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".
还算挺欢乐。虽总是说廉颇老矣，但也要看看那时候跟凯奇搭戏的都是谁啊？康纳利、特拉沃尔塔、马尔科维奇、甜心瑞恩等等，没他们凯奇也没这么神说真的。这次好在有亲王“抬桩”，囧傻呆萌一起胡闹，不然也好不到哪儿去。1080P 22/06/07
天呐，这老爷车节奏无法忍受，闪闪的抱枕有点好玩
脱线喜剧般的神经疯狂，温馨美好的家庭关系变奏曲，对特工电影的滑稽戏仿和超越，虚构剧本与现实生活的交错模糊，这些都不可思议地巧妙融合在了本片之中。正片的质感比预告片好太多，差点因为烂预告错过。
真的是顽梗玩到飞起 导演不是凯奇的铁粉都写不出这个剧本 基本把凯奇重要的电影都致敬了一遍 连《曼蒂》都带到了 一次次突破次元壁 分不清这到底是电影剧情还是凯奇真实生活 另外就是真的别让帕斯卡再演傻子了 真的太像了 你可是红毒蛇呀
这部电影是六月初看的，非常缓解当时压抑的心情，看完得到了暂时的快乐。Pedro太帅了，因此多给了一颗星！！！
我脑补的情节：那一对Cia其实是雌雄大盗，他们绑架了议员女儿顺便嫁祸黑社会，凯奇被当作一颗预料之外的棋子；实际上的情节：一些不可言说的男男卖腐。
看到一半就觉得服道化都很gay的品味，查了一下导演果然是gay的，而且是那主流的又stereotype的gay的样子。
挺好玩的。其实我还挺喜欢曼蒂的（这是能说的吗）。卡里加里博士的小屋真的很好看的！！！！
凯奇的商业片要是都能有这水平的话显然是不用担心未来的。
凯奇大叔对自己演艺生涯的总结，还挺有意思的，故事不新，但因为“本色出演”让整个片子变得好玩，还完债的凯奇大叔要多多拍好片才行
后面好严肃来着，为什么不能把乐子贯穿全片。
凯奇在凯奇的电影里致敬凯奇，还演了小半部连姆·尼森。可以但没必要，不知道凯奇自己咋想的，演三部这种片也不如接一部靠谱的正剧，毕竟靓汤和基努也不是靠乱炖片回春的。
尼古拉斯·凯奇写给自己的一封情书。
I Fucking Love You！
每次宣传都说凯奇翻身了，然后每次看完都被骗了
《尼古拉斯凯奇的多重宇宙》lol 挺轻松的，好多喜欢的演员，凯奇确实演了很多烂片但是他的好电影也真的值得回顾，私心多加一星
他是演技炸裂的凯奇，他也被称为烂片之王，他系出名门且才华横溢，他债墙高筑又神经兮兮，这是他以真实身份出演本人的一部非传记电影，若当作是粉丝致敬或爆米花爽片就大错特错，这是一个与千千万万陷入困境的中年一样不得不拼命的戏剧化破局故事。如果你期待为各种经典桥段致敬彩蛋欢呼或想看到巅峰凯奇满血回归，那必然会失望，我个人很喜欢，喜欢凯奇无奈无助又无畏无惧的演出。
比预期中低了不少，但是最后一戏中戏，又扳回一点点。。。
挺欢乐的，打破第四面墙的手法，致敬部分诚意满满，结局有点老套……
笑死了，年轻的凯奇下巴像个锥子一样。恭喜凯奇终于还清债了。
