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".
前面几段未免零碎（理解这个故事的难拍），后面才逐渐显露意图，David Lowery的鬼魅幽默仍在，但Gawain这个角色的层次却很难说丰富，缺乏魅力的漂流摆件，也许是Dev的演技也有责任，或是Vikander总是太过耀眼，配角总能演出抢光主角风头的气势，到最后徒留Lord那一吻带来了惊喜。
真传说故事，高文爵士的试验之旅，画面优美，情节隐晦，相比起传说本体，电影进行了根本性的改编。
没有宗教知识背景 看得云里雾里 看了第一篇影评后大概了解了各种隐喻
美术极佳，剧情对我来说过于枯燥冗长，分了几天才看完
虽然情节有点超现实，但是道理是不错的，爱心和同情心超越人类和动物的界限。
二刷， 觉得值得5分。电影的改编让故事更合理
画面摄影服美音乐都很不错，但拍的就是放慢了2倍速讲一个老土的故事，跟2015年那版的麦克白有一拼了。
画面没的说，很美，高文旅途中的一切都是这么奇幻不解，最喜欢的还是结尾：well done，my brave knight，off with your head。
视觉上太棒了，虽然有奇怪的宗教背景，但是A24太契合我的审美了，怎么高级怎么来。舞台剧般的台词让故事更加神秘，就是特效的绿有时看着太假了
每次去dt都会路过依托比克的cineplex，好像今年半年都挂着一个很大的这部的海报而我一直以为是个什么超英片（。倍速看就还行 成为骑士的历练
从《鬼魅浮生》开始就特别喜欢大卫·洛维的风格，到了这部最新作也不例外。精致的构图与色彩运用，令强迫症拍手叫好的运镜，再加上极其有韵味中世纪骑士风格，造就了这部观感相当舒服的电影。虽然剧情并不算精彩，但最后一幕捡回了不少分，完成了一个合格的收尾，也已经达到了我的预期，好看。4星。
A24的商业化失败之作，视效华丽，质感很好，可还是艺术片的讲故事手法，甚至套在这样一个神话诗歌为底的作品上，商业片最重要的还是直白刺激，上手就是史诗叙事缺了好多介绍，建议直接看影评补背景再看 - -
看了《北欧人》回来改个分 发现《绿衣骑士》还是有好多我爱的镜头的 //看石黑一雄的《被掩埋的巨人》的时候印象中的骑士时代就是这般迷雾似的阴暗昏沉；画面是对的，剧本？剪辑？表达方式？还是太故弄玄虚了一点。
只想要爽片和动作大场面的观众还是洗洗睡吧，感觉看了个寂寞。重述骑士童话，美术无可挑剔，玄之又玄的宗教氛围感十足；但是节奏灰暗、缓慢，内容空洞，台词不伦不类，看不到人物的性格、情感和成长，人物塑造极其失败。到了最后的砍头那里，看得人心里着急死了：磨叽什么，快砍啊快砍啊！
画面走毒德风，叙事氛围走克鲁苏方向，故事是预言，符号化的东西还不太够劲儿
所有的星给服化道，然而看下来是个寂寞。#北游记
7/10 故事被改得有点过了。摄影配乐都是A24喜闻乐见水平
节奏慢的令人发指，虽然说有不少童话色彩在内，也有一些特效，可拖沓的故事，空洞的主题，很小的格局，都是让人很难坚持，就算看完，也没有恢弘的场面，更没有惊心动魄的战斗，于是男主个人的成长真心还是蛮无趣的。
高文骑士刚开始也太挫了，居然被两个女的打劫了
回家的旅程
