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".
geschwester Scholz Platz和Odeonsplatz😭
打斗奇观完全不如预期。不过这是个爱情片，嗯嗯，你们一定有一起睡了是吧
见过不要脸的，没见过英国这样不要脸的。
印度一贯的迷之自信，确实又一个造神的，看到party上两个大叔跳舞能跳几分钟，像抽筋一样，还自己觉得自己帅出天际，鸡皮疙瘩掉了一地，看不下去了
本片可谓是两兄弟为了拯救人民从陌生到一起的冰与火之歌。只有印度的歌舞才能给人独特的感染力，它能通过歌舞的形式继续推进剧情。而且歌舞很美很动人不是吗。
我们不能选择所处的时代，我们只能选择如何回应。
一、让你在战争与耻辱之间作一抉择，你选择了耻辱，而你将来还得进行战争
不管怎么说，娱乐性是十足的，两位男主之前的友谊也做出来了，观赏性比较强。
阿三大电影就这样，娱乐一下还是可以的，至少能让你坚持把它看完！
7.最后面这个毗湿奴（看前面的评论是罗摩，搞不明白，印度神太多了）有点骚啊！还有那军装上，赤裸裸的嘲讽，笑死了！
罗摩神话的现代演绎,罗摩、比姆之名已昭然若揭。打斗精彩，抗英神话。断头台的场面有《勇敢的心》的感觉，兄弟二人救来救去，穿插的故事也非常流畅。
英国人竟然胆敢找印度人斗舞这一无知举动就奠定了本片的超现实基调。阿兰和毕姆两人竟然还有史诗角色歌，秒回《摩诃婆罗多》，片尾舞蹈可以照搬上春晚。印度人想象力一直可以的。
在这样的话面前，我不想说张伯伦和绥靖政策
不要有希望，因为希望是需要靠别人来实现的……拍的太戏剧化了，设置的压迫感还不够……
年度第一神片，这辈子还没看过这么奇葩的电影，妥妥的印度版战狼，据说已经排到影史前五的欢迎程度，即便所有设置都完全不合理，甚至浮夸到极致，但是三个小时就是能让你看的血脉喷张，中场休息时和仅有的几个法国观众面面相觑，大家都被印度人的强大自恋尬到了
补充了张伯伦的形象，绅士企图用一根线栓住凶徒的手，最后凶徒挣脱了线证明了自己的凶残，绅士用丢脸的代价让世界看清了凶徒的真面目。
最大败笔是大桥救小孩。火车在大桥失事困住小孩，比行星撞地球几率还低。明明一个人缠根绳子掉下去就能救，非要搞那么大阵仗，两个人又是摩托车又是马，太炫技。最妙处是丛林中 Raju 化身战神，这是印度人的浪漫主义，我非常能理解，神来之笔！如果没有这个变身，比 巴霍巴利 差太多，就这个战神拉回许多。
印度大爽片。整体看下来，我觉得倒更像是表现兄弟情的主旨，推翻入侵者统治只是复线任务。他想为部落带回小女孩，我抛弃大业帮你完成。你想为村庄带回枪支，我不顾性命帮你实现。
英国人就是这样的厚颜无耻，一个墩克尔克大溃败能让他们拍成常凯申式的战略“转进”，一个对希特勒无限让步出卖捷克利益的慕尼黑协定居然被它说为和平争取了时间，为最终战胜纳粹德国做好了准备。可事实是什么？要不是希特勒脑袋抽筋儿去进攻苏联，要不是美国看到有利可图重演一战的“参战”剧情，英国人早就跟法国人一起学习德语了。
又都想说服对方
