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".
一个会议，一个主题，600万犹太人消失……
跟英版的一群莎剧戏骨，英式幽默，戏剧高浓不同的是，德国这一版的表演非常冰冷地做出决策：如何让这场大屠杀执行起来更人道？注意，是德国人更人道地执行，而不是人道地对待犹太人，非常精准地还原了史实。
原来这种级别的会议都能和我们公司的晨会如此之像（当然，会议主题除外）
三星半，算是很工整的歌舞片吧，但是裡面的歌舞編排只能説普通，各位演技都還算在線，只是故事本身過於波瀾不驚，沒有什麽記憶點，感覺過幾天就忘光了……
以一种系统性的体制机制管理运作的官僚行政系统的例行会议，来讨论种族灭绝和大屠杀，这才是不寒而栗的地方，即系统合法且合乎程序的推行反人类的灭绝政策。为了大...
渐入佳境，Sunday 那段简直是百老汇春晚！
与剧集有一些差距，胆大都场面的确展现了MAPPA的技术
和鬼灭剧场版差不多的感受，还是追剧有意思一点
更像一部会议记录，如果改成黑白色彩就更像了。。。
乙骨和夏油最后pk时纯爱与正义之战想笑，以5t5还是一如既往最强娜娜明永远超可靠
【037】看似唇枪舌剑，实则一锤定音。在种族净化和服从命令的基础上，一切皆可被抛弃。艾希曼演的到位
啊这 我居然被纯爱感动的流下了泪水 但还是没忍住中场睡着了 为什么感觉万物均可怨灵化 绷带哥露出眼睛太帅了
没有一声惨呼
加菲的炫丽独秀！但太过热闹的形式，终究不是我最喜欢的。
从万湖会议,以商讨着欧洲新秩序,加上帝国版图,渐渐深入的讨论,屠戮犹太人,针对,混血犹太人,从二分之一德意志犹太混血,到四分之一混血,最后还是为了维护,除掉那么大批次犹太人的德国人精神健康,全然不顾,正义人伦,民族果然有壁垒,也永不可能平等,不过伴随着,东进苏联的败北,惨重的上演了,悲剧的柏林沦陷,战争的代价,两百万柏林女人沦为战利品,而后十年德国经济复苏,牺牲了十多年的生育工具,多么惨痛,日本人可能不会拍出来,也只有德国在反思
记录了一场会议，部门的承担，推诿，抱怨，忍让，达成共识。单从戏剧角度来说，没有特别大的戏剧冲突，一些不满最终也得到最大认同。不过是战时一个高层新议案展开的会议……吗。如果不去看他们讨论的内容，这得是多无趣的电影。一旦听见他们的会议内容，极大的可怖感能震颤整个人。他们为何如此理所应当…以为其中能有一些人性出现，可毕竟，依然是纳粹…人类历史上能有如此有秩序，但无人性的组织，太可怕了。
这部电影还挺不错的，时间也不是很短，人设剧情都还可以。
本片的拍摄方法恰恰映衬了当时决策的“理性”，以及这种理性下“人”的缺席、“人口”的诞生。
以一种系统性的体制机制管理运作的官僚行政系统的例行会议，来讨论种族灭绝和大屠杀，这才是不寒而栗的地方，即系统合法且合乎程序的推行反人类的灭绝政策。为了大局（the greater good）长远规划，高效、科学、精确的程序，加上宏大叙事的煽情、口号式的意识形态宣讲和复述宣传以重申思想身份的认同，一整套下来会议逻辑得到普遍认可，恶的界限更加模糊，被逻辑支配说服，而不去选择思考和质疑这一“逻辑”的荒诞和不妥，也就只有尚存一点人道主义的会潜台词发出无论何种形式都是在屠杀的疑问，但他的声音很快就被自己和大环境所沉默。单纯就会议与会者来看，权责不清、媚上贪权、派系斗争、官僚主义、利益媾和、贪腐、推诿、一些权力移交后的历史遗留问题，魏玛掌权的没落遗老和三德子当权新贵间的唇枪舌剑的话术博弈还是很精彩的。
通片一个冷字。顺便说一句，让小纳粹们PTSD的娘子谷大屠杀，在基辅有一个墓园和纪念碑。前几年乌克兰政府把前往纪念碑的一条大路改名Stepan Bandera大道。可怜人必有可恨之处
