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".
爱情戏拍得太烂，没看头，失败！
依样画葫芦，续集不像续集重启不像重启，多半星给neo trinity的牵手。
大坝水城迈阿密，红心皇后难寻踪，遗忘时钟店，下沉钢琴房，时差对话述情真；既然所有浪漫的故事都以悲剧结尾，且让我们将故事结束在中间；难民营耶稣彦祖堂主教你做人：poor龟孙子，that's狗屁！……自然灾害战后大背景设定呈现都很优秀，金句蛮感人，结尾蛮诗意，但人物塑造/故事细节/视听语言还是粗糙过头；作为诺兰亲家资源太好，又有编剧前作《西部世界》成功案例，第一部电影就整那么大制作，估计有点Hold不住，对此表示理解，五星期待后作
好喜欢Jonathan Groff，他应该演个主角去。
大坝水城迈阿密，红心皇后难寻踪，遗忘时钟店，下沉钢琴房，时差对话述情真；既然所有浪漫的故事都以悲剧结尾，且让我们将故事结束在中间；难民营耶稣彦祖堂主教你做人：poor龟孙子，that's狗屁！……自然灾害战后大背景设定呈现都很优秀，金句蛮感人，结尾蛮诗意，但人物塑造/故事细节/视听语言还是粗糙过头；作为诺兰亲家资源太好，又有编剧前作《西部世界》成功案例，第一部电影就整那么大制作，估计有点Hold不住，对此表示理解，五星期待后作
sense8×黑客帝国，龌龊司机的sense8团建活动，冗长的对话，消解的情节，这不就是沃卓斯基在sense8以后对the matrix的现代化批判性重构，但失去了独具魅力的影调，袁和平指导下绝美的打戏，再加上跟20年前对比几乎毫无进步的特效真的很让人失望！
近未来neo-noir，可惜这位导演的剧本写不出多少人生况味，情感和人设都比较肤浅老套剧情展开也没啥新鲜，调色不乍地，全靠帅哥美女撑场。唯一新鲜点可能是路易斯安那大佬吴彦祖让美国黑话中加了一门新的外来语：普通话，将来兄弟们不懂得guanxi就当不了pengyou了
and 这结局 可能真是他们合约最后一款游戏的内容吧
期待值很高，总体上却不如期待。但是作为娱乐片，还是值得一看。
“Neo你还能飞得起来么？” “不用了 我老婆带我飞”
不看觉得少点什么……去电影院看觉得浪费钱……在电脑上看觉得浪费时间……全程如坐针毡……如鲠在喉……如芒在背……几度想要删除不看……但是还是忍住了……千万不要拍五了……脑壳痛……看得我昏昏欲睡，却又不想快进……看完就觉得浪费生命……浪费感情……浪费那些投资……mmp
现在这个时间点有关追忆故人的电影还是值得拍的，可惜拍得稀烂，还是女导演女编剧，我就？？？
3.5星，花半小时让我们再重新思考这个故事的起源，官方玩梗自嘲启动第四部的原因；从男主换成了女主；几乎是第一部的翻版；视觉上能玩的基本都被玩过了，包括桥段，快银的时间，速度与激情的僵尸车，等等，但还是能带入回忆和情绪～
《超感猎杀》演员再就业，《黑客帝国》男女主角沉浸网恋。最让我失望的是基努里维斯的台词都是why，what，really等中小学英语词汇，与他对话的人都是以gre的哲学社会科学为主题的文学评论，都2021了，主角做了救世主也啥也不知道。最让我难以理解的是这剪辑天天切分动作切分节奏不累吗，我的视觉一直在各个角落，看的闹心
我觉这部作为旧作重启的序幕算合格的。毕竟尘封18年经典系列已被后辈竞相模仿借鉴到乏味你叫人家还能做啥新意来?觉得尼奥与崔妮蒂设定很符合我们这些老粉毕竟大家岁数大了心态和能力确实不行了。沃卓斯基变性别后画风也变阳光了画面清晰明亮许多仿佛在看Sense8剧场版。希望以后能延伸到剧动画和游戏，特别是蓝毛小姐姐这条线我很喜欢
汇集了不少国产商业片的特点呀，剧本没写好就开机，成片节奏拖沓，演员敷衍了事🤭
不是所有人都渴望控制，就像不是所有人都渴望自由。B-
狗尾续貂。就算是我最爱的黑客帝国与基努里维斯，我也得这么说
友情分三星不能更多了，一个难有共鸣的中老年爱情片罢了，明知是烂片依然买了IMAX，从此我欠卓沃斯基姐妹和基努里维斯的电影票一笔勾销了吧… 真是各方面的“英雄迟暮”。就像，尼奥想飞，起飞5厘米后坠落被风（重力）带起的肚腩一样，又好笑又令人神伤（虽然我还是很爱很爱他）。以及，求求不要让基努里维斯谈恋爱了，太不合适了唉。小乔是史密斯算是唯一惊喜了。
三星吧，快20年了终于等到女神飞了呜呜呜呜呜呜
