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".
中国人向来是喜欢大团圆结局的，同时相信努力奋斗牺牲就一定会有个好结果，但当这种深镌于民族基因的期待被现实打破，现实的残酷性和电影的艺术性就再上了一个档次。
抗美援朝的战争，在我们这一代终于有了印记。直观呈现战争的残酷，是历史被铭记的好方式之一。《长津湖》战事难打，惨烈，都表现出来了；以为到了徐克主导会强调作战之奇，不过除了一些镜头调度比较典型之外，故事依然延续了狂轰滥炸的节奏。好处固然是直面战争的残酷，坏处是观感上很快就麻木了。不过，这次总体上突出了仗为何难打，有一种窒息感；文戏也干脆许多。印象最深一个镜头，是伍千里一根烟插在雪上，悲怆之情一下子出来了。最后，希望战争题材从此之后可以更精细化。这么多年，民族的伤痛我们已然铭记，是时候站在人类的角度去反思战争了，就像被伍万里按下补刀的那把枪一样。
忽然感觉我的荒废岁月对不起革命先烈用血肉铺就的和平时光。
而是懂得了面对战争
节奏比第一部要好太多了 没有一点冷场，从头打到尾 徐克风格体现淋漓尽致，太压抑了，比第一部压抑太多 真的不适合过年看，最后的第七穿插连实到一人真的是个中国人都要破防，给伟大的志愿军战士致敬
因为当年的那些付出，才有今天的幸福生活，可是他们望着故乡的方向，却再也回不来了。
整体剧情很连贯，视听效果有所提高，也许是出于各种原因，国外演员选择太仓促，那些军官们演技实在是三流水平……
纵观全片，好像只有朱亚文有一点战争之外的故事。如果其他人也可以表现一点他们身为“人”的故事，应该能让人物更立体一点。
不晓得是我过于吹毛求疵还是确有其事，匮乏的战争场面与平庸的剧作让我很难不倍速...
陪妈妈看完了，母女俩好久没一起认真看电影咯，整体感觉比第一部好看些，至少内心os 不是你们别打了。剧情推进还是宏观叙事、场面调度、人物刻画等等都好多了，徐老怪还是厉害的，甚至有几场戏有武侠动作片内味了，战争群像戏不好拍，道阻且长，但是每一次还是能精准切中我的泪点
感动来自于 对 个人 集体 国家 民族 的触碰和整理
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。
比第一部叙事要好，可还是乱轰乱炸，场面血腥，让俺一度脸盲。另外，我妈在旁边看的泪流满面，我爸呼呼大睡
音乐转场太生硬了，故事线也不是很流畅，有些地方略有拖沓，血腥。向志愿军致敬。感谢自己生活中和平中国。
视觉效果很炸裂，炸炸炸，轰轰轰，美军的空投和火烧真的让人窒息，让我们只有无力还击，从一开始的夺取炮弹到攻陷机场到二炸水门桥，剧情紧凑，真是七连穿插队生命在炸桥，最后只剩一人，带我爸一起去的，他觉得实景太少了，特效太多了，总体还行。
和第一部一样，还是以军人的牺牲来展现战争的残酷，这种处理方式实在低级。
热血男儿离故乡，冰天雪地端步枪。以弱胜强炸大桥，逼走美军保家乡。
各国军人，应该是最能懂彼此的一群人，他们都是爹生娘养的，有亲人朋友，有挂念，不想死。但是因为出生地不同，立场不同，所以必须在战场上兵戎相见。
如果不较真思考……boomboomboom效果蛮好的
相比第一部这部显得更独立简单，看完之后总感觉少点什么，有些画面过于血腥并不适合低龄儿童。
