，以风信子运动为背景，讲述了一个名为罗伯特的小警察在寻找真相的过程中与他的“线人”向往自由的艾瑞克展开了一段既暧昧克制又疯狂恣意的禁忌之恋。
审讯小可爱的时候，男主不敢抬头，小可爱看着他的眼神简直不要不要的，之前酒吧两人暧昧的感觉，到之后两人打破禁忌翻云覆雨！那一刻才感受到社会、政治的压抑得到释放后的如释重负和自由的负罪感，现实题材总能用一两句台词发打动所有人“人不能什么都怕，尤其是害怕自由”点睛之笔！
如果你没有做什么伤天害理的事，你骗了全世界又如何？只要你没有骗自己。颜值即正义，男主高富冷帅🤦♂️
A Ghost Story+致不灭的你（前16集）。
如上，本片不只象形各种神话性质的事实或建制；它还会意intelligence的心灵\灵韵，它渴望揭示，在人类生活的不同时代\世代，这颗心灵相信过什么、思考过什么、感受过什么。
《羊崽》之后，状态神勇的Noomi Rapace如常交出充满生命力的表演；会让人不断地感觉她的不可取替，以及在某类电影中拥有绝对位置的能量。你不是“人”，是端出面包和炖菜的工具，是负责持续生产的“机器”；镜头将故事倒回之前，持续沿着近年来为本土热爱的《夜莺》《朱迪与潘趣》，探索观察跨越时间的性别故事。当然在这之外。本身还想要创造更为感官上的恐惧与绝望；它的成品独特，并且不吝任何表达，这让人感觉到它还有更多。
导演肯定是基佬，拍女体血肉模糊拍男体活色生鲜，表面上女性主义其实最大看点是男色。
#Sundance 2022 美丽，悲伤，震撼，人生之诗。虽然节奏慢，但是很沉醉，有种“鬼魅浮生”的伤感，旁白的絮絮低语也带有种历经沧桑后依旧迷茫的困惑。
感觉谁遇到八字胡谁倒霉，小卷毛的狗狗眼太乖了。🥺
以独白的方式来造就疏离，以他者的身份审视女人与男人，以融合的方式来证明爱情的可能性；
在1985年至1987年间，波兰安全局展开了一个名为“风信子”的秘密行动，追踪和羁押境内的男同性恋者。
画面是血腥的，配乐是舒缓的，独白是散文诗。知道你在文艺地讲恐怖故事，但观感确实不适。
视听语言大减分，配乐时不时都在烘托一种诡异和惊悚的气氛，前半段去掉那个一直重复的bgm应该会好很多。PPT式结尾也好仓促，不过故事再讲下去时长又太长，折中之道了。来自波兰笔友的推荐
全篇最佳男二金发小哥，相比男一拘谨单一的表情和让人乏味的演技，男二明显要好上很多，特别是两人翻云覆雨之后，男二在审讯室发现男一是警察那段，眼神到位，震惊伤心隐忍委屈，泫然欲泣，我见犹怜。
被Erick狠狠蛊到了！换我我也动心！他太可爱了！
最后竟然分不清，自己移情了哪个女巫，心碎一地
