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".
场面极度邪典，甚至开始反思的正义性～
所有小鸡电影桥段生拉到一起，情感逻辑都有点不通，为发糖而发糖。现在小鸡电影剧本都这么不走心吗？
还不错的恐怖片。剧情老套，但结尾台词亮了。
驱魔片一般都比较闷，因为就两招，问名字和念圣经，一顿大喊大叫，有时候好使有时候不好使，也没逻辑解释为啥好使为啥不好使，这部有一点创新，就是恶魔反过来对神父驱逐上帝，但也仅此而已，6.2
噩梦连番惊坐起，似曾相识鬼又来。
可能我不懂基督教，所以我看不出来哪里恐怖？
一句话概括完剧情：这是个不听绑匪的就撕票的故事。
观感是彷佛正值数九隆冬，我坐在壁炉边烤了100分钟火
前面还可以，后面有点无聊。
其实镜头语言的叙事不太理想，没啥出彩点，但背后的驱魔新颖点挺错愕的，最后几分钟让人醍醐灌顶感。所以所谓代表上帝的梵蒂冈究竟是披着羊皮的狼吗？恶魔已经接管人间？所谓驱魔实际就是反向驱魔。不过随便想想，也许这样能解释这世界有时让人错愕的魔幻和邪恶
本来就很犹豫看不看驱魔的 这部看完后又对驱魔片的反感加了浓墨重彩的一笔…有一定的新意 都在后面 前面充斥各种老套的喊叫 就感觉谁的声音大谁就能干过对方一样 这个神父也真是弱的可以 …对于国外邪教的 驱魔的我好像一直没对胃口 这部耶稣与恶魔的错综复杂我没太懂 也懒得懂了
对驱魔电影无抵抗力 片中鬼一惊一乍的倒是有点看疲惫了。
这个狗导演，每个吓人的点全是用的jump scared，每次都要看的一惊一乍，不会吓人就不要拍恐怖片好了，真的想骂脏话
与写得有些糟糕的书改编还是有好一点，主角也是chemistry越来越强，cheesy but acceptable，lucy演得还不错，演员微表情很赞，这么cheesy的题材能演好也是不容易。摄影&色彩呈现加分。
不功不过的浪漫爱情喜剧片，两个看起来相互憎恨彼此的男女主，结果早就对对方芳心暗许，老套的剧情，可我就是喜欢这么别扭又口是心非的哈哈。两个人剧情进展太奇怪了，感觉中间有些不必要的波折，比如女主误会男主在骗他，而面对两人共同的竞争，男主另谋高就直接退出的处理方式也让我不太喜欢，看起来就像拱手相让一样，并不尊重女主的做法。电影好在两个人的化学反应真的很好，恨的时候有恨的那股劲，爱的时候也欲罢不能，好评。
7.2
魔鬼给上帝驱魔…反常规的设定还不错，但是还是找了速看，因为恐怖点太低级
看片名就知道会是一部俗套的爱情片，毫无意外，但女主的人设还挺有趣的，幽默主动好强，其他没什么新意。ps：我要是有一个长这样的男同事，怕是第一天就沦陷了吧～～～
2022.2.2的22点开始看的，太合适了，哈哈哈哈
男主演技代入感不强，女主🉑。我也想看一看正面有多让人惊叹，咳咳……
