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".
无情地碾压过一个又一个追求渺小而具体的幸福的人
剑心最悲伤故事。这部从前几作的15+变成18+，打斗少了，但是文戏部分差点看哭😢
质感上佳，剧情和OVA基本一致，但砍掉了OVA经典的开头和结尾。配乐不可，和OVA一比简直云泥之别。
啊啊啊啊啊完结了呜呜呜呜呜！！！！好一个有始有终啊啊啊啊啊！！
若是真爱，目之所及，自当闪闪发光。
春观夜樱，夏望繁星，秋赏满月，冬会初雪，哪有酒不好喝，哪有刀疤好不了。
动作戏可能是这系列里面最少的一部，但是看下来的观感却比《人诛篇》要好一些，与以往借由剑心这个主人公来串起无数炫酷的打戏场面的叙事方式不同，这一部着重聚焦剑心这个人物本身复杂的矛盾和挣扎，单单以全篇哀伤的风格，就不太能以简单的“漫改电影”来概括这部片子。
嘤嘤嘤好棒啊啊啊啊啊剑薰党献上10分呜呜呜（唯一的遗憾是阿巴的发型有点过分了明明可以更清爽的
追忆篇本身的文本质量太高，只要不作死，真人电影版就不会太差。看到海女出身的村花说出“你能带来腥风血雨吗”，真是各种时光交错。再一次证明动画剧场版配乐是媲美攻壳95的绝世经典，看到村花和佐藤健归隐山田，耳旁还是自动响起钢琴版和弦乐版的quiet life。真人电影版配乐和动画剧场版配乐的差距就好比普通球员vs梅西。
破站周末直播。有点磨叽。弹幕一直有人刷女主演员其实脸大真影响观感。虽然我觉得妹子挺美，但确实是可爱型的，不知还有什么更好的人选。
史上最强漫改电影终于完结，砂糖的绯村剑心是唯一神形合一的真人漫画角色，有村架纯的雪代巴却有些货不对板，真人版也去掉了比古清十郎的戏份。想来这可能应该是整个系列的第一部，可惜他直到最后才出现，所以把这部当成序章还是结局其实都没问题了。
童年追憶，我當年為什麼不存劍心同人啊！！！痛心疾首。
杀手的感情生活。PS：女主木讷的像个机器人。
漫改巅峰，美学角色贴合度气氛虐恋度各方面都没得可挑了，把我整哭了😭
水准又回来了，不，是大大超过预期。砂糖一如既往地帅，村花演绎的情感细腻，高桥很适合桂这种复杂性的人物。
其实作为漫改已经很好了，但千不该万不该，它不该让我在想打五星的情况下点进原作，所以我要怒扣一颗！
今年看过最唯美的爱情片，画面绝美，张弛有度的节奏把握得很好，打斗部分利落畅快，缓慢抒情的部分也一点不觉得拖沓，情感层层递进水到渠成在无声中一起努力守护乱世中平淡而脆弱的幸福。终于看到一个主动去爱人的剑心，看到了剑心的温柔。最后巴在剑心脸上刻下刀痕的一幕感人至深，“就算你手中有刀，我也不会伤害你，我唯一不会伤害的人就是你”
追憶篇是我心中的白月光，拍成這樣算可以的了。但一直在想闇乃武森林的三道結界要怎麼表現才夠，結果，果然一點都不出彩，隨便湊兩個炮灰就結束了，我甚至沒有認出北村一輝，噗
口刀反杀全屋灭门，临终前的萤火虫，林海雪原机关陷阱五感剥夺，抱歉夫君手刃留痕；厮杀双方说着一样的话：杀很多的人，是为了救更多的人——武士道真是与右翼军国主义不分家。也许让动漫电影达到《切腹》的深度很不现实？两部最终章感觉都是开场即高潮，后面一堆煽情文戏慢镜回放啥的，就连本来不错的动作戏也跟着无味起来；但在雪代巴日记一段还是被不中用地打动到了，毕竟距离当时看到的漫画结局，也二十多年过去了……
还记得前面几部看得热血沸腾，一直期待还有续集。这也算是期待很久的电影，没想到全程耍酷，男女都一样，看起来根本就格格不入。
