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".
就在2019年12月15日我离开武汉返程之后 武汉惊现0号病人 然后就是漫长的封锁 很抱歉没能和家乡一起共患难 但在接下来的数月里 我的心无时无刻不牵挂着家乡和亲人 搜集一箱口罩寄回家后 就是焦虑的等待和深深的无力 还好有志愿者有医护人员有热心市民坚守在一线 不然武汉挺不过去 虽然这部片过于煽情减弱苦难 但是我依然视它为对你们这些留名或未留名的勇士的赞歌礼颂 向志愿加班的老爸 向坚守一线的护士表妹 向帮助民众有序隔离的表哥 致敬
演员都挺好，剧情没什么说的，电影始终是电影不是现实
徐帆咋演完《唐山大地震》说啥都是一股子唐山味……。
用温情不煽情的方式，带我们重温疫情最初那段日子里的小人物生活，真的挺好的。我被实习小护士的遗照猛击，眼泪顿时止不住了。
而且作为抗疫电影，实在是不严谨，黄渤作为志愿者，口罩竟然时戴时不戴，还这么乐呵。当年的志愿者很多是被感染了的，朋友因为身边志愿者确诊，爸妈直接就让她在家隔离不要出去了。电影里面都没有展示出来。
6.2分 是一部以疫情为背景的暖心向电影，不是部分影迷想要的那种深刻的、纪录片式的疫情电影。不要对我们根本拍不出来的电影有期待。｜从暖心向电影而言，相比一些电影已经算是没有特别明显的大尬点了，但小尬点和令人不舒服的点还是有。｜最喜欢奶奶。贾玲面对朱一龙的各种小娇羞，因为她真的喜欢朱一龙而显得格外真实，哈哈哈哈哈。朱一龙真是适合演白月光啊。那么温柔又有情调的男人只有梦里才有，只有他才配演。他演的叶老师让人感觉很舒服，似乎世界上真的存在叶老师这个人。（只不过后面影片对叶老师捐献器官的剧情的表达方式处理的不好，这是导演的问题，演员已经没有戏份了。）黄渤不容易，如果不是他演，这部分的戏可能会更难看。徐帆和高亚麟这么好的演员实在是被灾难般的剧情给浪费了。王骁，可惜这部戏没有给他表演空间。｜别的不说了。
以《撞車》的叙事形式，用不同的点撑起武汉抗疫期间的一个面。贾玲的吸睛指数最高，周冬雨以最少的戏份撑起最大的看点，吴彦姝以83岁高龄和73岁许绍雄谈了一场黄昏恋。虽说主旋律满满，但他们的事迹值得纪念。6.6
疫情讲的不明不白，情感演的不伦不类。失败的电影。
这几个星，给演员们。但是故事讲述，其实没有多好。
以小爱汇聚成大爱，致敬每一个在疫情期间依旧坚守岗位的普通人。
“扑通花版”是片子的最大debuff，搞得就像春晚小品剧场版plus，显得每个人都在端着演。汉腔版就不同了，码头文化就该有码头文化的样子。
两星半吧 有点刻意 但是父母去看会感动到稀里哗啦的作品
徐帆老师和高亚麟老师在雨中拥抱哭泣……我在电影院有点尴尬……啊……对不起，我错了
连行活儿的标准都没达到，影帝影后演起戏来都显得很轻浮，本应是含着深情的台词被随意念起。没有生活体验，没有细心钻研，只能利用夸张的方式掩盖自己无法共情的真相。更像一群人完成了一个任务，至于好坏并不重要。
不错，四个故事相互交织，冲击点是这边还说着带豆皮，一转身就拿到了祭拜的照片，收不到叶老师的回信，已经感觉到了他是没了，疫情啊，让本来没时间的人变得更少时间。
就是疫情期间平凡人的平凡故事。20211231 @德信影城5号厅 7排10座
剧情太碎了，感觉就跟为了完成任务似的，这么好的题材就这么敷衍了事
1、原来是个爱情片（误），老年组甜死我了！中国电影市场应该考虑正经拍个老年爱情故事。2、人一胖还真是可爱的要命，贾玲和高亚麟穿上连体衣（防护服）的时候原谅我笑得很开心，好像卡通人物。3、黄渤这条线最难看，集合了所有个人英雄主义的表征，自我意识爆棚，开篇就说教，表演型人格爆棚，怕老婆和老婆不理解捆绑，以及最后不忘给人当爹。4、整体其实挺好的，特别是看到摄影设备和视听技术的进步，不过仅有几帧漂亮的画面那么和新闻图片似乎也无甚区别？问题还是老问题，情绪太直给，给的太早并且给的太满，配乐、说教、慢镜头，几套组合拳下来我都没办法自己去产生和体会本该有的情绪了。
破三亿了，说实话首日就是靠黄渤，贾玲撑，周冬雨撑的三亿，剧情根本很脑残，就是一个打着疫情消费感情的烂片
虽然做好了观看主旋律电影的准备，但还是有强烈不适感。诚然抗疫中有奉献的人，有好运的人，但这部剧里的角色，比例是不是太大了？虽然我不是武汉人，但所在的城市也经历过封城，也在网上关注过很多普通人的发声，他们的事业被毁没有徐凡的救助金，他们的家人被困吃饭都是问题。看着电影里堆砌幸福感的慢镜头，生理性厌恶
