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".
基本满足预期，甩尾灯正联几条街，但观感也确实就比复联2强一点点吧，对闪电侠和钢骨的开发是有惊喜的，剧情顺了，战斗更像集体了，深度和设计其实还是老样子吧，最喜欢结尾那段梦魇，可惜不会有后续，之前宣传的那些新人物太酱油
里面海王救人后潇洒离去的画面配上bgm实在是太帅了！
2、各人各尽其职，分工明确，团结合作
伶人泛舟遙啊遙，遙過軍閥割據時，遙到蔣公掌權年代後，為溫飽，為屋頂，彷似在這個地方生命都只輪迴到兩件事上徘徊，再問不到究竟，只有苦，沒有悲。真正的悲劇是在自覺，意識下看到命運和絕望。又為何在這地方，大歷史下的伶人藝術生命都只求生存，而沒有藝術追求，一門手藝任由掌權者擺佈。這場百人大戲佈局了追求的正常生活仍在遠方，它還沒有向人們招手。新又新，只是重複又重複的命運，確實看著有種似層相識的感覺，也不是第一次看過類似的故事，比如我就想到張藝謀拍的《活著》，但邱炯炯甚至比張藝謀更接近余華原著表達方式，相似得要問，為何還要老調重彈（那英文戲名，new old play)，是大歷史下的小人物們故事總是相近，還是有重說一段老話的必要。《椒麻堂會》重要，是2018年後的中國電影環境裡難得地出現了一部具地方色彩和作家主義作品。
在Laemmle看的 川剧魔幻版霸王别姬...
开头还有导演的介绍。原来版本开场亚马逊女战士的战争场面挺一般的，结果这里剪剪好看多了
dc粉的话应该会更喜欢 作为非dc粉以及没看过几部其他电影的 可以给好评 但背景和情怀方面就略显不够了
天启再临，我从今着手备战，至死方休，我将隐姓名，避尘世，留忠骨，我将不坐金銮，不争荣辱，我将鞠躬尽瘁，生死于斯。我是大都会的旗帜，哥谭市的图腾。我是天堂的圣女，中央城的守护者，亚特兰蒂斯不朽的君王。我将生命与荣耀归于灯团，此戒永恒，万代皆燃。我们不是复仇者，而是正义军团。
其实四年前两小时版基本要素都聚齐了。
这四个小时的电影，我硬生生在一个星期的时限快到了才看完……全篇慢镜头太多了，多到让人有些昏昏欲睡，闪电侠的镜头的确需要一些慢镜头来表达人物，但也太多了。和朋友看的过程中，他完全看不懂，因为几个人物他压根认不识，更别提人物背景故事了，最后那段末日剧情粉丝看着还不错，但作为新人的第一部dc电影的话，真心相当不友好……
前有复联珠玉在前，威登版先入为主，施耐德拍这片子实在难，要从一堆威登没用过的不咋样的素材里面掏好货，再补拍，再润色，超越是不可能超越的，能把故事说圆了并且说得有自己的风格，就算及格了，这片子勉强有做到。
离合悲欢忘川渡
震撼、回味、经典，如此形容扎导的作品一点都不过分，四个多小时看似长得咋舌，实际看下去觉得根本不够看。恢宏的悲歌，多线索的描绘，生与死成和败都不再是三言两语能够解释清楚的事情。每一位英雄都有自己的抱负和顾虑，不是简简单单三言两语就开打的无脑剧情，看完才感觉上映版是如此地粗糙潦草。
其实一开始打开豆瓣看到这个9.0分我是真的有点不相信的，怎么可能院线版才6.4分，扎导仅仅凭借在在故事叙述上增加两小时就真的可以让分数实现如此大的跨度。但是看完我是真的打脸，无论是人物塑造，故事情节还是打斗场面都是直接超出了我对9.0的展望。我甚至都无法想象如果当年院线版放的就是扎导版会是怎样的结果，扎导真的是干得漂亮。
华纳不勇敢，扎司令勇敢。我想不管多少溢美之词来形容扎克施耐德版正义联盟与它背后的这场伟大的导剪运动相比都会显得苍白无力。
看原版就已经能感受到钢骨等人大概的背景，这个版本无非就是把几个配角的背景说细了而已。问题是你这个说细了对没有使人物更出彩。 另外就算是四小时的版本我也只能感觉到蝙蝠侠英雄迟暮。 彩蛋是半个小时的下集预告吧，感觉主线终于有丶丶起伏，还是蛮期待下一季的
A theater coming out of nowhere, 雾气和鬼城，自成一派的阴森美学风格，但是总觉得后半段越来越流水账，主角也逐渐沦为背景板，有点没劲 @ Anthology
绝对五星，名副其实的华语年度最佳！荒诞的艺术，光怪陆离的社会变迁，《霸王别姬》的隔空对唱，模糊舞台和荧幕的扑面而来的丁达尔效应，极具个人色彩和地方特色的空灵的戏梦版的表达，文革时期向右野蛮生长的水泥砖墙，屎里找蛆的桥段。细节和记忆点很多，非常大胆，导演也极具野心。在釜山电影节看的，179分钟，中途走了几个韩国人，亮灯后也有几个韩国人昏睡在座位上，只有我和个位数的同胞在诺大的影厅里鼓掌到人潮散去
4个小时还是太长了。超人小哥哥太帅了啊。。。
历史的变幻复写。将戏剧埋进电影的血管里，让教科书上的史实伸展出三头六臂，成为新的客观性，“你在北京找到真理了吗？”但好像《痴》亦是如此（太久之前看的，也许会有差错），所以尽管我极其钟意导演的个人风格，但是在“自我重复”这一项上可能要标个问号。
