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".
概念有的，前面节奏还算紧凑，后面剧本又糟糕，把控能力也全面坍塌
前半段弱菜鸡蓄力聚神，后半段钉枪女百步穿杨。
酷酷酷！全程无尿点 节奏把握的很好 结尾太爽了！喜欢女主的蓝发
大数据疫情时代包装下的犯罪片，导演还是想表达数据化带来的信息无处不裸露在外的惊悚也如同Angle极其敏感的表演一样。中间有场戏镜头把她影得很小，紧贴着墙走出寻求安全感，外界环境放大为噪音污染，摄影机好似尾随窥探的运动，妙用楼梯、机房、长廊等场景压迫感、窒息感、恐惧感表现淋漓尽致。
7/10.
无聊极了 网大广告 各种电子产品广告 资本/消费主义女孩最爱的产品集合 包括这种公寓和生活方式 处理音频那段太搞笑了 且不说能不能处理成那样 就明明插件能搞定非要搬出硬件装逼秀一下 btw当今这种技术水平阶段 非常讨厌某猫精灵/某爱同学这类蠢玩意儿
一个小巧但不那么精湛的故事，什么都有，窥视➕智能助手➕数据隐私➕匪帮追杀➕焦躁症➕创伤恢复➕疫情，但又什么都只是提了一下，结尾转得更是生硬，只能说是探索之作。不过女主真的好美🥵🥵
后窗，姐妹情仇，窃听大阴谋，等到天黑。”……其实拍的并不好
中规中矩吧，就是说娱乐性还可以，小女子智斗杀人犯！以前看过一部叫《叠影谋杀案》现在叫《杀手在门外》哈哈哈。。。主演是西格尼韦佛《异形》女猪脚，也是说有这个只能在屋里不能出门然后巴拉巴拉。。。不过让我有个也装个声控的这种东东，挺有意思的。。。
7.0，疫情期间成功的小成本作品，AI＋METOO＋COVID，近几年的热点基本上都有了，社恐程序员的设定设置得蛮好的，最开始看到天猫精灵KIMI我以为又是一部批判人工智能缺陷的电影，结果发现完全相反。而且我还以为女主是叫KIMI，类似于《超体》的设定，前面铺垫没啥看点，COVID期间远程办公，居家日常，我比较喜欢的一个片段是女主初次出门的那段，摄影机高速移动，画幅抽象变形，把一个社恐人士出门时内心恐惧与不安拍得淋漓尽致，结局一般吧，正常结局，没啥爆点。最近几年桌面电影都频出，而KIMI则很好地结合了现实与虚拟世界，算是新方向的探索吧。这电影免费给AI小精灵打了一次广告。
还蛮有趣的实话 虽然女主会让我想到前女友.妈的.
这部影片警戒长得丑的我们，英雄救美挨刀子都得不到美人。
一般 但是每次女的都不爱补刀 真是不喜欢这种妇人之仁的塑造 本剧女主补刀补上瘾 钉子枪大站真枪 简直小鲁班 跑都不让你跑
剧本很扎实~精力都放在放大剧情有限的转折点上~非常solid不玩虚的~
《切勿擅动》的反义词：渐强的语气，且时刻保持着幽默感。
人工智能+新冠疫情版本的《后窗》，有点意思，索德伯格拍这张小而精的电影简直手到擒来，可惜高潮泄了，反杀像开了金手指，虎头蛇尾得很明显。题外话，女主简直过着我想要的理想生活，可以宅家工作谁想出门，两次发色都好好看。
有点点致敬但剧本真的明明很多地方都可以更好
结尾开门收玫瑰太帅了 我都弯了
角色设定简洁趣味
“小度，小度”，“I am here”，“录音”。
