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".
还行，很多事都感觉挺遥远，不像2021发生的事。
没想到今年还会再拍一部。还挺有意思的，回顾了美国今年又发生了哪些糟心事，麻烦也不比2020年的少。抗议者们一边闹事一边给自己拍下罪证把我逗笑了。讲《鱿鱼游戏》那段吐槽好真实，底层全是亚洲人，上层的邪恶势力则都是白种人，守卫们的脸倒是跟戴口罩一样全被遮住。2021年如果还是不能从中吸取教训，那就继续期待着2022去死吧。
福音之神 一个妓女的坎坷救赎之路 有晨光 有夕阳 有寒意 有温暖 更有浓浓的爱意 很治愈的田园氛围 摄影 用光 音乐都不错
2021年学到了啥，就是人们没从2020年学到任何东西
玛丽苏烂片，两星给男女主颜值，一星给滤镜，男主超级大舔狗
正因为主耶稣无条件地爱人，人才能获得无条件爱他人的力量 正因为主耶稣能完全原谅你，人才有力量去原谅人
男主给到的是爱，无条件的爱，在现在这个社会上来看，是很愚昧的，但是，这就是爱的本质，无条件的爱，这也是婚姻誓言里的主旨：无条件的爱对方。
适合和《不要抬头》放一起看 我太喜欢看讽刺喜剧了！！感觉编剧里肯定有reddit资深用户因为好多梗都在reddit刷到过哈哈哈哈 然后怀念被cancelled人物那里看到了艾米锤他真的好帅 哎能不能回到2019啊这俩年跟没活一样太惨了
连着一口气看了2020和2021，的确2021的一大总结就是人类基本没有从2020的经验中吸取什么教训
When you realize 2022 is pronounced "2020 too"…
有时我也觉得自己很脏，希望有人也会像男主一样包容我 爱我
妓院里找真爱，电影演的非常像电影。遇到美女不动弔装纯真，反复推拉欲扬先抑，给人感觉就是想吃口永久不排队还免费的。最后有孩子这一点是败笔，信仰基督就有主有美女有儿子，没有任何不幸。看完就在考虑如果那些花钱的淘金工也信仰主会装会忍，是不是队伍要排法国去了。电影本身就2分，奈何女演员漂亮，也是见色起意才欣赏这部片子，这点给导演➕1分。
今年看的第一部是2020去死，最后一部是2021去死，都得死，收工！
美式玛丽苏电影，圣父劝妓从良，可能是那个时代的故事吧，在目前的社会里是不会发生的。
没看懂时，几次因为男主为赎女主花的钱不值，几次因女主还离开他感到气愤到关掉。心想男主为什么还爱她啊！ 但这就是为什么人的爱如此脆弱。剧中男主的爱，映射着神爱我们的方式。神重金将我们从罪中赎回，以恒久忍耐，不强求的爱来爱我们，等着我们回转。所以非基督徒可能觉得男主的爱很不真实，世上哪有这么好的男主。这恰恰说明了世上任何一个人的爱，都不及神爱我们的万分之一。
怎么会有这样好的人。每个人都有罪，活着的意义就是原谅和爱。原谅自己，爱别人。
怎么说呢，好似美好的爱情实际扯淡。影片想拍得唯美，但剧情不现实。不管是男人女人，在爱情中都还是有底线的…
1. 摄影运镜、剪辑水平极高；2. 这部片子让我们成为更好的人
2021比2020更糟糕，但这只是小问题。因为2022年全世界会继续发烂发臭。
普遍的质疑点在于男主过于完美，女主不孕的坑没填好。
