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".
不至于三星也没到四星，卡在中间吧？感觉挺好的，前面有点无聊
剧情单薄，画面略恶心...就我现在有点皮包骨恐惧症
这个妈真的好窒息

20XX年X月X日第X次XG病毒溯源调查报告结论：实验室位于人口稠密区商厦高层，缺乏隔离措施。研究人员长期暴露在带毒动物环境中，无任何防护措施接触带毒标本、实验体和血液制品，实验后未经消毒即出室救治病例。安保极其松懈，当局封锁后仍能违规进入盗取样本、血液制品和物品，抹除实验纪录。未经任何伦理和合规审查，擅自进行人类动物基因混合实验和人体测试，导致动物病毒交叉感染人类并持续变异。实验室资金来源不明，据称赞助人因与实验相关的血液疾病病亡。种种迹象表明实验室存在严重问题导致病毒泄漏。建议立刻关闭实验室，封存所有样本和纪录作进一步调查。
男主还是有光环的，剧情需要定不会让他轻易挂掉。看着男主一点点转变上位，也看到他经历了感情的春天和严冬，还丧失了个好儿子。帮派间，都是利益冲突，人心的欲望催动着一切。
說真的筆記一下，猶豫的一方會輸，重情義也會輸
6.5 一般般，就是感觉差了点什么。压和爆都不够。
We Finnish people just occasionally hatch things
漫威的片，口碑好or口碑差，在观感上的区别真不大。 男二一直偷窥女主，还以为要走狗血爱情的戏码，结果在女主挂之后，男二对男主说，只剩下我们俩了……
“你以为我会做这种龌龊的事情吗？”
一部母亲亲手把女儿变成恶的片子 全片感觉好压抑
一部母亲亲手把女儿变成恶的片子 全片感觉好压抑
可能看下来略显平淡 但是很多争斗是真的看不到硝烟跟血腥 正如男主女票说的 他的大半生一直都太“单纯”了
乍看一眼本片资源的介绍：稳坐韩国2022电影票房宝座的黑帮电影，心想：这能不看？同时在某种层面又将这部影片与之前看过的韩国影片——《新世界》作比较，后者类似无间道，且有李政宰+崔岷植+黄政民+宋智孝的加持，看完本片，发现还是高估了这部名为《热血》的片子，想要的是十年饮冰难凉热血的那种燃，然而本片喝完热水都燃不起来，讲述了九庵这个地方，有句话重复了两次，就是九庵这个地方虽小，但是想吞下它也得见血。而本片其实就是在展示这见血的过程。郑宇饰演的混混一开始也没有多大的野心，但是被逼着进了这个局。直到那认他做儿子的人死去，彻底的爆发了，所以说不要轻易摧毁一个男人想守护的东西。因为那代价，或许你难以想象。有别于港产黑帮其中一种的《古惑仔》，本片描述的韩国黑帮并没展现所谓的兄弟情。
千万不要欺负老实人，否则后果很严重。但这个世界的游戏规则就是欺负老实人，所以要想把压在身上的规则去掉，一定要和命运抗争到底。
咋说呢，虽然看了不到一半，就猜到后面的剧情发展，但是设定我还是喜欢的，但是本片中的人物动机，行事作风就很奇怪，莫名其妙的，智商也属实不在线。
就没见过那个黑帮，像男主这样，动不动就双眼湿润……用力过猛
比较典型的韩国黑帮电影，背叛、出卖、阴谋，在近段时间的韩国黑帮电影里算是出类拔萃了，但一直都有《新世界》这样的经典在前，所以想超越挺难的，剪辑略微有点凌乱，但好在这类电影套路都差不多，所以自己脑补也能串联起来。三星半吧。
