剧情介绍

  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".

    乍一看還有點恐怖,完全可以往其他方向發展:不管是常見的在鬼神框架內的對抗邪神,還是親情和精神病女性的生活不易,或者是最後揭穿這種迷信背後的空無一物。但是這一項也沒有發生,甚至還用情節交叉來掩蓋劇情推進的緩慢,也絲毫沒有發揮蒙太奇作用,完全流俗於神秘懸疑氣氛和嚇不到人的jumpscare(預告片不如別放那個鏡頭)。就像很多人評價女主角是自己找死,這一設置就說明導演並不知道自己想做什麼——他只是想把沒人相信、只會令人覺得不適的虛假詛咒傳播出去,然後讓人覺得精神病人+女性是自己找死的,是只能為邪惡效力的。很無奈,服從確實是種「女性性」),可是你也拍不成Rosemary’s Baby,而且人家可沒有讓觀眾接受對女性的惡意,也不是把女性的倫理簡單當作順從...

    哈哈哈哈等于说观众被“玩”了一道 大家都就说晦气了 导演设计得挺好的 这样的从视觉上设计还是挺牛逼的(视觉暂留)从开头就有交待视觉上的错觉这一道理 结尾又整了一道措不及防 但是作为伪纪录片 有时候有些镜头插入的视角蛮奇怪的 不知道哪里出来的 或许应该叫神奇摄影机在哪里

    蛮有意思的。经典台式恐怖桥段蛮多,但导演在去中心化和meta上很有想法,这两个算是新时代创作者必须关心的问题了。视觉错觉小惊喜。从“传播”切入是个好思路,下一部可以拍一个社交网络mix叫魂的狂霸酷炫拽的……足够影评人分析个三五年。

    詛咒即祝福,祝福即詛咒。劇本亂(尤其不同時序的穿插常令人納悶,未解點多,人物邏輯困惑〔如阿清師〕,現在110分鐘片長感覺也是扔掉很多、努力壓下來的結果,通常恐怖片不會這麼長),不過作為一個形式走得比內容更激進、也更應關注之作,對於每一場戲的官能與節奏處理(真正嚇人時刻其實很少,更多是懸吊著的高壓緊繃感),放在近年台灣為數不少的民俗恐怖片系譜下是一時之選;想想柯孟融從當年輔大大一拍短片《鬼印》爆紅,中間歷經顛簸(《絕命派對》反應不佳,《鬼音》沒下文,而恐怖片成就後有晚輩程偉豪《紅衣小女孩》系列樹立標竿,西進發展不如同輩陳正道成功,大製作《打噴嚏》命運多舛⋯),在奔40歲前也算奮力交出一個終有迴響的代表作。偽紀錄片,特效比例頗高,邪教元素夠邪門。密集恐懼,噁心元素,視覺詭計。

    这么好看刺激的恐怖片打低分怎么想的,从头到尾喘不过气,特别是闽南地区出身看这些拜拜仪式简直是更毛骨悚然,演员表现都特别好,说实话故事有点抑郁,就是“无论如何也逃不出无法被救赎”的设定,真的吓死我了今晚估计睡不着了….

    人还是要有敬畏之心,几个人擅闯禁地还到处搞破坏,人家在拜拜你在刻🐔,人家虔诚搞仪式你几位一脚踹烂门进去还不懂装懂东摸西摸,连神像的盖脸布都要掀开看看,不招邪回来你当人家鬼吃素的!后面也是,口口声声说爱女儿,结果还不是不听劝告给女儿吃东西,害了驱魔师也害了女儿和自己。
