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".
imdb给四分有点过了，但是这片确实得不了高分
【11.57G】毫无新意吧 反派造型挺带感
庞大的特效 替身 摄影团队 啧啧啧 不愧是迪士尼的老掉牙故事再翻拍 模式自然是遭遇小危机 惊险小幽默 温情小解决 雨林奇幻境 大猫群飞鸟 结尾合家欢
这糟糕特效竟然是迪士尼？邓斯特老公真挺好。
脱胎于迪士尼乐园同名游乐项目，企图复制《加勒比海盗》模式。除了电影票房赚一波外，还给迪士尼乐园打广告、开发周边，拍烂了也很难赔钱。
乐园项目衍生电影，剧情各方面都很平庸，以及一些有意的变化。
演技在线 这警员是怎么做到情绪如此不稳定还头脑在线的！
作为游园项目的资料片，娱乐元素的糅合上还是太古旧了。
科目：<真正的键盘侠> + <如何云办案> 合并授课 || 讲师：Jake Gyllenhaal || 总结：配枪 ||
迪士尼乐园游玩项目推广片，好莱坞流水线工业快消品。无需费脑的轻快合家欢，适合闲时解乏，当中至少可窥见N+1部探险寻宝片的影子。本来情节可看性就不强还硬生生填满120min观影过程极其乏味。
落魄之人拯救落魄之人～ 吉伦哈尔谜一样的双眼
最近巨石的电影是真的喜欢模仿成龙，但又出不来喜剧感，成龙国际巨星的动作，真不是随便能模仿来的！爆米花片，最奇怪是巨石搭配布朗特的男女组，这CP感，怪怪的，说实话我还是更愿意回顾一遍布朗特和阿汤哥的《明日边缘》
5.5，作为一个纯主题公园电影，其实还算是完成任务，生编个冒险故事还能致敬一下赫尔佐格也算不容易了，确实是很平庸，但至少不招人烦，马马虎虎能看
这主旋律不比隔壁那些宏大叙事的垃圾拍的好多了？
对奇幻太不感冒了，强森的角色太脸谱化了，杰西你在油腻的道路上做我越走越远了吗？变成了马特达蒙的油腻版了…小脑斧有点可爱~
由现实和追忆混剪，没有过多的花哨，演员表演也不夸张很适度，属于中规中矩的战争片。（个人认为：渡河后腿部中枪，被狼群追踪……掉入捕猎陷阱重伤后徒手杀狼……这些剧情太过牵强！有些“画蛇添足”）
艾米莉有一段没有演这种花瓶了吧，最后的男装真帅！
为什么都2021了迪士尼还在拍这种俗套无比的探险电影
惊心动魄的空战，艰险的冰原森林。爱情和责任让他克服残缺的身体，重拾信念，再次成为飞行员消灭纳粹。
几乎没有任何的创新，一切都在安全范围内，我看到了太多同类优秀电影，甚至游戏的影子。迪斯尼就是想躺着把钱赚了，其实也无可厚非，因为影迷总是会有断层，20年前的加勒比海盗和国家宝藏，30年前的夺宝奇兵，还有神秘海域，那还不是如今的每个年轻人都体验过的经典。站在经典的肩膀上收割一堆年轻人好感，也没什么不好，是吧？虽然吐了那么多嘈，整个观影过程还是蛮开心的，演员之间的化学反应也相当到位，非常适合带小朋友周末观影！
