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".

按正常理解，2-3星，很失望；按我的另类理解，5星神作。我的长影评近日贴出。
脑子里还是一遍又一遍的在滚那几个颇为疯狂画面
哈哈哈哈，阴阳怪气唧唧歪歪。你以为故事讲完了，但是华纳穷得要闹脾气呢，不拍人家可要解约啦哈哈哈哈哈哈哈，沃卓斯基真可怜兮兮。剧情直接放弃靠回忆杀拉老粉，后半截就是无脑打打打，间或插播吐槽老板广而告之。矩阵世界也逃不过鹊桥相会的老泪纵横，怎么感觉还能再水一部
這部電影能存在的條件大概就是當年選角成功而如今基奴哥跟摩斯姐都依然迷人吧,概念大致都是舊的但也還是挺好玩從以前的幾個點繼續講故事, 除了懷舊再加上Sense8演員們一起來也是看得很開心, 而且一種因為前三集沒真正說完很怕被重啟瞎搞的感覺, 自己弄個4斷此後路!(btw後面沒了動作戲倒是變得奈沙馬蘭了怎麼會這樣)
华纳公开自嘲，估计也知道重启捞不着好，让尼奥复活，等于就是把前面的故事又整一遍，不过熟悉的墨菲斯、史密斯都变了样，能帅能打的尼奥胡子拉碴，朝气全无，像是从强威克的片场直接过来的，双掌一出，大招即来，集体怀个旧，真不如拍猫。
一部残忍到亲手撕破三部曲所编织的的希望的续作，将现实的困境赤裸裸直观展现到镜头面前，其中不乏打破第四面墙的导演吐槽，竟在某种程度上奇妙地契合了矩阵的框架，许多地方也表达了在这20年间导演不断变化的思想，在反映当今的同时又扩展了主题。但到了执行层面，却又显得畏手畏脚，既想突破三部曲的内核，又固守三部曲的辉煌，于是就丧失了三部曲的内敛与逼格，最终只有借助演员与时间的力量，将情感与高潮定格在他们的重逢与衰老的容貌上，在导演完全自知却无力回天的情况下，把续作变为了一部包裹在黑客帝国外壳下的导演自我致敬前作的好莱坞流水线式动作片。
黑客帝国终于也成了爆米花电影，究其原因是因为黑客帝国就不应该有第4部，故事在前三部就也完结。
要不是Trinity还辣真实0分了，这个网飞矩阵可以重启下认真做做吗
华纳，搞垮我DC，搞垮我黑客帝国，不让我德普演格林德沃
解构的段落太长了，十分消耗耐心。为什么大导演们都喜欢跟观众剖析自己啊，咱可以把这个留纪录片里么（此处@庵野老贼）？不过对老粉来说还是值得一看，BE多年的赛博世界意难平妈的居然HE了，这他妈真的值得平安夜开冰酒庆祝。Trinity永远我女神，私心以为这是基努最适合的银幕情侣，脆弱男子就需要坚韧且散发着母性光辉的另一半拯救啊
如果全片都只是困在meta设定那段里的话会好很多 后面都只是无聊重复罢了 还有现在这样的镜头把控和调度设计 拉娜是彻底放弃划水了 还是说没了莉莉水平彻底不行了？
前三部没磕的cp这次磕到了。黑客帝国粉丝太挑了，要是终结者创世纪、黑暗命运能有这水平，早就上8分了。Bugs的演员颇有颜丙燕的神韵。
作为部粉丝向电影，满足了。除了neo全程显得都非常没有存在感没有自我意识，但老朋友都有回来啊，也都有发展啊，关键Trinity起来了啊！
这片确实垮了，一开始我都感觉是在看美剧，缺点实在是能列十条。估计很多人吐槽很多了。但还是给3星，因为至少我看到第四部又在前三部的基础上往前走了一步，我是指科幻方面。因为前三部真是顶级科幻，非常有科幻思维。再往后续确实是非常非常难，所以哪怕我看到了一点可贵的延续和进步，我就觉得不错了。现在绝大多数科幻片，我都看不上眼，真的几乎毫无科幻思维，都是披着科幻外衣的动作片、特效片、悬疑片。当然，这部和以前也是没法比的，只能说看到一点点，稍微满足黑客帝国影迷的希望而已。
当我看到它开始频繁引用前作镜头我就知道这片完蛋了。仿佛看了两个半小时snl，就是我知道你的在讽刺什么，你知道我知道你在讽刺什么，我也知道你知道我知道你在讽刺什么，但除了短暂地逗乐儿，这样做的必要性和有效性在哪里？还是那句话，主人的武器不能用来捣毁主人的房子。又及，向沃卓斯基倾情推荐 Asian Future Without Asians 系列讲座——2021年了，就算主角之一有亚裔血统也不能消解掉日本丧尸新干线和水上亭台练功房的 cringiness。
对经典三部曲的自我吐槽和拙劣模仿。来了不少sense8的演员，发扬了sense8里各种族大连结大汇合的风格。如果三部曲确实讲了资本主义对人的剥削，那么这次就是在放飞自我中尝试翻新花样。结局不错，老两口双宿双飞。
时隔那么久出来的续集，看得出来沃卓斯基对片方和创作还是有很多戏谑的不满情绪在（尤其是最后的片尾彩蛋），剧情本身可能唯一的不足就是缺少升级吧
