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".
我靠……这亚裔选角怎么了……kitty又是怎么回事……梁朝伟和陈法拉的基因都哭了……
梁朝伟扮演的父亲，是个活了上千年的大佬，武力超群、权势滔天。某日，大佬出门买个菜妻子被杀，父亲训练儿子去杀仇家，儿子功成下了杀手以后觉得父亲残忍至极，所以跑去美国当酒店门童了……撇去逻辑硬伤，就还挺好看的「摊手」。6.5。
片尾曲一出来freddy说哦我还以为会是hotel california，然后就真的出现了。OR————
梁朝伟yyds，气场稳得一批，黑道老大的设定爱了爱了。女主也很可爱～还有龙龙大战，不亏。村子潘达利亚+1
拳脚功夫的武术指导+特效该加鸡腿
梁朝伟的演技在这里简直高射炮打蚊子。最难的点竟然是如何接受这个无脑的剧情，并有代入感地和其他壳子人物去演好一个壳子。
公交车打斗段落让我想起生死时速，摩托车追车段落像极了疾速追杀，古代冷兵器，现代跑车，地下格斗，凤凰，龙，太极，射箭，各种元素大杂烩乱炖，看得我直来气！
真好看。。。留下了汉奸的泪水。 除了无法理解为什么梁朝伟和陈法拉能生出刘思慕以后刘还能被别人摸着脸说：“你真像你妈妈”，以及后半程梁朝伟像个智商归零的碇司令以外，就挑不出什么槽点了。 改掉了所谓乳化要素，尚气也不是一个因为西方影响而对自己血脉开刀的人，结尾串场到神奇动物在哪里。 骑着东方龙打一个克系怪物，还有比这更过瘾的事吗？
好看！很喜欢！剧情很土，但窝就爱看他们一家人演这种土剧！
其实挺可怜的，漫威想要开拓创新，摔了个大跟头，安慰安慰多给一颗星。
真的很喜欢这位家人，和妹妹一起看后她很开心
5/10 梁朝伟还是有味道，小姨说男主真像他妈时绷不住了了呀😅
看了前12分钟就想弃，忍着忍着就被长着路人模样的男女主所吸引，尤其女主的嗓音，太有魅力了。大概熟悉的面孔和中文组合，让这部电影成为最不漫威的漫威电影，幸好彩蛋里有绿巨人神奇队长，否则太出戏了。另：这个故事太牵强。配乐还不错。心中的梁朝伟竟然长成了安圣基…还是陈法拉好看。
先说说片外争议：第一，漫威在19年圣迭戈漫展上打了字幕，黑底白字写着“梁朝伟：满大人”，这是错误；第二，电影中角色叫“文武”，也没有弑父情节，不管是出于政治正确还是商业考量，论迹不论心，可以算有所改正，尽管力度还不够；第三，也许男女主的选择体现了对亚洲人的审美偏见，但这俩演员都是有演技的好演员，也没什么错误言论。关于本片：第一，前面功夫片部分其实相当不错，后面变成怪兽片就离谱，我没想到漫威最牛逼的功夫来自网飞《夜魔侠》。第二，文化方面，美国人yy的那种中华田园，虽然奇葩倒也不算冒犯，就像美国中餐厅得做左宗棠鸡。
渣枪版不好打分，大片观感靠视听嘛。最后怪物大战镜头和动作挺精彩，若视效能比《哥斯拉2》我观感应该超4否则最多3.5。极中规中矩，编剧完全没加过班似的：这个场景是干嘛的就是干嘛的，一点什么交叉叙事横生枝节都不会有。好比最后父子局，就父子局，当爹的一点“把儿子挥开、自己去凿一下墙”的心思都没有，那我请问你来黑暗之门干嘛来了，就为了打儿子？你不是来救老婆的吗？各位功夫片迷还记得《功夫》里你打我我打钟、打成喇叭给你送终的桥段吗。不过漫威啊超雄啊也就这德行了。PC还未充分惠及亚裔，主流未深刻反思过亚裔刻板印象，加上些小原因，本属好心的片子反汇集了刻板印象：黑帮赌场眯眯眼会功夫，只有外男亚女（大家习惯了，外女亚男反而突兀，可能是这种求稳的考虑？）祭祖卡拉OK身份迷茫非属刻板印象。选角专挑那种长相，我神服
挺好看的啊，一切都在水准之上的设计！但坦白来讲哈，看惯了无论是大银幕还是小荧屏亚洲面孔过于美颜的操作，这么直白的毛孔和皱纹让我适应了好一阵子，终于看到真实的人了～

我吃的盐比你吃的饭还多，最后的双彩蛋非常nice
非常好，展示出了只有动画才有的无限表达力。
大量华人演员、中文对白、（不令人尴尬的）中国元素，中国人看着真舒服、亲切。还有就是梁朝伟也太帅了吧（主要还是演技牛），派头盖过主角了。
