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".
“当人们知道自己时日不多的时候，可以选择克隆自己，这样你爱的人们就不用遭受失去你的痛苦了。”复制体是本体生命的延续吗？不尽然。有时候，它的存在也时刻提醒着在世的人本体死亡的事实，让人难以释怀。
啥啊 啥啊 这本体活该gg 太容易被骗了吧 姐
不是开放结局，就是克隆身活下来了，但也是痛苦地活着。这创意可以拍出更加好看的影片，浪费了。
导演聪明的设置了谁活下来都说的通的结局。但是无论谁活下来都要面对糟糕的生活。
木讷如行尸走肉的表情，是生活本身让女主失去自我？还是荒谬绝伦的替身制度已经麻痹了周遭的一切？我觉得结局无论本体还是替身，哪个活下来已经变得无足轻重了。
最后的结局很有意思，本体伪装成复制体作为本体活下去。。。
1499【谷阿莫】她創造了複製人，政府卻說兩個只能活一個，請生死決鬥2022《雙重軀體》#界里剧好看##花式刷片挑战# #亲情电影的治愈力#
荒诞中带着合理的黑色幽默。女权主义看前半段的时候应该不能忍，吐血住院和命不久矣都不能引起男朋友的半点关心，真他妈是“一个人吃饭睡觉到处走走停停”。而且她妈也对这个女儿也是似有若无，克隆人抢了自己的男人，还赢得自个老母亲的爱，最后还得支付克隆人的制造费用。这就简直太踏妈过分了，体制背后的无情无爱无人性刻画的淋漓尽致

问为什么复制体要办成本体后面还哭了的 那是因为活下来的本来就是本体 但她却要办成复制体 因为家人爱的接受的是复制体....
其实活下来的是谁并无所谓了，她还是她，她也已经变成她了。
伪纪录片形式的恐怖片，由五个故事组成，由一个简单的框架串联。第一个硫酸鼠人故事有些猎奇；第二个漆黑灵堂守夜人有点感觉； 第三个人T机械恶魔实验真的很变态，有豚鼠系列的味道， 第一视角瞬间变成CSGO体验；第四个白人主义者想搞生物爆炸袭击；第五个即框架本身主线。为了仿真，把画面调的模糊浑浊，前面的还好，后面两个故事直接把人晃晕。整体融合暴力血腥cult重口，满满的B级片恶趣味，简直就是血浆爱好者的盛宴，喜欢清新灵异气氛的恐怖片爱好者一定要绕道，一定。
跟《天鹅挽歌》一样的高概念，探讨方面比天鹅走得更向前一步。不错的！
守灵的那部有亮点，有些氛围部分做的挺好。其实蛮期待提莫导演的美版釜山行，在这部里拍了部b级金属改造人，但还是比不上该系列第二部里那个邪恶教团学校集体自鲨的惊艳程度，
每个人都冷冰冰，好像没有感情的机器，却也更凸显故事的荒诞，观影过程老让我想起《龙虾》。女主演技在线。
本来以为是励志片，原来是嘲讽中年人生的虚伪和丧…
Amy×小粉，期待已久，短小好看。电影色调冷淡，树形有《杨之后》的感觉，压抑感很真切，最后结局也还挺不错的。
别解读了，结果根本没有意义，谁是胜利者都没有意义，小心着相。
自己爱人、亲人比较起来更喜欢克隆人而不是本人
整个剧情都相当之荒诞，跳跃！喝那瓶水真的很傻缺！
