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".
媚拉“你有过真爱吗”
8.希望大家看得开心，enjoy your day with this movie.
我怀疑扎剪这7000万是尾灯给出的。沉冤得雪啊尾灯。
如果所有人都像配角们一样的正常速度说话做事，可以缩短一半时长，不是所谓剧情拖沓，是语速和行动拖沓
这才是DC宇宙打开的正确方式！同样是磅礴的架空和复杂的角色，没有如漫威长达十年的铺垫，单在一个2小时的公映版中是很容易失焦的（当时看公映版就觉得荒原狼毫无存在感）。4小时剪辑版扩充了该有的故事线，加了大量关键角色（片尾彩蛋），人物更鲜明更立体，最主要是文戏使得整个正义联盟的形象丰满了起来。7.7
尾灯对不起，原来扎斯林说拍的好的地方全是你拍的。
这片子的动作逻辑比尾灯版的好多了，但是如果你不是扎导粉，这片子真的太慢。。。对我来说这就是一DC运动会，攀岩选手找游泳运动员玩，游泳运动员不和他玩，他只能和射箭运动员找跑步运动员&橄榄球运动员玩，游泳选手和射箭选手冰释祖辈恩怨大家一起复活了健美先生的故事。
由于采用了七武士式的组队模式自然要耗费近半（两小时）篇幅；捍卫地球远古历史回顾的内容又没法不让人想起指环王；加上这回施耐德在导演剪辑版中有意放出了传统画幅比例……三位一体浓烈满盈的迷影怀旧情绪，可还是架不住双方真打起来之后好感顿衰。视觉系导演扎克施耐德很重视以画面对比强化以弱胜强的感染力。拍300时演薛西斯的巴西演员其实不足一米九，被辅助增高到七英尺成了巨人，让斯巴达肌肉男在纵向空间上瞬间成了小弟。正义联盟荒原狼也采用同样的思维，改以传统画幅呈现后更强化了对比（掐脖拎起海兵）造就了精彩（与女侠对打）。但超人一出场就完蛋了。超人无限能力设定严重破坏了以视觉对比制造张力催生移情的内在逻辑基础——反正对手块头再大也不堪一击。体格与能力挂钩需智取（铁血战士）；以小捶（特）大该归动画！孙悟空戏斗巨灵神。
风格更加统一，有那么几场戏真的有史诗质感了，但整体还是有点差意思了，9分过于夸张。
242分钟的电影打了13把王者，输了9把赢了4把
扎克翻译过《守望者》而不是创造了它，没有阿兰摩尔自己也复制不了的神奇写作，超级英雄片单靠忧郁滤镜和黑色制服实现不了意味深长的反讽…
如果当初我在电影院看到的是这个，我得多开心啊。 （更新：实在看不下去了，有些人的指责太令人困惑了，请问好莱坞有什么导演，能够在电影里有四五个角色没有介绍过的情况下，将其背景故事完美融合进主线，并且保证主要脉络的观感极其清晰的？华纳急功近利地选择这样的立项顺序，导致了想要实现，就不得不添加这几个角色的故事，去勾勒他们，这难以避免地使得影片时间增加，故事出现一些问题。一般的电影只需要聚焦在核心的几个角色上，并且以主角为核心，但是这种集结漫改电影的难度在于，尤其是大多数没有铺垫的情况下，如何让每个成员都要有血有肉？至于喷达克赛德弱的，更加困惑了。这达克赛德明明是被宙斯、阿尔忒弥斯和阿瑞斯几个神联手打败的，转眼变成了，被人打败的，醒醒，这三个都是古代旧神，极其强大，宙斯一个闪电一劈就把母盒分开了）
感谢扎导 感谢心心姐 感谢一同为之奋斗的扎粉们
PS喜欢这片的人自己去多开几个账号给流媒体多花点钱吧，没钱的穷逼请闭麦白嫖，私信来骂人的都是被戳中了气急败坏的，只会让我看到你们穷酸跳脚又拿我没办法的样子觉得很开心。XD
年纪和体力不行了，分了两天两次才能看完。Mad Max: Fury Road (2015)以来最好的超现实体验电影，没有尿点，硬生生扛完242分钟。当然是给五星，我有预感，这是一颗穷途末路的五星。我们这一代人的审美趣味，在这部片里面展现的淋漓尽致，过了这个片再这样拍电影的话，就是老套、笨拙和不合时宜了。随着我们这一代步入老年，这种21世纪初期达到高峰的，把才华浪费在对人类精致假面的低俗热爱上的审美趣味，大概就也要走到尽头了。上一个奇怪的审美潮流，是代表蓝领阶层的史泰龙和施瓦辛格风。而未来新一代，他们愿意看什么，我不知道，也不关心。即使我会延长退休，我的审美也会永远地定格在这个黑暗的哥谭市。
确实比当时的院线版好了许多，风格至少统一一些了，而且各个角色特别是钢骨丰满了许多，不过其实也没有想象中那么好，整部片4个小时说上去很足，但是其实很多地方很拖沓，最无法理解的是火星猎人的出场，对情节几乎没有作用，除了惊喜一下似乎也没了……不过身为DC铁粉，还是一如既往爱得深沉。
锁死
不难看就是太长了，太长了，各种无意义的慢镜头严重影响质感
比尾灯版本好，但是是真的夸不出口。很典型的路人看戏，戏迷入魂罢了。基本就是2017版的延伸，只是把一个故事细节化。六个部分平行推进，对非影迷更容易入门了，丰富了每个英雄的故事线，更明白他们为事的动力是什么了。但是不影响他拖沓，揉杂了扎导过欲的表达。最后的感官就是剧情推进的累，演员演的累，观众看的累。当然，还是感谢扎导的剪辑版，毕竟华纳没有心。
希望是今天的存在大于其他吧。Hallelujah.
