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".
看之前我以为是个历史剧，看完发现只是披着历史的外衣，内核是动作电影
从古至今都是如此 不可以存在的东西往往背后都有一些害群之马在相互勾结
网大的中上水准，剧本没能把林和华两部分做一个比较好的融合，观感上总是在正剧和武侠之间反复横跳，很难入戏。动作设计有点浮，有时候扎实，有时候轻飘飘，相对来说更喜欢东北警察的整体性。
剧情的转折设计得很巧妙，但只能通过主角的笑来体现出现转折了，根本没能从剧情中看出来反派头子是如何被发现鸦片藏在哪里的。另外，个人英雄主义太强烈了，一个人打几百个，要不要这么假，如果是抗战片，是不是要放进来手撕鬼子了啊？感觉这个评分太过虚高，一点也不令人感动，浪费了这份悲壮的历史题材！另外演林则徐的这人，也太胖了吧，面无表情，看不出什么演技，换个人演林则徐，效果会好很多！
最近谢苗是铁了心努力拍网大，质量不行数量凑，总会碰到个不错的剧本，结果还真被他遇见了，可喜可贺
给一星的都是战狼看多了吧 地点设置在中国真的太正常了 作为一个吉林延边人 我可以很郑重的告诉你们 东北地区尤其是吉林 搞韩国电信诈骗的真的多到让你难以想象 PS：本人身边就有很多从事这行的 很多！
动作设计居然还可以，谢苗就是吃了颜值的亏，同时代下，他看起来比释小龙老了十岁。。。。
电影的整体质感很好，调色和镜头都很有历史感，动作打戏、剧情翻转，是电影比较重要的看点。打戏很流畅，配合色调和镜头，很多片段都不亚于动作大片。电影并没有盲目追求涵盖整个事件，而是以小人物华继良为视角，而从小人物的角度去展现大事件，以小见大。剧情几经翻转，跌宕起伏。清朝的官，人都是感觉特别瘦！
演员都是挺到位的，剧情稍有雷点，开头把反派放生放得莫名其妙，把着火的人T到海里帮人灭火，可笑。片名改为《血战十三行》更合适。
虎门销烟的故事 客服其他官员和英商找到鸦片 销毁
虽然剧情老套，但是演员的表演可圈可点，动作设计确实够很辣。谢苗也该火一把了
质量还行 不能仔细推敲其中的一些细节和转场部分交代的有点突然 但是题材还是很新颖的 如果剧本再多打磨的精细一点还是部不错的电影
电影比较紧凑，看得很爽，但高潮部分却不够精彩。
差不多从《投名状》开始，古装动作片开始走实战风格。继续发扬！
武打片看的是个爽，这个就像是没有任何剧情铺垫的特级情se片。
能少黑点国内空气不好就好
这片子不打五星？虽然有些瑕疵，比如在中国的部分场景问题，但这片的现实意义远比流浪，狼等要深远。信息怎么会泄露的，为什么那么陌生电话找你给你贷款给你各种福利？你的个人信息被卖了一次又一次！最后那位总结的很好，陌生电话提钱的，不要相信。希望大家都能看一看。
题材丰富了内容 整体感觉就还行 演员演技也都还不错
工作中接触过韩国换钱所的人，就是所谓地下钱庄，整天拿一堆现金来存，基本都是朝鲜族，公安部确实帮助韩国抓过韩国电诈在国内的客服中心，情节比较真实，取景地竟然在西安……
看见洋鬼子不得劲，看见汉奸更憋气。全都死光光！
