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".
真的过于温吞了，弄得搞不清两个女孩之间的感情张力。杉野遥亮真的是根正苗红的帅气
故事可以 拍的一般 太压抑 且太长了 很多没必要的桥段完全可以砍掉 然后整部片子就看得特别憋屈 乔治吧 坚守真相 但是怎么看都觉得是个懦弱的男孩子 给的戏份也不多 内心挣扎也很emm令人不适 芭芭拉我就更不能理解 乔治的爹说的那段话很有威慑力吗？那么容易就退出了？前面的坚守成了笑话？最后还面对媒体巴拉巴拉说了那些话 打不打脸啊？政府捂嘴威胁不让说真话 她又何尝不是一个帮凶 这个片子算是完美解释了啥叫“完美受害人” 确实是 太恶心了 巧的是前不久看了卡廷惨案 有相似之处 但是这部相比卡廷惨案就差太多了 都是在暴政下牺牲 这部连点儿希望都看不到 就算是要表现现实的无奈 但是也没必要用160分钟去讲一个如此emm词穷了 反正就不喜欢
挺有意思的，科幻喜剧小品，稍显冗长，再短点就更好了。如果你愿意，可以不必去思考科技与人工智能对未来社会及人类的干预，轻松简单看看电影也不错
怎么说呢，结构不太好，不像是一个整体，但女主的演技真的很好很好，那种后知后觉的模糊的情愫演得太好了，明明差一点，再差一点就能说出来了，但是就是差点什么重要的东西，导演需要再编织得欲一点，然后关于突然搬去找男友的那里再加点说服力。看到最后，我差点以为是在讲友情。对了，打动我的还有餐厅的老头，他说，放你喜欢的歌吧。
导演觉得很有趣，结果观众觉得冗长又无聊。机器人的大白牙真的很恶心。
这两句话其实就足够了。
平常普通，重要之人的离去伴随着接二连三熟悉事物的悄然崩塌的惯常路数

一部有关人工智能的荒诞室内剧。因为反对人类的人工智能尤尼克斯构成威胁，居家人工智能将几家人关到防护严密的屋内。虽然在居家机器人的帮助下，逃出了时冷时热的屋子，但遭到尤尼克斯的围堵，在千钧一发之际，尤尼克斯首领的一个失误，导致无人机将所有的尤尼克斯全部清除，人类得以幸存。
给人一种精神上的压抑与摧残。
文本是真不错啊，细节满满，张力十足。但作为电影观感是真闹心啊，真长啊，长啊，长！
最近的网飞都上的什么呀，好失望，为啥最近我看到的剧都如此空洞，那些sex镜头何必呢，莫名其妙，边拖进度条边刷完的。房间如此高的色彩饱和度，看得眼睛不舒服，女佣人算是最佳女配，最近就想看喜剧的我，看得我一点都笑不出来，完全不理解法国人的幽默到底是什么？
想象力很好，好到片尾字幕都想一直看完，还是熟悉的配方，始终保持着独特的美学风格，又一个怪诞寓言，实话实说，AI主题没毛病，就是故事性差一些。
我们就称之为串烧MV吧！没什么内容，情绪也不够，音乐也不太舒服，画面也只是糖水片。电影拍的还没素人vlog好看，单单是片头动画差点就被劝退。
结局确实漏洞很大。人类自己设计的AI，确总是担心安全问题，多此一举。
怎么说其实算喜剧 但有点笑不出来 更多的是看的途中反思与思考 人工智能未来会不会也这样 有好的爱人类的 也会出现像控制动物一样控制人类的 其实这电影表达很多 机器人-人-动物 而且又富有很有脑洞的高科技元素 细节很多 还是蛮喜欢的
本片講述在1983年波蘭一名19歲的高中生無故被波蘭共軍毆打致死，軍方為隱瞞骯髒罪行操縱媒體法院等機構對真相進行強壓與篡改的醜惡事件！本片的視聽方面較為單一，固定鏡頭平穩與手持鏡頭帶來的真實感進行對比，達到了調動觀眾情緒與體驗。劇本上野心不小，所折射的內容包括該背景下的言論自由.腐敗.共產專制等一系列敏感政治題材，但敘事上略顯拖沓，衝突發生直至男孩被打死大概佔全片1/8，後片全部用於描繪監聽.偽造.軟硬兼施，細節滿滿的同时略顯枯燥，全片是非常平靜又真實的描述底層人在權力遊戲下的無力感。對於我的感受：驚悚恐懼刺眼，甚至中途幾次我都不想看下去，似乎在照鏡子，結合現在一些實事，無力感湧上心頭非常難受。But「the truth is important！」該片存在的藝術價值較高！就寫到這裡吧！
Ça te fait mal quand tu marches?
连看了三部历史题材的反思片，好沉重。愿一切真相不会被掩埋。时长再短一些就好了。#GöteborgFF
拍的很好...没有特别的愤怒，很平静，很平静的接受了客观存在的不公
