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".
加长版《黑镜》 对于一向爱看重口和恐怖一些的我来说居然还挺喜欢 挺有意思的人联片子 为什么评分那么低？
荒诞中带着合理的黑色幽默。女权主义看前半段的时候应该不能忍，吐血住院和命不久矣都不能引起男朋友的半点关心，真他妈是“一个人吃饭睡觉到处走走停停”。而且她妈也对这个女儿也是似有若无，克隆人抢了自己的男人，还赢得自个老母亲的爱，最后还得支付克隆人的制造费用。这就简直太踏妈过分了，体制背后的无情无爱无人性刻画的淋漓尽致
挺不一样的一个角度讲克隆人的，关于道德，人性什么的…本体特么遇到的叫什么狗屎遭遇？！另外似乎所有角色都像机器人，面无表情、语调空洞…甚至包括路人两个双胞胎姐妹…古古怪怪…
我觉得最后活下来的是本体啊，其实故事不错，就是节奏慢了点
每个人都冷冰冰，好像没有感情的机器，却也更凸显故事的荒诞，观影过程老让我想起《龙虾》。女主演技在线。
最后结局有点东西，但看了遍讨论区，怎么会有那么多人喜欢装逼过度解读。人家导演编剧都各种暗示了，还强行说活下来的是本体，这又不是禁闭岛的开放式结局，有必要么- -......
未来世界无奇不有，当你为了生存下去要和你的复制体决斗时，你的心情将会怎样？肯定不美丽！肯定想千方百计杀了对方，这就是人的本性：为了活下去，啥都会去干！
淡淡的黑色幽默，耐人寻味的对话，超现实的背景。片子还真挺有看头的！最后结局非常好，树林一幕让观众不知所以的时候，最后的几幕通过母亲和男友道出了实情。当身边的人都千方百计的帮替身留下，本体能感受到的莫过于哀默……
导演太贼了，故意留下既像本体又像复制体的线索，让你自己琢磨。
关于克隆体的主题电影，可谓多矣，但本片拍出了新意，克隆体设定为不是像一般片子描述的那样，克隆体只是一个工具，而是在一定条件下，本体和克隆体必须公平决斗，胜利一方才有资格活着。本片还有一个特色是，语速对白极快，令人不禁怀疑是否1.5倍数播映，女主绝大部分的时间的面瘫式表演和电影怪异的“丧”风格很匹配，但电影也不缺少幽默搞笑的桥段。
伪纪录片形式的恐怖片，由五个故事组成，由一个简单的框架串联。第一个硫酸鼠人故事有些猎奇；第二个漆黑灵堂守夜人有点感觉； 第三个人T机械恶魔实验真的很变态，有豚鼠系列的味道， 第一视角瞬间变成CSGO体验；第四个白人主义者想搞生物爆炸袭击；第五个即框架本身主线。为了仿真，把画面调的模糊浑浊，前面的还好，后面两个故事直接把人晃晕。整体融合暴力血腥cult重口，满满的B级片恶趣味，简直就是血浆爱好者的盛宴，喜欢清新灵异气氛的恐怖片爱好者一定要绕道，一定。
感觉回来的应该还是原身吧，看她对于母亲跟男友的话的反应，应该是讽刺他们知道克隆体要毒杀她的内情，都希望她死，而她只能继续假装克隆体活着，可悲
人类的所有问题都是自己创造出来的吧，在解决自己创造的问题的同时往往又夹杂着自我否定
看的时候只觉得女主长手长脚真好看 一看果然1.8身高/ 倾向于觉得是本体被毒死了 因为女主训练的时候唯一错过了毒杀 教练说：没事的，你只miss了这一个。这就是一个暗示女主最后会死于毒杀吧
個人認為留下來的是傷心的本體。PS：女主好腿
特别发人深省的一步电影，很随便的看完，但却想回过头去好好看一遍，很多地方挺值得玩味的。

人啊，大多输给了自己的犹豫不决，左右摇摆，跟自己打的那一架最难赢。
又是开放式结局，我更偏向活下来的是本体，这样才更有趣，但无论活还是不活，Sarah的人生已经注定是个悲剧
复古画质很有趣，真有种重回90年代在录像店里租恐怖录像带的时光。不过故事本身新意不大，严格来说只有第一和第四个故事跟这种录像带画质有一点点互文关系（但也不大）。第三个故事整体创意有点借鉴《弗兰肯斯坦的军队》，珠玉在前，但本身做得没有任何突破。恐怖片导演在我看来都是一群富有童心、不愿长大的孩子，会寻找最有想象力的故事和手法来吓唬观众。
