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".
社恐女主在死宅舔狗的帮助下揭露黑心企业家丑闻，并成功反杀几个草包打手的故事… 稍微带了一点疫情+girls help girls+个人隐私泄漏的话题，但是难掩空洞和无聊的剧情。索德伯格现在只能拍点这了？还有克罗维兹真是不吝自己的身体啊，这种破片子也要露点。不过也没啥好露的就对了…一想到接下来要看见她的猫女就有点闹心。
对里面涉及到的案子一点也不感兴趣，拍得也比较无聊，和弱智，只想看社恐如何表现和变化的，蓝发粉发都好酷。
kimi的老板也太菜了 明知送了女友一台kimi 不知道事后先删音频吗
so is it Covid that causes her mental resistance to step out of the house
剧情就一般般 十年前我们就没有隐私可言了 现行的科技早已把你的一切扒的一干二净 唯一有感情戏的男的太特么丑了
从两三个时事热点展开的小成本电影。导演能力略有不足，但那个打太极的女管理拍出了可恨。
是让我爽到了的爽片，很喜欢。女儿演的很好，为女儿和配乐多加一分。（但是并不是很推荐。）
简单的总结，就是一个程序员，在杀了人之后， 终于克服了社交恐惧症，从而过上了正常而幸福的生活
“作为上世纪就出道的60后导演，却有股年轻导演的冲劲。索德伯格属于少数的既能保持别具一格的作风，还能不断尝试自己喜欢的想法。这回是希区柯克穿越到现在拍了一部《新后窗》。”
一个小巧但不那么精湛的故事，什么都有，窥视➕智能助手➕数据隐私➕匪帮追杀➕焦躁症➕创伤恢复➕疫情，但又什么都只是提了一下，结尾转得更是生硬，只能说是探索之作。不过女主真的好美🥵🥵
就是每个人都扮演一下主角就好，脸来回切换，看得太乱，那个流浪者也是被整得没脾气了！
索德伯格这部是随便拍拍玩的吗，感觉剧本很简单很扯
9分～Zoe演挺好，立意正面，疫情背景合时宜
是让我爽到了的爽片，很喜欢。女儿演的很好，为女儿和配乐多加一分。（但是并不是很推荐。）
索德伯格这两年的都中规中矩，我也不知道为啥我下了就看了
精彩的后疫情时代电影，人工智能，女权意识和心理惊悚各种议题都糅合在里面了，小巧精炼，给了各种线索。本该帮助被侵犯女性的组织成员助纣为虐，反隔离抗议者帮助女主不被杀手拖拽上车，讽刺极了。女主离开家再逃离回家的镜头真的让人眩晕心悸。最后片尾曲用了elastica的connection，好开心
反杀
我为什么要看这么烂的片，女猪无论颜值身材人设演技四合一灾难，剧情无聊兼闷到侮辱智商，尤其后半段都是些什么鬼，这样都能被反杀也只有智商为0才会有，kimi原来是工具人...
太拖沓了，也就是个短片的体量，华点只有最后10分钟
曾经美国独立导演的代表人物，如今拍得电影如此拉胯。产量虽然不低，但已经完全沦为资本之下可有可无的边角料作者。拿着有限的资源，拍摄着味同嚼蜡的片子。把作者电影搞成行活套招，索德伯格绝对是好莱坞数得上导演。《KIMI》作为一部疫情电影，整个创作思维还处在1.0阶段。围绕隔离生活这个更，他的创作原则是继续作加法，融入人工智能，犯罪动作的一堆烂梗。资源所限，又没有办法去有限而精彩的呈现作为一部惊悚片该有的视觉刺激的时候。结果就是本片这般即便只有不到90分钟的片长，却依然如坐针毡。前段生活琐碎的展现乏味无聊，后段惊悚的情节如同笑话。融合一堆议题，没一个说明白的。做了一堆加法，却依附在现实的背景下，离真实越来越远。
