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".
20211009周六 21:48 都是一场人体变异怪兽秀，无多大惊喜，不过要比第三部好这是肯定的。唯有那个下水道里有种未知恐惧感，结果遇到一群傻逼供养出的鼠人来信仰，这个和吸血鬼那段都有点宗教意味，暴风雨夜守灵遇尸变咬咬咬与变态科学家玩转机械人都麻麻地，最后一个是想拿摄影机过家家吗！
过瘾就完事,疯狂科学家那段跟日本漫画学的吧 够刺激张狂残暴
精彩！最喜欢守灵夜那个小故事，也符合VHS的画质，然后布景啊空间啊都非常到位，推荐看那个！最后面人体机器实验也还行。
不是说是cult片就能得高分，各种混炖且不知所云真的让人一头雾水，我也算一口气把1234看完了，风格还是挺统一的——统一的不知所云。确实不明白到底要表达个什么东西，还是说只是为了拍而拍，为了好耍、血腥、另类而拍，原谅我欣赏无能～
感觉比之前好看点，但还是在看机器人大战就困的睡着了，这东西还真就是脑洞，开好了有层次才显得好看
最好看是邪恶博士那part，真的很邪.... 这系列最好看目前还是2
还不错，制作痕迹很重，不像之前那种纯原生感，竟然还有转场，故事的口味还可以，除了恐怖分子那个有点墨迹，剩下的都该好，最好的是人体实验那个了，
远不及致命录像带第一部的水准，当个抖音长vlog看差不多。
增添了许多逻辑上的因果连结
没有那味了 就血浆越来越舍得撒/看完反而回去给第二部加了一星
第一个故事最佳，很好地展示了伪纪录风格吸引人的地方，完整的故事背景和来自Rat Man的未知恐惧相得益彰，大大增强了剧情高潮带给人的观感刺激。三星。
6分。很血腥，除了人机结合那段，其他故事一般。
回到录像厅cult片时代，单纯的本本cult
没有特别明显的拉低分数的，可能鼠人稍微差强人意。印尼Timo的疯狂博士改造人这个拍得了得！第二部邪教也是他拍的！都可以扩展成独立电影不说，一般恐怖片没有什么探讨的，他拍的里面居然会讨论人性以及伦理道德小哲学层面。恐怖的外衣，不乏内涵。牛。
有些许江郎才尽的势头，稍显失望，大招全放前面了，后面越来越不行，应该反过来，这样观感能好很多，这种很有年代的影像质感倒是增添了很多粗砺的恐怖感，以及印尼的故事依旧不错。
最爱VHS！！第三个好精致啊画风都不一样了
还是可以的，看改造人的那一段的时候正在吃一个烧得比较烂的锔饭，差点吃不下去
【3星半】年度R级类型电影大赏，直接被溶解掉下来的脸皮、半头骨半生状态游走、非法人体机械改造、不死身和堪比小丑回魂那样的开嘴尖牙巨口，世界观和脑洞眼界再一次被奇异猛烈地拓展了，谈不上喜欢但是真的有点东西。
伪纪录片&短片集双厨狂呕。拍的什么玩意儿。还是期待26种死法系列吧。
第一个短片还可以 然后是机器人改造那，好心疼那些被改造的人。
