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".
用电子游戏的噱头来掩盖孱弱剧情。大体还比较爽。
故事的完成度还是很高的。尤其是之前刚在晋江看了一篇小说《NPC能有什么坏心眼呢？》，就特别有种晋江文奔现的感觉。另外，这个电影是在给“元宇宙”做宣传的吧。想想十年后美帝的孩子们都到元宇宙里去了，我们这边的孩子在练广播体操和眼保健操。
乘兴而来，败兴而归，虽然不想这么说，但这作的确有些狗尾续貂。 除了部分依然给力的打斗场面，其余部分，无论从反派压迫度、影片节奏气韵、警队成员有趣互动、黑帮野蛮生态侧写、自然笑点插入等等环节，相比第一部，均是全面倒退。 当然，也可能是第一部太过浑然天成，导致第二部似乎想照猫画虎，但又想有些新突破，结果画虎不成，突破也聊胜于无。 综合种种，续作观感实在称不上令人满意。
honestly觉得ryan reynolds有点too much，女主没有小变态滤镜的话就有点看不下去。看完了心里毫无波澜…
终于终于今年在电影院看了一部好看的电影！很开心！尤其可以买爆米花进去就更开心了！
这反派太凶残了，虽然不喜欢他但是演员身材是真的好，演技也好，真踏马坏！！！！
没第一部好看。韩国电影的黑色幽默挺有意思。
无敌破坏王+头号玩家+楚门的世界 编写在游戏里的告白这种程序员专属爱情仪式感无论用多少次依旧可以被感动 在仙境游戏里做一个跟好兄弟一起每天无忧也无虑快乐的npc还真挺不错 中途感觉自己在看迪士尼 甜心RR 朱迪还是金发好看 美队一秒钟片酬多少钱 查宁塔图姆是真的帅【万象影城二十四城店
韭菜拒绝任人摆布，觉醒做起自由公民。比想象中好太多了，8.0
honestly觉得ryan reynolds有点too much，女主没有小变态滤镜的话就有点看不下去。看完了心里毫无波澜…
导、演、制三方都在不同程度地拖后腿，但文本是真心强，直接被老黑基友的“遗言”击溃：我们的命也是命。这句话将种族问题的里子，透过阶级问题的壳子吼了出来，振聋发聩鞭辟入里。正因如此，本片其实在思想性上走到了《头号玩家》的前面，斯皮尔伯格多少还有些“我玩玩你们年轻人爱玩的东西”的顽童劲儿，而《失控玩家》则更像是网络一代面向全球性阶级固化的嘶吼，躺平中带着些许不甘，尤其当国内宣布限制青少年接触网游后，将它衬得格外讽刺。
当“头号玩家”遇见“西部世界”，建立在NPC自主意识上的VR爆米花。可惜精神内核没能上升到楚门秀的高度，男女程序员谈恋爱最是要命。嗯，我承认我就是馋瑞恩·雷诺兹的身子...（不要Dude，给我Guy！）
dude口头禅 catchphrase 黑人朋友确实乐呵 22岁家里蹲 还有好多游戏直播博主
绝对力量的绝对臣服。原来孙锡久瞪眼的话眼睛也不小…
《挑戰者一號》之後，彩蛋電影其實很難有突破。這未必是絕對，但肯定要一些時間。
一部爽片，看见了楚门的世界+西部世界+你好世界+黑镜~NPC的自我意识觉醒，其实很多电影里都有类似情节，这里处理的温柔又可爱~
感觉大家情绪最高点和笑点编排最意外有效处都在复联那段
往大铁球上跳的时候，BGM一响，真的戳我笑点了。
倘若，这些制作者确实是fake，那么，这部电影作为路易波拿巴式的历史笑剧还是可以成为“Great Again”的里程碑的。（让说着一口不流利的普通话的“中国人”，在又挤又乱的环境中仍向往极具普世精神的“美国人工智能英雄”，这是慈悲的新自由主义帝国主义美国梦赏赐！资产阶级幻想的缝合！）
盖和巴迪是好基友，真爱在身边，NPC也有春天，GTA玩家可能会鸡冻尿，太多熟悉的时刻，结局原本以为像《创战纪》一样，实现虚拟角色的实体在线和女主谈恋爱，不过这样也很好，放置类游戏适合大家放松心情，世界已经足够混乱，游戏就该像直播一样， 参与其中就可以，而不是要一味追求性血腥暴力吗，至于翻译成XX玩家，可以理解为蹭一波《头号玩家》，但free翻译成失控，唯有关内，独此一家。
