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".
全程高能好吧，美国大使馆伙同希腊国内某势力暗杀政要，左右政局，而不惜牺牲本国公民，这不就是大现实嘛，底层的人民需要真相需要反抗，可恶的帝国主义
我挺喜欢这类片子，但是这个片子看的着急。
除结尾部分的高楼跳车非常夸张以外，其余地方都非常写实，主角完美展现出一个局外人陷入危险情况中的处境，各种求助方法，情绪的迸发，思维的缜密，都很真实很符合逻辑，确实很能调动观众情绪继续看下去。
叙事上的克制非常难得，点到即止让它成为了今年难得的一部佳作，也提高了观众欣赏的门槛，毕竟，多少还是需要了解一下希腊这些年的社会背景更好。
变幻莫测的结局 信条的男主角主演 希腊街景令人垂涎 beckett.2021.1080p.web.h264-naisu #小两口的午后影院
男主后半段简直开挂了……本以为能多看到点坎妹，没想到就那么点……
真的有够boring的，110分钟不知道讲了个啥，完全垮掉。除了DJW在希腊惊慌失措的样子有点我在法国巴黎的即视感，其他就毫无沉浸感可言，丝毫没有扣人心弦的地方。
本来冲着坎妹看的，结果戏份很少
这拍的是个啥啊，看短评才知道配乐是坂本龙一，怎么，教授也只是个没有灵魂的荷里活打工人罢了！男主全程内心戏可能像佟湘玉一样，我的命好苦，我就不应该来，我不来我的娘子就不会死。
如果你想让观众莫名其妙 选这个关系户来尬演就对了
误入真是漩涡有点扯 多大点事就往死里追 最后还把人家红发叔叔杀了 什么玩意
这电影真的太一般了，而且华盛顿一个黑人在一群希腊人里能躲到哪里去呢
大儿子全程一脸懵b，苦兮兮中夹杂着笨拙打斗，数次主角光环的死里逃生，纪录片式的镜头语言没有沉浸只有沉闷。
最后小黑连克美国大使馆官员和希腊警察，主角光环过于强大，反倒让人不信服
看名字以为是恐怖片，其实类似《飓风营救》那种吧
人离乡贱，莫名被追杀、语言不通、求救无门、偏僻小村没点王法，连作为自己唯一依靠的大使馆都敷衍了事不说，得知真相后出于政治利益还要控制他，够恐怖，够噩梦。看到男主没理大使的又一次虚伪招安，跑去救出了小男孩，好棒啊
Washington 大公子继信条后片子， 导演意大利人在欧洲早已打出名气ヾ(@^▽^@)ノ 这次是他第一个英语作品。 片子还是套路一追二反杀的节奏╮(￣▽￣"")╭ 女一坎妹太早炮灰而且对剧情没啥贡献(╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻ 华盛顿开始潜逃二十分钟蛮搞笑的。。。。撇开情节不说。。。。。一连换了两次换装从蓝色衬衫、红运动装到黄色格子外套。。。。。行云流水。。。我的注意力偏了ε=ε=ε=ε=ε=ε=┌(;￣◇￣)┘ 最后幻觉中的母子才是谜题答案。。。。怎么说呢……二星情节，一星华盛顿情节吧o(︶︿︶)o 无聊时可以看看。
我觉得也就一般吧，印象最深的只有两个地方，一个是最后从好几层楼上面跳下来，跳到飞驰的车上，实在比较扯。 另一个就是抢劫摩托车未遂，被希腊娘们一脚踹开 哈哈
挺……无聊的，前几十分钟的重点我觉得应该是个道路交通安全提醒：请勿疲劳驾驶+系好安全带，男主能逃这么久只能说种族和性别加成以及希腊没有天网系统（？）
垃圾片，还将近两个小时
