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".
兰博第三集重现
升级版的营救题材。枪战集中，女一太弱，场面不好，集中在岛上，没有大场面，海上戏都没有，像个CS。索马里行动可以借鉴。缉毒类的营救也可以借鉴。
本以为是一局政治阴谋，不曾想等来了一部真人CS（类似现在的年轻人更喜欢吃鸡） ，枪战部分非常赞，尤其几个一镜到底代入感非常强。
美国战狼，事实上不可能坚持这么久的，最后居然还赢了。
一镜到底的动作让人感觉就是真实，但源源不断的敌人便当太随意了，战斗素质都没有。
扔手榴弹都能团灭的距离，
法国雇佣大军披阿拉大旗占领山寨关塔那摩，囚徒分枪，报名处刑，人肉炸弹育成教程；阿金四人小队百人斩突围保护要犯，手雷RPG刀枪互补潜入搏击；（伪）一镜到底的低成本动作设计精神可嘉，洗白虐囚的意识形态极其错误；阿金一直跟这位红脖导演合作B级动作片，估计也是彻底放弃好莱坞主流市场了
一镜到底尤其在场面戏里更加具有真实感，道具反应点设置和渲染还是过于简单，主要的看点混战场面有点太干净了
缺点就是整部电影都是突突，刚开始还好，看点就有点厌倦了，如果多点近战就好了！
为这牛逼的一镜到底给第四颗星。另外他们的这卡车是五菱么，装这么多人？
伪一镜到底挺过瘾的，就是反派人数太多了点，一辆卡车可能下来了一百来号。
最后那个筹码到底是不是个谎言，无从得知，这个结尾还真挺不错~~斯科特·阿金斯身手了得。
喝高了之后，就感觉自己，真的想跟狼叔一样，indulged in reminiscence。
小成本电影阿金斯这次没演烂片，导演采用谍影重重的拍摄方式晃晃的镜头让你有实地参与的感觉。一个team全灭阿金斯主角光环😇活下来了……战斗异常激烈艰苦，一如既往老美造的孽下面干活的小兵倒血霉。
科幻的外衣，爱情的内里，除此之外，哪里有惊天迷局？我看到男主发现女主救了小孩之后就弃了。
在一部电影里穿插几分钟长度的长镜头动作戏，可以营造真实的代入感，但最终仍需要以主线剧情来维持观影动力。而对于一部本就弱情节的纯动作片来说，一镜到底会显得部分情节格外冗长，脱离开好的剪辑呈现的速度感和力量感，动作戏——尤其是打戏时的“假”就会被无限放大。尝试是好的，同时能进行正反双方的镜头切换也很不错（虽然有些场景无法避免的出现逻辑性穿帮），但是最终结果确实一般。
上一部看一镜到底的电影还是1917，当然是没法比的，不过还行，可以看看。
手持摄影晃得我头晕，剧情也就一般，一镜到底的拍摄技巧比较独特。
这样的末日科幻背景加悬疑侦探题材结果是为了突出玫瑰花的爱情。看完总觉得有点不太得劲了。
战斗场面蛮假的，电影好像也没看完，印象不清了，肯定看过一部分，但结局是怎样不记得了，如此看来，不能算是一部令人印象深刻的电影
