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".
22_066。对不起，这类题材我实在是不行。另外，李善均真的不是大舌头吗？
作为一体两面的暗面，薛景求表现精彩。
中规中矩的皮套大战（情怀做的也不够，也有可能是腻了），新骑士最后还是沦为了解决末日机器的工具人，父子关系的纽带让我认识到，解决问题的关键在于，父子之间对于坐和谐号还是复兴号需要达成共识。一号的传承，根本不是在演本乡猛，他只是在尽可能模仿他父亲，并且不得不说的是制作真的不太上心，六个场景六种滤镜，阿拉斯加的部分简直就是阴间放大镜。最后求求东映，别再动作戏的时候停下来煽情和灌鸡汤了，这时间让整部片子紧凑点不好吗，1颗星给OP
皮套大战yyds，剧情也有在好好写，真的还蛮不错发
被女主一口气爬上16楼的体力折服，以及最后进入电梯的勇气，这种爱情太有力量了，谁扛得住啊！
很典型的法国风格了，沙滩上那段吻戏真的绝美。
结尾赛高，也就法国人能拍出这样的电影了吧~
她是真飘浮生活之上的人 结尾那番剖析的话讲的太好了
阳光，海，充满生气的阿娜伊斯，好美的一部电影
爱胜过一切，不是吗？阳光 沙滩 炽热 浪漫 还有奔跑的阿娜伊斯
感觉作为50周年纪念作格局有点小了，但故事还是挺打动人心的，有几句台词不错，特别saber关于约定被打破的的台词。完美联动利维斯TV版也是不错的。总体比夏季那部好，但跟01剧场版还差了10个电王。
三星半，可说是“政客中的乌托邦”了，通过一系列脏手段去完成一个不脏的人生抱负，实在是太理想化了。尤其后半部分的处理，巧妙地捍卫主角的正面形象，即便这么干会折损作品的魅力。
勉强及格的剧场版，道阻且长吧。这给小孩看，小孩也不看。一到周年纪念作就搬1号，无非就是搬的方式不一样，这次搬儿子；然后找几个前辈回归，这次索性不找，狩崎直接发皮套。
B线 未完 打倒魔王之后
我发现吧，精彩的群戏人物塑造，编剧和戏骨是相辅相成的。在这方面，对比国内作品。。。
这字幕我裂了。
“C’est l’histoire d’une jeune femme qui s'agite. Et c’est aussi l’histoire d’un grand désir.” 这段介绍很贴切。前半部分我是很不喜欢anais的，感觉这个女孩子很虚浮，包括中后部和emilie的初相识，都有一种极为自我关注的青年特征（哪里像是30岁）。最后一段相爱之后就落地了很多。
倒是有点感觉全片有点风格不定，欲严肃欲娱乐，其实有点难，立意有点简单，对于薛景求的人物，有点不够深，脸谱化，就难以更衬得主角的矛盾复杂。
有幽闭恐惧症的阿娜伊斯，从来不和任何人一起坐电梯，也不坐地铁，到电影的最后她说出“我不同意”并牵起艾米莉的手，带着她跑入电梯，两人在彩色玻璃前拥吻。克服了幽闭恐惧症的阿娜伊斯，真正地与另一个人建立了联系。她也不再毫无牵挂，当艾米莉委婉地说分手时，阿娜伊斯曾经美丽迷茫的眼睛里充满了泪水。电影以奔跑开始又以奔跑结束，非常浪漫的的互文
50年了，真不容易啊，希望能继续出佳作，此生无悔入坑假面骑士！
