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".
没有一个人被问的哑口无言，没有一个人胡搅蛮缠，极其流畅的会议，只是目的是如此荒唐
更像一部会议记录，如果改成黑白色彩就更像了。。。
五星让更多的人来看。会议效率如此之高，冷静理性地讨论清零“方案”，精确到人头和子弹消耗，让人不寒而栗。同时，发现1984年版本和2001BBC&HBO的版本。
一直都无法理解人种的高下之分，但是坐在会议室里的每个人的思想都如此统一，即便是争论谋杀的残忍也是针对德国士兵的心理健康来说的。都是被荒谬的时代裹挟着的人。
历史题材的电影真是出一部想看一部，过几天还有盟军方面的绞肉行动
1. 柏林的犹太人不一样，他们千丝万缕和德国 2. 全部消灭算了，1/2、1/4、1/8都一样 3.杀小孩是对的，父母都不在了，留下来有什么用 4.捷克斯洛伐克克罗地亚罗马尼亚都把消灭本国犹太人的权利交给了我们，唯独匈牙利不从 5.犹太人死后财产怎么办？谁都不会和钱过不去 6. 我们只是在履行我们的职责，不会因此被泼脏水，犹太人是罪有应得 7.命运选了我们这一代，我们不能因此感到困惑而拒绝执行 The end：为什么这么多受过良好教育的人会相信另一个种族是天生的饿？
从电影中可以窥见到当时军国主义的一斑，来回交替的唇枪舌剑可谓是十分精彩，但也能发现最终所有异议还是都被独断专权压了下去，这场讨论最大的意义似乎只在于如何能更高效的完成对于所有犹太人的清洗。回看历史还是会觉得，集体无意识是真的很可怕，一个社会如果完全失去了道德和法律准则，终将导致绝对集权的出现。这场会议既是二战时期德意志帝国巅峰的写照，也会是其落日余晖的开始。
2022-03-28 w/ PKY @Scotiabank Theatre Ottawa | 现在的动画电影做得好精致，电影院看体验不错。
しゃけ！mappa的制作非常可，考虑再去看遍反正也没有别的娱乐…
一句忠告：不要刚看完《EVA·终》就来看《咒回0》。会产生碇真嗣和真希波轮回转世的错觉的。并且，每次乙骨开口，都怕他把里香喊成明日香了…
最后你倒是说点诅咒人的话啊
“谁不喜欢和平？但我们这一代只能做出牺牲，我们就是德意志民族的医生，为国家去除生病的毒瘤.......”“为邻居铲除屎，他们还不乐意吗？”围绕最终解决方案讨论的主要是运输和“处理”的经济性，国民会不会反抗，对国内工业技术人才流失是否有影响，混血犹太人如何处理等等来展开。觥筹交错之间，决定了几百万人的生死。
三星半，算是很工整的歌舞片吧，但是裡面的歌舞編排只能説普通，各位演技都還算在線，只是故事本身過於波瀾不驚，沒有什麽記憶點，感覺過幾天就忘光了……
看到高潮的我：就这？……其实不错啦，人物塑造、节奏把控都很好……只是希望打斗能更精彩点……
因为是单独故事所以比无限列车强一些，但问题仍旧在
记录了一场会议，部门的承担，推诿，抱怨，忍让，达成共识。单从戏剧角度来说，没有特别大的戏剧冲突，一些不满最终也得到最大认同。不过是战时一个高层新议案展开的会议……吗。如果不去看他们讨论的内容，这得是多无趣的电影。一旦听见他们的会议内容，极大的可怖感能震颤整个人。他们为何如此理所应当…以为其中能有一些人性出现，可毕竟，依然是纳粹…人类历史上能有如此有秩序，但无人性的组织，太可怕了。
一个小细节，唯一差点冒头的良心来自一个年纪比较大的官员，充满干劲的年轻人总是冲在残忍第一线，就挺真实的。
人的命，有时候真不如猪，都快一百年了，咋还是这个样呢
高度一致，有序协调，科学规划，精准高效地制定欧洲犹太人动态清零计划。
放在大屏幕上还是差点意思，或者说漫画作为一种完善自足的媒介，单纯的转译就是会流失信息，何况是在原作本就不够有力的情况下。
