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".
完成度很高的文艺悬疑电影，让人惊喜。严华顶替了自己仰慕的县城首席芭蕾舞演员林音，并帮她复仇，杀死了凶手，这是真相。另一个舞蹈演员的叙述是带有误导的，她从来没上场，指的是她上场是作为林音。
本来时隔好久已经把孤狼1的内容忘掉了。结果重回开一看感觉又有那味了。
电影版《猎罪图鉴》，中国版《杀人回忆》，网大里的五星作品，无论节奏、美学、剪辑、故事、演技、氛围感都是对的，被时代伤害的弃儿，绝境中的女性互助，贫瘠土壤开出梦里花，复仇黑天鹅的金蝉脱壳，每一个元素踩在悬疑的点上。
比起上一部，剧本差很多，主角演员演技有提升，但却有硬凑戏之勉强
感觉电影一直想展现日冈的成长却把其他人物戏份安排的有些混乱了，尤其是反派boss，单纯的疯狂给不了人枭雄的感觉
本来是因为西野小姐姐去看的这个电影，结果发现了一个好消息和一个坏消息：好消息是，这的确是一部出色的电影，我随后找了第一部——完整地看了两部曲。算是黑帮电影里的佼佼者了（虽然日本黑帮给人感觉比起意大利或者哥伦比亚的黑社会档次要低了）；坏消息是，西野七濑是全剧中演技最差、最不在线的一个（或者这也是正常的一件事情）。
说句实话，虽然都是亚洲人，但是逻辑思维果然不一样啊。
上半场对脸盲患者极不友好。硬伤肯定有，别往文艺上靠，别煽情，但拍得比较努力，还是支持！
6分，还是无间道边缘人的戏法，不过几个演员都很出彩，白石和弥快成为大卫o拉塞尔了，特别捧演员，松坂桃李终于剪去标志性的长刘海了，第一眼都以为是小栗旬。两个男配也很出彩。
又是可以归入模仿《杀人回忆》的国产悬疑片系列，但社会和时代被淡化了，突出的是个体选择及身份认同。
很耐心地讲了一个故事，可惜人物深度不够，尤其是主角
丹江口拍摄的。
不知道这么优秀的作品为什么评分这么低 。评论区都是些什么人？自己不会耐心去看，把情节分解重组不就得到了正确认识。还有这个取景和演员都是很棒的好吧。真搞不懂吹毛求疵的人。
几个主要男演员脸上的胡子是怎么回事？不仅没有带来正义感，还让人觉得相当猥琐？包括日冈也是这样。
这是换了个傻编剧吗？剧情太扯淡了。警察和卧底在公共场合大摇大摆的见面，姐姐的场子是尾谷组罩着的然后弟弟跑去对头那里当卧底？十年脑血栓也想不出来这样的设定啊
平淡不代表有深意。中途推理很莫名其妙。一个画像师，靠一些磁带画出了凶手，磁带又是谁录的呢？叙述遭遇的不是已经被害了吗？凶徒谁要出镇都有消息，说明是个熟人社会，怎么老刑警查案资料新刑警队长没见过不知道吗？怎么就被刚来的上海画像师拿到来画像了呢？场景也很简单。摄影构图也不是很成熟，不知道要表达什么，也没能带起多少观众的情绪。选角凑和，至少严华的果敢和林音的柔弱形成对比。但还有位姑娘，存在的意义就是证明主角认真，但直到最后才说出重大破案线索，好莫名啊。
某些地方略显牵强，不够合理。
比前作逊色太多，剧情有点天真了。惊现寺岛进，可惜没给他发挥的空间。
两个丧家犬的战斗：01.一个为了自己所谓的和平；02一个为了所谓的荣耀；时长过于冗长了，故事根本撑不起来两个小时，90分钟足够，有些拖沓，拔高评分的点几乎都是在第三幕强行解释，前面没有铺垫。
摄影不错，几处取景相当诗意。表演不行，都太一板一眼。导演过于沉醉对舞蹈的设计，却失掉故事节奏。挺简单的人和事，讲啰嗦了。6
