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".
明知道近乎等于送死也要去，因为不去的话就等于失败
论争场面实国产电影大决战拍的也很棒！水门桥拍的太徐克了！弱化了抗美援朝真正伟大的地方！加一星给主题
第二部在一些方面上有所弥补：表现了一个较为完整的故事；特效没有像上部那样假的过于离谱；战役描写也较为完整。但缺点同样明显：即使加入了诸多细节，但战斗描写依旧乱七八糟，条理不清，章法不明；节奏拖沓，很多地方并没必要搞得那么稀松缓慢，甚至让人看不下去；对方的人物刻画依旧那么智障，一个炮弹插在木板中，吴京手里拿着手枪，然后美国人就在那看……；很多地方不合逻辑，离谱至极，一个人能吸引走一队的飞机……；煽情说教环节太多。
没有亲历过战争炮火的人没有资格说三道四。
四字最后那一喊报道三星变四星。呜呜呜七连魂。
心情难受压抑恐惧
“不是飞机大炮，不是导弹坦克，也不是核武器。而是一群能自由而幸福生活的人们，保卫他们的生活方式的决心。”
尊严，只在剑锋之上，
最后的主角光环，和炸桥方式不适合这样的片子。其他都还好。先辈用生命换来的和平，让我们才可以在这上网，看电影，平静的生活。可依然有些人被洗脑式的以反战为名在反对这场伟大的保家卫国战争。人民英雄永垂不朽！中国人民志愿军永垂不朽！
刚看完首映，破防了！战士们所有人为一个目标，以生命为代价，哪怕只有最后几个人，他们依然坚守总部命令——炸桥。伍万里在山洞说“七连都是我哥哥”、余从戎说“我要让你们都活着回家”。余从戎孤身一人，为余下七连引开飞机轰炸，伍千里连长、雷叔、平河也如此，最后七连只剩伍万里。美军的几番修桥，有人会说根本没用，人太少，可这就是命令。如果都这样想，就不可能完成，但他们依然执行最初，完成了艰难的任务。支援部队最后一刻来了，震撼，浑身暖流，望着大好山河，我们一定会胜利！有这样的战士，视死如归，我们又怎么可能不取得最终胜利？英雄的七连！英雄的战士们！向您们致敬，我们会好好努力，热爱和平、热爱祖国！不负您们，不负祖国！愿祖国永远繁荣昌盛！！！
伦敦观影。3.5分，镜头有些过于血腥，人物稍显脸谱化，情节有些单薄
给每一个英雄致敬！必须五颗星！中国军人，真不容易！今天的幸福生活，都是他们用血肉换来的。一个战役，在历史书上只有简单一笔，但是有多少人命啊，青山处处埋忠骨
这个电影拍成系列了，不错
所以感觉的不是恐惧与无奈
那这部电影就做好了，你无可否认。。。
有几处确实有戳到泪点，战争片必然的。
一顿狂轰乱炸，真的是一顿狂轰乱炸，演员这妆化的我真难受，又冷又疼
看完心情很沉重。
每一个牺牲的角色都让我泪洒当场…想象一下实际的战争应该远比拍出来的更残酷😭文戏很少，没有大的毛病，总体四星半，为祝福新中国万岁满星！
总之，这片子从题材上就拧巴。
