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".
挺有想法的影片
ps这俩妹妹真是近几年恐怖片熟脸了 米娅高斯跟悉尼妹外形气质和发展路线还挺像的
我是唯一一个发现有结尾彩蛋的吗 回到了老太婆年轻的时候 解释了湖水里车的来历
小男孩一天到晚解构人类性行为就真的很让人疲劳。导演用猎奇的视角光明正大拍情色恐怖片，有种【哎我就是犯规我就是不要脸】的感觉。他知道观众会对什么厌恶和回避，也知道观众基于政治正确不敢把这些说出口。老年人需要sex，老年人也会想看电影吧，希望不会有倒霉老年人看到这个。三个女主角尤其是米亚高斯，确实让人垂涎，但她接这种片确实可惜。
里面那几个妹子还都挺好看，各有风格，而且那些拍片场景太香艳了，国内没看过的值得出资源下载了瞅瞅。全片居然还有不少笑点，太意外了。恐怖片里算是质量不错的。最后就是，我一开始觉得脚指甲油好看，外型也对胃口的那姑娘，居然活到最后了，真好嘿嘿。
一句话影评:千万别惹性饥渴的老妇人！
3.5，性和死亡是恐怖片的基本元素，这部片子再次强调了这一点，强调的方式既直接又巧妙。
作为kid cudi的音乐粉，想不通除了下海梦之外的原因来接这个角色，不过还是有被他的SIZE惊讶到
《大型公益片之关注老年人性需求》！老太太是米娅高斯演的！听说还有Pearl的前传，可以期待下.68/100
老年人表示有被冒犯到，呵，你们也不会年轻太久。
口味挺重的电影，我给7星，题材是之前没有过的，这就已经很难得了，现在的恐怖片题材都已经是千篇一律了。
全片的点倒也不是所谓的老去，是给大家看最初年轻貌美自恃蒙神眷顾高过众人的人，因为眼里的梁木，最终陷在了自己的地狱里，神不但收回恩慈，还要行神迹来送他们上路嘞。
7分，复古邪典的一次合格命题作文。类型片惯性需求里该有的元素一概俱全，再加上了邪教成分，更基本齐活了。有心看这类cult片儿，何须来那么多矫情的要求，不就看一个爽字么。何况那场年迈夫妻床戏，加上匠心的上帝视觉运镜，堪称邪典创新。关爱老年人身心健康，这点可以对标《遗落家庭》。
中间看的我快睡着了，讲真，作为一个恐怖片能做到这一点真不简单。
很不错的恐怖电影，老年人的描写，衰老肉体恐惧，情色价值观表述，甚至是老太太翩翩起舞，或许观众太期待升华，到底这么重笔墨描写一个老太太有何用意？最后反而走回了欧美恐怖片大杀特杀的套路作结尾，导致风评不佳吧
在同类型片里还算说得过去，总感觉老太太是欲求不满靠杀人来获取快感
除了navel-gazing有点儿严重之外（自指这一点Scream原版拿捏得最到位），整体都不错。
#22#35 半部情色半部惊悚，中间转换时还送了一部优秀的文艺MV。爆米花表示十分满足。近年来少有的不拖泥带水不故弄玄虚不脑残的优秀恐怖片…话说小妹子想拍片前蠢蠢欲动的样子真的特别迷人
这比苦悲更血腥，更恐怖，也更有历史意味，将美国小镇两个世代的道德冲突展现了出来。
这是一部恶心人的影片。
