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".
1.伴着舞蹈无处不在的布鲁斯音乐还行。
发现本剧中的每一个角色我都不认识了，尤其是奥特布恩太太，居然成了一名黑人舞台歌手。应该说演员们的演技都在线，布景和摄影也在线，只是我，慢慢的失落。
其实相对来说还是挺喜欢这个版本的风格，优秀的作品需要不同时代的技术和理解将它传承
在保留原著核心诡计的同时，尽可能做了一些适合现代观影需求的改编，总体上来说还是值得一看
一个警察回老家碰上老丈人被黑社会勒索，拼命抓捕黑社会的故事。剧作整体而言像是黑社会版《破冰行动》，实在是像电视剧，拍摄也很电视剧，黑社会的手段都是二十年前的手段，毫无新意，平淡无奇。只是谢苗的警察扮相令人眼前一亮，动作戏片段也畅快淋漓。
演员导演都尽力了，但，这部剧本不行，猜到结局了，没有东方列车最后解密的那种震撼
京腔警察闹东北，胜在节奏明快，动作设计有点追求，挑战狭迫空间，突出痛感，打戏医院一场最佳，可惜故事没啥意思，人物也潦草，反派人设看得出想搞点反差，但没成功。魏君子专心搞网大这块应该挺有钱途。
【游轮杀人案】故事继续聚焦在上流社会的秘事，大侦探波洛在埃及度假期间， 卷入到了一场危险的三角关系之中，他在察觉到这趟旅程中不寻常的味道之后，登上了那条驶往阴谋和死亡的船。
导演这一脸自信的样子，让人生生想吐，演什么角色都讨厌他
马景涛一样一惊一乍的侦探，真是有点受不了。肯尼思的这一系列改编，真让人败好感，总觉得他是个特自恋的人。还好jodie comer没接这个破戏。
但是整个滤镜还是很美的，三角恋演员跟布克的选角异常合适。
我愿称Kenneth Branagh为闭塞型filmmaker，真是永远在自己的世界里创作啊，叙事、台词、运镜、剪辑，导演的个人喜好一览无余。比上次的《东方快车谋杀案》稍好些，但不管布景摄影还是妆造都充斥着一股廉价感，就更不用说咱们朵和锤比着谁演技更烂，后半部分他俩基本下线后整部电影表演的质感都提升了不少。肯爹当演员比他当导演好太多了！
除恶务尽，职责所在，看完也想当一名光荣的人民警察。个人英雄主义，过瘾啊！希望这个系列继续出下去。
比东方快车好了一咪咪，但仍然不值得一个及格分。kb略略收敛，增加了小老头味，少了点搏斗追逐，但推理部分依然莫名其妙烂的可以。我就不懂少了simon的大声质问，jacky怎么能领会精神，就凭那一声赶紧的？jacky是全程持枪蹲在窗后？然后最后证据的部分，就那个粉红色能证明毛线？能证明simon手上有火药痕迹吗？？依然自作聪明的修改各种没必要的小细节，颜料，同性恋，胡子的来历？这都什么玩意儿。还有调查布克的未婚妻为人？波罗是干这事的？？
评论说什么埃及风景很美，大哥没事吧扣图这么拉垮。其实是个很感人爱情故事。人为了爱情什么事情都做得出来。
说实话我本身对这部片预期没有那么高，然后这部片也并没有让我失望。本本分分地拍出了这个故事，然后加入了一些还挺精巧的布置与镜头，的确是值得推荐的。
艾米汉莫接角色之前还是认真看看剧本吧，西蒙这个角色从一开始就没有被认真对待（就是为了衬托盖尔加朵而存在的）。好好爱惜羽毛，记得你是Oliver。
新版尼罗河惨案本身就是一个惨案，导演兼主演的方式就注定了这是一部很偏个人向的电影。先给波洛立了个人设，参加一战把脸炸伤了还失去了自己的爱情，才用胡子掩盖自己。这一下就不像波洛了，感觉很莎翁。然后主线故事里，先是尺度极大的酒吧舞会，声色犬马直追《盖茨比》；情色小说家奥特本还成了黑人歌手，最后还要和波洛有点情感故事；阿德勒一家直接换成上一步的纨绔子弟，还为了奥特本夫人成为了替死者；范斯凯勒小姐直接玩起了LGTB那套。实在太政治正确了，但却一点不像30年代的故事。20220423
我没看过阿加莎克里斯蒂之前的小说跟拍摄的版本，但是！从一开始我就觉得这男的是为了钱跟她结婚的！但是我没想到，原来他真的对杰奎琳是真爱？反正女人啊不要看他帅就跟他结婚啊！？
前面背景交代略长，超过1小时吧。倒是埃及风光挺好
