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".
我心目中最好的一篇。村花是最好的女主，不接受反驳。
对比来看人诛篇自动减一星。杀手的信条，内心的变化让剑心从未有过的丰满。但依旧有系列作品单篇其他角色扁平的通病。相比前半部分的单调，后半程非常吸引人，美术和动作都意境十足。相隔十年漫画脸还是如此还原，3+1星的情结分，这下传说真的完结了。
心中的真实评分是3星，多1星给系列的终结剧情闭环，还1星给他勾起我的关于青春期时看追忆篇的感动。
漫改选角很难不尬，日本很难不中二，此片两点都解决了，且做得很好。难得。
4.5星，比第一部好太多，电影呈现的是绝美的悲剧，看了非常动容。巴和剑心是菊与刀的完美呈现：一静一动、一文一武、佛心与杀心、优美与血腥。巴是剑心的救赎者，剑心让巴感受到了尊重和人性之善。值得深思的问题：为了一个正义的目标可以除去挡路之人吗？
系列终点更是起点。感情从克制到最后的爆发。突然更心疼起第一部那个身材瘦削，手握逆刃的浪客。 2021.7.31凌晨
虽然整体有点拖了(到底多少幕有人数出来了吗？)但是还是要全员尤其滚导加鸡腿，漫威多年前的作妖给了DC cashed in一点喘息空间，bravo
最后一部并没有太多的打戏，结局衔接到了第一部开始，算是把他的人生的前因后果都交待清楚了，给加个星吧
绯村剑心出生于幕末时代的日本，原名绯村心太。参加了桂小五郎、高杉晋作等长州藩维新志士的“奇兵队”募集，因剑术出众而被桂小五郎任命为专门暗杀幕府要员的刽子手。
看不下去，這什麼面癱操作？是窩對劇情有什麼誤解嗎。。。
对日本倒幕时期的历史了解主要来自于银魂，所以背景看得不是太明白…好在电影主要讲的是主角的爱情故事，出道时的剑心砍人真暴力。
没看完。说实话，不太懂这样的电影存在的意义。像marvel一样的情怀？没有。格调？没有。剧情？Lame as usual, 看了开头就知道结尾。自杀小队1我认为还是有看点的，小丑女和丑男。2是真的....看不下去，会觉得是浪费时间。
看过《夺命剑》《大菩萨岭》们再看这些热血漫真人版，真是既不热血也没有真实感。虽然苛刻了点，但人家10分，你6分就知足吧。
算是方方面面都照顾到了，就挺扯的（褒义），角色众多但用“自沙式”端平了剧情和主次角色，纯M18挺过瘾的，光怪陆离的人物确实很适合滚导尽情发挥。
手松四星。作为一个无原作基础单纯喜爱真人系列前三部电影的观众，the beginning于我而言是失望的。大友文戏实在是不行。追忆基调是沉重，但不意味着可以拍得无味；主要人物性格是大开大合，但不代表着可以没有转变细节。我一直觉得剑心能成为漫改真人的天花板，不仅是人物还原打戏牛逼，更重要是体现了时代变革和武士精神，完全拔高了普通漫改的立意。但追忆篇即使多次特意地点到xx时期xx之战我都没有对时代变革的共情，只觉得是个本是凄美却刻意冰冷的爱情故事。我不知道是不是原作确实就只是在讲一个爱情故事，但我对这个系列的期待远不止这些。以及也不知是不是大友的要求，佐藤大神这次的配乐也无甚亮点，即使到剧情比较激烈的时候也没有什么像样的旋律出来。最后也是最遗憾的，tkr和村花真的没有cp感😥 @SFC新衡山
为了和平，杀死再多的人我也义不容辞，包括妇女和儿童！
剑心总是碰到一些奇形怪状的对手；雪代巴简直完美。
看了三分之二看不下去了，美术武术造景方面有值得称道之处，但剧情可以说是稀烂了，像个四不像，什么都带一笔什么也没说明白，没看过原作的人会很懵比，但看了原作的又会觉得原作才是永远的神，这评分我属实没明白，是佐藤健的美色分吗
小时候，觉得雪代巴是妨碍熏和剑心在一起的障碍。长大后再看，巴真的太苦了
Harley Quinn! And more is Margot Robbie!!! 花瓣血那一場戲整場最佳，沒有搶戲但出彩十分，造型絕了。也許看點太密導致到後段有點疲勞，太用力了，但starfish這個idea也是很棒。有愛。
