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".
惊声尖叫本身就是对恐怖片解构自嘲的系列，第五集直接在解构的基础上再解构，对恐怖片类型本身那些套路开玩笑。感触于好莱坞这些类型演变到如此程度，同样类型创新的瓶颈也快摸到了。我们在类型创作上起码落后20年，当然发展潜力同样也是巨大的
没有看过前几部，可是这部前半还不错，后面太乱来了，质感一般，最后的结局还行
#2.0# 基本上复刻了第一部，致敬了很多惊悚片，老人们回归当然开心，但是无法接受Dewey这样的退场方式，距离第一部已经26年了。FOR WES.
没看过之前几部的不建议看。老粉必看，毕竟又是一个11年了。老人都出来了是加分项。和黑客帝国4一样借角色之口调侃自身是最近潮流吗？
已经没有任何新意，开始炒故事本身了，老梗来回来去的，抛开老梗，这片子完全一无是处了。加上老梗也没太多的深入和延展。甚至连接的都很尴尬。动作场面一如既往的为了推动剧情而设计的跟傻逼一样。曾经的好莱坞现在看来已经没落的不成样子了。
对比隔壁《德锯》，《惊声尖叫》的重启显然诚意满满
这么多年了，主演们都老了，怎么比利还是这么帅！
垃圾电影，
这个系列都二十年了 怎么还和第一部差不多 虽然可能是特地为了自嘲 但恐怖片能让我觉得越看越生气的 也是没谁了。
惊喜之作！没想到一部时隔多年的恐怖片续集不仅没有狗尾续貂并且还带来了新的惊喜，太意外了。影片不止是回顾了整个系列致敬了第一部那么简单，其中还存在了大量的迷影梗，关于故事的自圆其说也有了一个好的交待。虽说凶手是谁有点明显，不难猜出，但这个行凶的理由我给满分，千万千万别随意的毁掉一部经典！
所以这篇就给了三星
开头那段就是在讽刺那些看不起jump scare血浆片，更喜欢隐喻氛围恐怖片的新生代影迷。Scream系列一直都是很self-aware的恐怖片，前四部经常用迷影梗自嘲，这部更加夸张，活脱脱的喜剧片了，不是Reboot，也不是Sequal，而是Requel。为什么评分这么低啊？有笑点、有迷影、有自嘲、有血腥，What more do you want？
3.5 彩蛋无限多但本人观影品味受到狠狠嘲讽
这不科学啊～～
sidney和gale、dewey全部回归，特别是sidney战力爆棚，充满着套路和反套路，凶手仍然是两个人。可以说是第一部的致敬。
整个系列都有的也是最大的槽点，反派明明都很傻逼却总能杀了很多人，简直在侮辱警察和观众的智商，真的是只能不带脑子看的
时隔十年之后的续集，尝试解构血浆杀手型恐怖片，打破套路，但还是没能打破最大的套路：主角不对凶手补刀。什么时候这个问题解决了，才能真正解构同类影片的套路问题。
打四分是给原cast主演们和制作团队的鼓励！第五了还能这么用心去做很不错了，虽然剧情当然有bug，还有凶手真的很搞笑，结尾得瑟的时候我真无语了，摆脱朋友，在第一幕开始我就已经猜出是你了xs第二位在中间也已经猜出来，全部match，算老粉了吗
真的只能当娱乐片看看，逻辑设定什么的太糙了
老醋胜新酒，补枪不含糊。酱油警哥终幕扑街，编剧黔驴影迷背锅。
