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".
游戏玩家会喜欢的吧，但是他们有时间看电影吗？
逻辑碰一点、伦理碰一点、哲学碰一点、最后回到小情小爱。不用太深，只求完整，挺好了
如果那一吻是为时已晚的结局而不是被加速的转折点，我想会更符合我的期待。当然，一切就乱了。
自我认同和现实差距，而对爱情的唯一性不可替代性无法实现，现实女主必须跟现实人搭档，他就成了备胎一样的或者非唯一性，和ai以及机器管家一样的设定，你的爱都给了他，而他爱的人很多，知道真相后，人就坍塌了。
AI觉醒的故事内核，不过此片比《西部世界》的高明之处在于，此片中的AI其实是程序员小哥有意让他觉醒的，程序员小哥创造的就是“可以学习和成长”的AI，这也是符合真实逻辑的，因为如果没有人为设定，AI想要有自己的思想是不可能的。
从NPC到NPC。实在不是我的菜，而且一大半的时间都在谈情说爱。我只在美队出场的时候笑了一下。
看不出演技差在哪的时候 想想金凯瑞 就明朗了
比较零碎，世界观设定、观念、人物、观念都比较普通，靠调皮台词醒脑，钱老板骚舞和dude脑残比较好笑。让人想起、但又远不如楚门和头号玩家，没觉得这致敬有多好，只觉得好像是有点玩砸了。两星半
NPC玩家的自我觉醒，土拨鼠之日般的重复度日应该会戳中社畜的心，可惜后半段代码之争实在很无聊，搞了半天虚拟爱情最终还是要以珍惜眼前人的俗套收尾，而且反派boss也真的太弱了，除了祭出大块头提供了些笑料，另外有版权真好呀，神盾和光剑随便用，美队还能打酱油，塔图姆也还蛮搞笑的。
童心未泯，有趣。雷诺兹太有魅力，结尾女主选择搭档，虽然这才是真爱，但实在是让我意难平。特效创意很棒。
众星客串加密集彩蛋也无法拯救稚气无聊的剧情，不如改名叫「找彩蛋」
当你知道世界都是虚构的，存在没有任何意义，那么过好每一天就是最好的活在当下。
说实话，电影完后想想，挺心疼男主的，人工智能最大的悲哀，恐怕就是孤独吧～
因为没有streaming不能在家里的影院看只好去了amc，天呐也太好看了吧笑到抽筋🤣🤣🤣
4.5 私心很喜欢，尤其是八十年代那摇曳而迷幻的音乐，飘荡在醉人的巴黎的夜，仿佛是那抚慰人心的电波，温暖夜归的人。极小极平常的故事却拍出了对时代的追缅和对城市的热爱，叙事和表演滴水不漏，简直是以小见大拍电影的范本。
也就是王者峽谷里的超級兵和野怪、龍突然不肯給大家打了。
看的中文配音版，我应该找原版的，中文配音太诡异太中二了受不了。这个故事挺好，就是那种美国六十年代科幻新浪潮运动里会有的经典故事，我看完想了很久，这不就是罗杰泽拉兹尼的《趁生命气息逗留》吗，当年我还想过《光明王》没法拍，看了这片子想明白了，可以就这么拍，全是CG特效的萨姆大神在印度神教的世界里拯救苍生，那得多美。我越来越觉得《光明王》的故事写的是北美奴隶匪帮出了个叛徒救印第安人的故事（x）。
虽然它的剧情很老套，但它仍然是写给玩家的情书！社会再怎么发展，小孩子也不可以不玩Video Game！
觉醒的AI，存档再来的西部世界。即便算不上多新鲜的创意，电影也拍得非常流畅。然而，对于所表现和歌颂的游戏NPC，电影再努力，也只是游戏的向下兼容成品，如同没能面世的“自由世界2”。
槽点当然还挺多，不一一列举了
