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".
依然是卡司阵容大于一切的作品，麻生久美子好赞！！！
可以说是集齐了所有日本电影里面不喜欢的元素
感觉比前作好点但也没好很多，可能观影的主要目的就是木村拓哉和长泽雅美吧。
看过书，只记得手表有玄机，别的忘得干干净净，还跟第一部记混了。这样看起来反而轻松一点。最不明白的是这部的镜头风格，非常怪异。小日向文世真可爱呀！
还蛮喜欢这种看似平淡但细细发现会有很多小细节的片，关键这次的卡司也未免太豪华了，麻生久美子、山东嫂还有麻酱永远不会让人失望
就爱看老汉推磨般的探戈，在不拉脸皮就快掉到胸口了。
真勇啊，一打八，内卷严重。影院不上让人很无语
也许因为看到恶评有心里准备了，意外觉得还挺好看的？要在2小时里讲十个人物数千万年的历史，其实挺不容易的。也没觉得人物平面，群像做的还是不错的，这些神一般的角色也很人性化，多元化。总之是个爱与家人的故事。
活整的太烂了，下次别整了。不知道为什么上一部还很来电的长泽雅美和木村拓哉，这一部却很不来电…酒店管理整的像抖m人群聚会一样，可能这就是日本的酒店文化吧…
He’s hot and he knows well of it..
大神依旧帅气。大神和麻酱的cp感不如大神和麻生。我也很想体验一把电影中的酒店服务。但是最好不要碰到警方行动。
好吧，我承认看不懂剧情，太复杂了，太多线了。而且，这个是系列片吗？我怎么觉得头尾都不着调啊。
虽然悬疑诡计设计一般，但是实在对人物和故事发生背景建立了一定感情，三星又打不出来。讲真，长泽雅美真的是日本宝藏级的女演员，不是说她演技或者长相有多么出众，而是她真的就是如此让人难以忘记，我没有很喜欢她，但她就是给我一种没人可以替代的感觉，当然木村拓哉就不说了，同理。除去长泽大妈，其他几位女性老戏骨，救个大命，出场即保障氛围感。可恶，日本怎么这么多氛围感美女。
但麻酱还是显老了啊
女武神流畅过瘾的打戏是我觉得近几年漫威的电影里最出色的近战戏。冷兵器的挥舞既饱含打击感，又不失女性的优雅魅力。上次在漫威电影里遇到让我重看好几次的打戏还是《雷神3》的海拉
作为一部商业片，摄影和美术很高级，部分剧情设计精巧，但更多的是硬设定。在密室杀人的高概念下，人物手脚被束缚住了，很多情节逻辑不通，我无法相信。
凶手的反转挺好的，但其他都很套路。最后有点好玩，但没有CP感，没 有 C P 感 ！
喜欢酒店场景因为出场人物一般都非常丰富，但电影却把每一个人都写得这么呆板，完全浪费了这么豪华的卡司
最不舒服的是男性客人让女主帮忙约另一位女性客人单独见面，女主竟然答应了……不管酒店工作人员后续安排的有多妥当，但入住你家酒店，享受私人空间的时候，真的不需要酒店自以为是给客人安排和陌生人的见面，而且到底有没有考虑过女客人本身的意愿和客人的安全问题？我只能翻白眼。除此之外的话，电影剧本本身依旧比较寡淡无味，悬疑推理案件无聊没意思就是不及格。
这个和前作的重点难道不是鱼叔吗？【手动狗头
