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".
氛围有了，但是故事性几乎为0，老套的剧情能在各种恐怖片中找到原型，如果都能像前两个故事一样可以四星，但是最后一个故事和主线故事真的无聊到爆。守夜小故事真的好看极了！！！
纯粹cult片……改造机器人那一段感觉自己在玩《生化危机8》，第一人称太像在玩游戏了… 纯粹血腥，剧情就别想了…
评论都是咋回事？这一部明明不拉垮啊，除了主线不行，第四个生涩难懂，其他三个故事都水准之上。尤其人体机械改造那一集，惊艳。
几个故事都挺无聊的，也就第二个机器人的故事还稍好一点
纯正的邪典的味儿，它回来了！鼠人、守灵夜、人机合一、囚禁吸血鬼，依然是印尼那part最佳！21.10.24
可以看出很多忠粉喜欢这个系列，但其实四个故事都乏善可陈。从故事创意度来讲，最后一个最好，但完成度一般。机械人那个故事Robocop早就做过了，但这个故事完成度最好。前两个故事真是挺没意思的。
1=3＞2=4=主线故事，两个不错，三个不太行，所以只能给三星。
前两个故事休闲沉浸，后两个故事一个牛逼，一个搞笑。空军指挥官就像是过家家一样，机枪打吸血鬼时，还把队友打死了，一团乌烟瘴气蟑螂兵。还想炸大厦呢
全片可以给七分
依然保持那种录像带画质增加纪实真实感，一个总故事串联四个小故事，还是最喜欢第三个那个实验机器姬视角的，恐怖血腥暴力是主打。
缝合怪内容，缝合怪电影。四个短片，下水道鼠人+守灵丧尸+缝合怪机械人+沙雕团灭。只有第三个值得看，其它就随便看看吧。而且3也是比较忠实借助VHS的手法，怪博士整合出一系列缝合怪，和人类队伍对抗，用铁头女的VHS记录双方战斗和自己的痛苦。重金属暴力蒸汽朋克，血浆里是女孩的无奈，4星。其它2星，平均3
地下鼠人，虚空守灵，机械改造人，吸血鬼屠杀
有那味了，不过几个故事是真烂啊，感觉让我当编剧都比这强点！
有点不知所谓，吓人纯靠剪辑，然而并不吓人。真不敢相信这是2021年的电影
太有趣了吧？几个故事都各有千秋，我最喜欢是机器人那个，短短10多分钟能把人性诉说得这么有层次感，赞
超喜欢这个系列，这个系列的印尼篇都很好看。
3.5，在这个类型里，其实还算不错了。几个故事都不错，够地下，够带劲。主线那个故事比较拉胯，故弄玄虚，拔高也完全没拔起来。
感觉和前几部比都没让人眼前一亮的感觉，第三个故事感觉是地狱旅店和弗兰肯斯坦的军队结合体。
what's more, 最重要的是尝试用糊画质伪装真实感，那你那镜头为什么一直在剪辑啊。。。逆大天。。这一点真的做得太烂了
评分过于低了吧！这片子很好啊，血腥恐怖暴力都有，除了贯穿全片和吸血鬼的稍稍逊色一些，前两三个故事都成功吓到我了。
