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".
当铁道游击队这个题材被抗日神剧拍烂了，导演很聪明的另辟蹊径，淡化铁道上的神操作，融入谍战的元素，加上一直没停过的大雪，高级的光影，质感十足，紧张肃杀的气氛一下子就起来了。但整体节奏不够紧凑，人物虽多但都不够饱满，女护士可有可无，但比《悬崖之上》的刘浩存好太多了。
22.5.25 有点意思 性、衰老和杀戮 看之前没想到能怎么表现两个老人的恐怖 看到开头也没想到这么点人能怎么杀 结果最后这两个点都还算满足了 中间一段温情交心片段还让我对毛片演员有了新的认识 结果转头就告诉你搞H就得死 然后这片子对老年人也有点不友好了
“这在我们家乡叫见阎王酒。您请。”......笑到我在黑暗中跺脚！买的时候没发现这个厅是4D，椅子会摇晃会吹风，人家骑个自行车我都抖三抖。开一枪，我腚一紧，开两枪，总感觉有人在打我。在火车上好几场戏整个影厅都好凉快！差点没给我整晕车喽（）其实电影本身没有太多意外，但因为一直挺喜欢张涵予老师，所以很满意结局的一整套英雄落幕。开枪、点烟、兄弟告别，衣服一敞，慢条斯理地点燃引线，帽子盖脸真的非常汤姆猫式告别了！（没错就是那个追老鼠的汤姆猫）还想到了西部牛仔，想到了姜戈，八恶人，能把主旋律的故事拍出中国式浪漫和潇洒，又不忘幽默和情调，真可谓是值得一看。范伟老师和那位日本军官演得也很赞！炸弹那儿真的牛逼......我是完全没想到！！（Ps：就不吐槽叫爸爸的剧情了，中华男性的终极毕生追求果然是——笑昏古七2333）
欲而不得
表面的一些工业化的东西让人看下去，内核里的东西让人看了跟没看一样。
PS：范伟是大惊喜，手雷炸汉奸太帅了。
摄影和剪辑让人眼前一亮，就是故事欠打磨到最后草草收场，有点可惜
国内好多导演是不是觉得把片子拍得时间越长就越好啊？
氛围其实营造得还不错，但是前面铺垫太久，后面也没有特别烘托起高潮
当周也没头没尾的来一句“老洪，你要好好活着”，我就知道他离死不远了。张涵予太适合这种造型了，抽烟时的样子真的超man超帅。平庸的电影。

服化道光影构图配乐等电影工业化效果优秀。
平淡，节奏慢，毫无新意亮点，靠着范伟看完。
范伟开大太帅了，雪花手绘非常感人，不过决战略沉闷，整体节奏有些过于压抑平缓。
也就范伟的表演可以看了，张涵予真的毫无演技，角色同质化，另一种形式的霸道总裁式英雄。
有内鬼……明晚连云港9点，停20分钟……我就觉得一句话的事儿，老范整天的传纸条至于么？
铁道题材的电影，总归还是要去看看。制作很棒，但故事和人物都太平。同为炸火车的电影，主创完全可以学习一下几十年前南斯拉夫的《瓦尔特保卫萨拉热窝》，把老洪设计成一个瓦尔特那样的神秘人多有意思啊！铁道队在历史上确有其事，津浦铁路的临城站，就是今天京沪铁路的枣庄西站。另外故事虽然发生在鲁南，但为拍摄蒸汽机车还得闯关东去调兵山。搞笑的是，导演还把满铁大调查部拉下水了。明明花了这么多心思，呈现出来的效果却过于浮光掠影，太可惜了。
拍的不错，质感很好，很优秀，现在的抗日电影拍的越来越好了。
这道菜导演想硬吃 奈何牙口不好 剧本平庸 动作场面吃力 好多脚部特写 好多吸烟动作 雪一直下 它不曾停歇
加一星给没有主角光环 战争的残酷就是子弹不会绕开你飞 故事的后半部特别是最后一场戏实在太烂了
