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".
比《金刚川》不知道高到哪里去了。
片子时间有点过于长了，电影画面效果不错。但是剧情方面有点难以言尽，作为弟弟伍万里的角色刻画不够细致，他存在的意义是什么， 一开始的演技有一点点尴尬。整个电影把美军拍的有点过于懦弱了吧………… 作为故事大背景抗美援朝，也只有中美在对抗。片子不错的是画面效果方面，还有打光布景方面都很不错。
4-5之间徘徊了一下，觉得还是蛮有诚意的作品，所以往高了走，拍出了设备与力量悬殊下，意志与巧思营造的胜利可能性。无关影片褒贬，应该也不算剧透，仍然感慨刘秘书牺牲得过于草率，仍然打趣美国是否真的有反思过失败的原因。
从这部影片创造的票房奇迹这一点，就能给它十个赞。连出版社出版的《血战长津湖》和《决战朝鲜》两部书都卖断货，至少让更多的国人愿意去了解70年前发生的事件。战争太残酷了，加上装备的差距和气候的严酷，真是惨烈。有两个细节印象深刻：一是北极熊全军覆没，冲进指挥部，说：“有些枪不能打”，军人，对真正的军人是敬重的，哪怕他是敌人；二是美军撤退时看见“冰雕”投去的尊敬的眼神。美中不足的是，主线对严寒表现得少了一些，其实从史料看，这是东线战场长津湖之战非常重要的特点
以人物单线始，兄长线在中段偏够就完成了转变，所以只有以群戏其他角色的悲壮来完成结尾升华，总觉得乱乱的怪怪的，重心不明，备受争议的网课镜头看到时真是会心一笑，小村庄的那场戏看着是节奏和视觉是最爽的，后面的则以全局呈现更多。以及观看的时候总是不自觉的想，战争片的内核应该永恒是反战。
其实，以前的我挺无语的，因为不喜欢历史这门科目而选择了理科，而现在我却又在基层教历史，每回讲历史的时候都很怕自己讲错，查询各种各样的资料，一直以来上历史课对于我来说，那就是胆战心惊。但这一年，我逐渐有了改变，先是《觉醒年代》，思想的进步、觉醒，再到现在的《长津湖》，曾经先人们抛头颅洒热血的震撼，给我的触动很大很大，我们不该遗忘历史，不该觉得历史无所谓！
千玺很灵，战争场面很宏大，前半段云山战役后部分长津湖战役，故事基本按照历史事实拍的，很精彩
伟大的抗美援朝精神历久弥新！
第四是文戏中点燃情绪的就是沂蒙小调那里，可背景音乐短，情绪刚要上来就结束了。
（补充：忘说了，还有很多不合时宜的说教，战场上哪有功夫慢镜头说教啊……）
看的首映，前半段真的很不错，那种从家里坐上火车去异国他乡战斗的场景。后半段太主旋律电影了，兰小龙的剧本斯以为还是更适合拍成电视剧。
有好几个瞬间让我觉得历史和我眼前的时空重叠在一起，切实地感受到那段峥嵘岁月。
是我看过最好的战争片 2d看出3d的效果
4分5星；中国人太他娘的不容易了！！不看不是中国人！！（美国人的部分演的好塑料 囧）1942年中途岛，咱还是小米加步枪的打游击，1950年已经正面和美帝硬杠且杠赢了，牛逼就一个字，我只说一次🐂
三个半
美军飞机落下一个一个炮弹，一个一个炮弹下是一片一片的黄衣服，一片一片黄衣服下是铮铮铁骨。
最令人遗憾的不是这部作品单一的问题，而是这只是接下来几年整体趋势的开端，看着国庆档一片大红，心里有些怪怪的
还是很有冲击力的～因为有他们山河才无恙～感恩一切f
强于预期的流水账，几个战斗场面抛开爆炸特效来讲很不错
没有想象中那么好，剧情结构散乱，176分钟的片长，对于这部电影来说，稍微有点太长了。
