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".
看完电影出来，发现俄罗斯已经把乌克兰揍趴下了，瞬间有种不真实的感觉，这个世界真梦幻
整体观感挺好的，这本来就是历史改编，大结局改不了，与爱国绑架无关，这是部优秀的战争片！
进入水门桥正题前太无聊，重复的场面➕抒情，入不了戏。水门桥正题开始斗智斗勇很紧张刺激。几段牺牲都没有打动我，但朱亚文角色的牺牲让我动容了。
岁月仍未安好，吾辈当自强。
三个小时的叙事时间浓缩了那场惨烈的战役，在接近真实地基础上塑造典型人物，通过强大的细节展现出中国志愿军的英勇，真实的历史比电影更加惨壮，珍惜当下就是在很好的告慰逝者！
每个重要角色死亡之际的华彩描绘，一位又一位英雄的英勇就义，总有一幕能集中你内心柔软的地方，让你破防。而七连唯一生还的战士的背影，同样令人心疼。
加一星为情怀。
2022年第一部过审的电影。虽然有预期，但还是感动落泪了。很多画面很有徐老怪特有的魔幻感，只是故事细节上偶尔会缺逻辑。
有进步，对于战术的拍摄又有点太武侠了。希望战争片多听军迷的声音和意见。目前没有突出指导员的作用。
本来以为伍千里临死前会说些什么，结果啥都没说，一般国产片肯定要说点什么慷慨激昂的遗言对吧？但是这啥都没说，更加让人潸然泪下！你倒是说点啥啊！别这么静静地看着你弟弟呀！你弟弟等着你说话呀！呜哇啊啊啊啊啊！
给每一个英雄致敬！必须五颗星！中国军人，真不容易！今天的幸福生活，都是他们用血肉换来的。一个战役，在历史书上只有简单一笔，但是有多少人命啊，青山处处埋忠骨
第一部7.8开头7.4结尾，第二部7.2开头7.2结尾，学校老师下的盗版看的不亦乐乎，虽然没有第一部的高潮，结尾吴京还是有些个人英雄主义。但是泪点爆炸，第九连全军覆没真的泪炸了！第一部泪炸的片！虽然没有留出眼眶但持续了好久。就是这开头还是一样草率，壁纸也是，尤其是人走在冰湖上那段好垃圾哦，虽说八百yyds但是他没有一个好的结局。
徐克导演的 技术上 场面上还是有保证 但是逻辑和故事 差了一大截 这种电影不能只看突突突和假抒情吧 当然国外主流英雄电影 确实也是男主不死的设定 只是我们男主不死的设定背后是精神不死的设定 还要高一个等级
相比第一部剧情更加紧凑、清晰，演员们都演的很好。
比第一部好看，节奏明快，有镜头设计，有宏大叙事，也有泪点，似曾相识的规格感。
打戏太多了，全都是战争场面，而且感觉每个人的死都是为了死而去死，有点缺乏文戏，伍万里的成长体现的不是太充分
第一部就被渲染的很多情景震撼，并且第二部以作战行动为主，未再说明为什么这一战非打不可，因此看第二部时，说实话并没有多么因那些宏大壮丽的流血牺牲片段热血沸腾，多么有自豪骄傲扬眉吐气之感，而是本能地感到沮丧，甚至凄凉和悲哀。在任何宏大叙事前，个人都是渺小的，尽管每个人都是有自己故事线的个体，无论是作战的哪一方，却仍然都逃不开成为“不惜一切代价”的那个代价。再联想到一些时事，忍不住“不正确”地想：真的有什么战争是必须要进行且避无可避的吗。
前面一小截战术布置很清楚，接下来却出现了多个不能原谅的错误。
场面一如既往的激烈、爱国氛围浓重，抗美援朝实属不易～剧情还可以在加强一下
打戏太多了，全都是战争场面，而且感觉每个人的死都是为了死而去死，有点缺乏文戏，伍万里的成长体现的不是太充分
