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".
非常棒啊，开始一星结尾一星，中间睡觉完事儿
看来只有达西的电影我才能看得下去（隔壁主演的美剧实在是不合胃口）。英国主旋律电影，全员熟脸，大咖云集，阵容真的太豪华了，给Body安人设也是挺有意思的，可惜女主实在拉胯拖后腿（亘古不变的苏格兰厚重口音在人均十种表演口音的英圈来说实在是显得能力不足）。电影整体来说还是比较精致，就是剧情略平，不过没办法，英国电影全是这种调调。
青春期依恋是否是全世界最美好的感情
很喜欢的题材+制服科林叔直接把期待拉得很高。但是不太理解为啥要在一个四人小组中间掺杂一段三角恋，不清不楚好像对主线推进也没啥帮助，反而显得节奏松散。以及西班牙三面间谍搞定一切都靠金手指这件事情也有点影响观感。三星水准加一星给制服帅哥们。
这么好的阵容，这么好的题材，结果就拍成这样？整个剧情似乎不知道悬念为何物。。
剧情有够平淡的，可以说几无波澜，穿插的三角感情戏又是草草结束，包括最后冒出的泰迪是否属于反元首联盟也是略过不提，不痛快。007作者作为彩蛋贯穿全片
最近看了太多间谍片，Mincemeat真的是最精妙的一个
又一部关于历史的故事，让我知道了已经发生的事情。我们现在之所以能衣食无忧的生活，也是靠前人的牺牲，不论国籍，不论人种，甚至不论生死。
豆瓣的品味现在越来越低俗了，总是给那些直白且无聊的电影高分。
大历史下小人物的故事，总是那么迷人，尤其是有Colin Firth在场的时候。
2.5吧，前半段编人物小传挺有意思的，但感情线实在……没必要啊没必要
看个乐，日式中二剧情，主角两个妹子是杀手，短发妹试图打工融入社会但是比较困难，长发妹在女仆店打工，boss是黑道，这里面所有角色多少带点大病hhh其实就两个妹子的友情来说感觉还挺日常的？杀人桥段还算比较利落
两代达西先生同框就足以令我入痴。最动人是假作真时真亦假无为有时有还无的那些为马丁少校补充出血肉身世与性情的针针线线、心血、真情。阿姨拟情书、男友面相、一次次提笔又作罢的家书、专业伪装师高超的信件判断、等待最终结果、战后每人的命运轨迹.....都是动人之笔。唯一遗憾且做作的，是双男主对女主的情感桥段。前辈达西脸叔虽中年发福，英军制服下依旧硬挺且人文。后版达西造型略逊，声线也过于舞台剧而太过抢戏。
3.脸叔帅炸，but why？
还可以，虽然都是文戏，还是有紧迫感的，感情戏可有可无，如果加上德国如何分析消息的就更丰满了
终于找到了 怎么这部电影名字比我幼儿园同学还多...
感觉可以给到3.5星 plot twists很多很惊喜 但是节奏总是差了那么一点 以及其实谍战片里真的没有必要加模棱两可的感情戏hhh
文戏挺不错的，镜头的质感也很棒，可能是很久没看国语配音的片子了，感觉还不错。
因为从一开始就失去了悬念，所以这部谍战剧就只能另辟蹊径，比如走文艺路线。毕竟，导演又怎么会浪费两代达西先生呢？
不好看。不知道爱情线是真的假的。真的，编剧如果讲不好，你还不如砍掉；假的，那你加它干嘛？不过台词写得不错--编剧眼力看得太近，没有什么大局观or大纲能力，离了旁白讲不了故事，我还不如去看Basil Thomson的书去
