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".
和大部分真人漫改的剧作相比，这一版的追忆篇的影视技巧倒是扎实了很多，很多光影、意象的使用与渐变，都跨越了那些靠大量固定镜头、人物对话维系整体的同质类作品，倒不是说处理方法真的有多高明，只是你高下立判，一眼便知
I was happy, floating, staring at the stars.
恶趣味大爆炸但挠得很爽，前半段的笑话有点太干了，但后半段大爆发就在线了，请继续往这条路努力DC。
浪客剑心电影系列，在我这永远都是满分。感概经典系列完结了。
也太好，超英队伍不就该这么拍？好笑，层次丰富，个人戏份铺得很合适，冈恩确实能力过硬。啾要救小孩那个红红眼眶喔，我心都化了。虽然鼠妹还是有last girl套路在，但哈莉奎恩真是银幕独一份的亮眼女角，从猛禽小队活回来（红婚纱、飞花令、怪异美人鱼，比2016还精彩的哈莉
剑心的真正最终章，人诛篇更像是追忆篇的超长预告。依旧是漫改的天花板，OVA中把漫画里十字伤的误伤改为巴有意为之，却没有交代动机，主要是观众自行脑补，影片里导演则对于十字伤給出了自己更进一步的理解，不仅对应了俩人结合时的摸脸, 而且还是由剑心握着巴的手共同完成，电影里加入了原创的两段打戏，一段是开头秀操作，一段是和冲天总司，其实我是觉得如果把 斋藤和剑心的对决转到这里效果更炸，也算是圆了漫迷的心愿，而且对非漫迷也没影响，另外，饼哥咋不结尾客串下露个脸，就是字面意思，志志雄大人出来露个脸啊
人物动机和设定拍得莫名其妙，为什么致命一击砍在雪代巴身上结果后面那男的也死了？还有巴的假发和美瞳，实在很难让我不去思考这样能干活？都改编得这么历史感了还得强行cosplay。两个主角一个比一个扑克脸，幸好打戏还能看看惹
男性荷尔蒙爆棚外加胡乱煽情的父女爱恨。前半个小时还不错，后来的节奏就不怎么样了。不过最后竟然是拍倒boss（为此多给一个🌟），让两种“动物”战人类一边站。另彩蛋没想到，竟然还不死？暑期娱乐片看的竟有些累了……如果没有harley quinn的疯癫喜剧效果，可能看不太下去，笑点还是有的，乱炸乱飙血这些就是行吧。
这一部血腥程度也大大增加，虽然是前传，而且有非常棒的OVA在前面，但电影选取了影像化的表达，很不错。其实就是看剑心和雪代巴这注定的悲情故事的，村花不太适合雪代巴这个角色啊。
2012.8 → 2014.8 → 2021.8
x特遣队对抗的怪物是只大眼海星，海星的能力是释放无数小的衍生体吸到谁脸上就能操控谁，结局阴沟里千万只老鼠打败了海星，海星遗言说：我也曾幸福过，自由漂浮，仰望星空。美国人竟然夹带私货拍新浪微博（海星）和炸号冤魂（老鼠）的故事。
人心真复杂，没啥改编，全是原著。
劇情容量來說時長可以壓縮一半吧 花了太多力氣在渲染氣氛 但除了最後巴的日記回憶殺 其他地方也沒有打動我⋯⋯這一對拍得比跟薰更好就是了⋯⋯/ 高橋一生好帥啊！！！！！/broken heart of gold終於切題
终点亦是起点。第一部看的时候被震惊的地方，现在看来就是文本缺失最大补足，文戏拖拖拉拉，全靠动作场面拉回平均分。但它依然是我心目中漫改的S级。
系列动作戏最少最不好看但文戏却是最多最好看感情层次最深，很纠结…事很小但意境和氛围做的很不错，至少能还原动画80%了。武戏看京都大火文戏看追忆篇，以此收尾甚是满足
让雪山中的战役变弱了很多
反复出现的雪景确实很美。在这部前传中，佐藤健的表演状态与人诛篇竟如出一辙，一首一尾，即使拍摄是连着拍，但人物的状态和心智肯定早已今非昔比了，竟然用同一套表演状态来表演，当真是没能完全理解角色。不过倒也罢了，毕竟也不是多么需要演技的作品和角色。虽然看前三部的时候，我觉得表演部分大家都很不错，很熨帖地处理了漫画中二的成分。追忆篇剧情放缓了一些，让人走出了先前观看人诛篇的审美疲劳。整体观感 1>3>2>4>5
动乱只会愈演愈烈，往后的京都没有你们这些假志士的立足之地。
海星死前看到的是自己以前在太空中漂浮看到的星星，它觉得很快乐😭
不要再出任何岔子，DCEU真是折腾不起了，希望重启有效
