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".
一个刁蛮的有钱人家的女孩被绑架了，一群人被飓风封锁在一个游客休息站。故事开始了。
感觉并不是在为drug正名 那种拍摄手法预示了Darby 渴望重生以及生命的转机吧
情节很简单的小故事，吸毒女孩为见重病母亲逃出戒毒所路遇暴风雪和人贩子共处避难所斗智斗勇的事迹。导演节奏抓得挺好。
从演员到布景到后期，感觉制作方很穷，另外，这是要洗白吸毒行为吗……
童年阴影、深夜暴雪、封闭小屋…本以为是「套路」的组合，却在后半段惊喜反转。
小演员小成本，完成度算不错了，不过有点为吸毒者正名的意思，就没必要了。碰毒品的都不是人，别提人权了。
紧张的氛围和反转还是不错的，只是细节上有些许bag，不过能理解，值得一看
竟然有点小惊喜(刺激)，虽然只是小成本制作。电影中至少两个地方看的我非常揪心，一处是邪恶翻开了自己最后一张底牌瞬间扳回局势，一处则是。。。(咦，看着就痛)，总的来说是周末非常不错的消遣电影。这应该也是我第一次在这类美国电影中看到使用了Chinese作为The Final Girl的设定，而女主也确实演的不错，同族裔加成，那再给一个星吧hh
出乎意料的精彩，为剧本和女主的表演打call！
小成本的惊悚片能做到这样算是不错了，小空间里面发生的小故事，不过还编得有模有样，暴风雪困了劫匪，路人，女主，虽然不能难推理出反派的存在，细节上存在一些bug和漏洞，但片尾一点小反转让全片有了不同于网大烂片的亮点。很难看到有亚裔作为主角的片子，尽管人设是个瘾君子，不过并没有太黑其智商，至少整个故事里面女主的行为和思维逻辑没有那些不靠谱的迷之操作。倒是黑人退伍军人挂得有点草率，政治正确也应该让其有点表现吧。全片节奏还算紧张，除了警察是个工具人，其他角色形象不算单薄，可以一看。
还不错 虽然比较套路但是看在钉子哥那一跤的份上加一分哈哈哈哈哈哈
3.5星。故事一般节奏不错后半程太精彩的，女主嗑药威力太强悍了，最后反杀给力。
开篇很好，慢慢入戏入扣，暴雪山庄的小变形，但后来的处理特别扁平，没有任何延展性。可惜可惜。
22年的片可以了，女主表演细腻，惊悚部分不傻，比想象中好，评分有点点低了
Kevin像在演电影版脱口秀，郭达不接这部戏是非常正确的，山P帅不过三秒。
打戏很好但剧情有点降智。被审问的那几个人意志那么薄弱，还没动手就全交代了，根本用不着伍迪哈里森出马，感觉我去都能套出话来。后面各地杀手大乱斗那段，打不过凯文哈特有点太主角光环了吧。还有正常人真的能想出非接触式拳击这么傻X的想法吗？不过最近那个刘什么宏的健身操火爆全网，嗯…………非接触式拳击好像也没那么傻X了。
真凶暴露有点早 反转也就不那么惊人了 惊悚气氛营造的还是差了点
Kevin像在演电影版脱口秀，郭达不接这部戏是非常正确的，山P帅不过三秒。
第一个赞叹是猜疑谁是凶手，既有怀疑推敲又不过度拖慢节奏。尤其是知道有两个人贩子时，还是非常震惊的。
●目前看了20分钟，女主长相很不讨喜，特别丧，就跟谁欠她一条命似的。方人精。●看完了，结局那段乱咬太扯了！
