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".
不寒而栗，一群道貌岸然的“优质人”在90分钟内制定出清晰的犹太人种族屠杀计划，人性的邪恶在他们心中泛滥成灾，那些个“专家”、“博士”趋炎附势，满嘴仁义道德讲究法律的“清理”异族，完全丧失自己的是非观，600万犹太人就这样死在你们屠刀下。
德国人开会确实严谨…历史上著名的万湖会议，竟决定了6百万犹太人的命运。实在是可怖的开端。德国人的反省也确实令人感叹这个民族的希望。
这群人讨论600万人的生死 居然那么从容淡定 细思极恐有没有？ 这个版本做了一些改编 资料是绝密的 甚至会议纪要都是要求销毁处理 这个里面最后都发出去了？
一次关于“human are just number”的清零行动会议
混淆是非颠倒黑白丧尽天良冠冕堂皇
当一份执念通过语言反复吟唱，便成了诅咒。诅咒就是执念，寄生于可以容纳这份情感的躯体，怨灵修改躯体，借由纯爱拔除，像是一场归还姓名的仪式。牺牲百鬼夜行来换乙骨和夏油杰对决也不算很亏，狗卷前辈我一整个抱住不撒手！
以一种系统性的体制机制管理运作的官僚行政系统的例行会议，来讨论种族灭绝和大屠杀，这才是不寒而栗的地方，即系统合法且合乎程序的推行反人类的灭绝政策。为了大...
轴心说“轴心”是轴心
主办方其实早就已经计划好灭绝犹太人的一系列具体措施了，但要在各路高官面前争取全员通过。室内剧，全场对白，看着真累，结尾演职员字幕无声滑过，大屠杀即将开始。
改编自真实事件，看的时候会引起很多对历史的思考
原来这种级别的会议都能和我们公司的晨会如此之像（当然，会议主题除外）
枯燥的内容却如此吸引人
台词密集，下半场会议很精彩。这种解决问题的会议纪要，换成那啥也通用。
还挺好看的……剧情有张有驰，没有很吵，画面和音乐还挺有品味的。如果乙骨是漫画的男主角，我可能会很喜欢他……
不如《阴谋》（2022.5.07豆瓣8.0分）
。“远程无接触的屠杀可以减少执行者的负罪感”，德三真是把人性玩明白了。虽然这段历史早已耳熟能详，但是再看一遍仍然触目惊心。
不寒而栗，一群道貌岸然的“优质人”在90分钟内制定出清晰的犹太人种族屠杀计划，人性的邪恶在他们心中泛滥成灾，那些个“专家”、“博士”趋炎附势，满嘴仁义道德讲究法律的“清理”异族，完全丧失自己的是非观，600万犹太人就这样死在你们屠刀下。
燃归燃，但友谊羁绊守护啊什么的，这中二的台词，为啥让我犯了中二尴尬的病，一定是自己的原因 多少有些无福消受了。
本片的拍摄方法恰恰映衬了当时决策的“理性”，以及这种理性下“人”的缺席、“人口”的诞生。
怎么才能知道自己可以呢？在经过了那么多的困难、打击之后，怎么才能知道自己的梦想会成真呢，没人知道，但是坚持到最后的人，他更值得去得到吧。和朋友在餐厅那番谈话，其实觉得是最有触动的，到了一个年纪的人，他总要决定，自己是曾经端过餐盘的作家，还是只是一个有着爱好和梦想的服务员。
