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".
只是真的很像某奢侈品牌
读小说时我年纪太小，别说其中的政治，就是人物和情节也不大记得，但是“宏大奇观”的印象一直保留了下来。这部电影很好地贴合了这种印象。要说可惜，就是“奇观”的部分主要体现在视效上，正常叙事中，除了姐妹会和暗杀镖那一出，大部分都算中规中矩吧，离史诗差着一口气。甜茶这长相，往外一站就是小公爵，选角对了赢一半。
首先申明我本分原著党，150多分钟我感觉真就看了个寂寞，10分钟讲完的故事非得拖到150分钟，电影确实是大制作但真的让人提不起兴趣，150分钟没有任何高潮部分，以至于让我疯狂看时间，电影构造也是空洞，无聊，这部电影真的是2021年我认为看过最具有欺骗性的电影，宣传多牛，一看就废
十三号机穿着三国的战甲出来讲了个三毛从军记的故事
《银翼杀手2049》上映采访高司令的时候，他说过自己最喜欢的科幻作品之一是《沙丘》。而当代除了维伦纽瓦，很难想象还有谁更适合将这样一部鸿篇巨制来搬上银幕。这部电影既有庞大的世界观和古典的故事框架，也处处是克制的留白。它完全超越了好莱坞的类型片叙事。它所带来的并非只是震撼的视觉奇观，而是一种只可意会的、科幻的语言。或许这就是Z时代的史诗。诗意而冰冷，模糊而简洁，庞大而神秘，古典又未来。
太他妈难看了，如坐针毡！我层次太低，欣赏不了美国文化！
怎么会把配乐铺得这么满，每次都靠配乐把情绪硬顶上去看得人非常累。降临和2049还勉强可以看出摄影美学，到了沙丘就只剩下巨物迷恋了。
最后再吐槽一点，明明拍中东背景却挑了一批黑人兄弟，好一手偷梁换柱，傲慢与无知溢于言表了
巨大的圆筒状太空船十分震撼。但夜袭一幕太制杖了，不懂什么叫枕戈待旦么？
比起未来更像是过去，至于为什么在科技高度发达的前提下还要选择冷兵器时代的战斗方式，可能只有拳拳到肉，以命相博的短兵相接才更有朝代更迭的苍凉悲怆感。一切古老的，原始的，都在缓慢而有秩序的向前流动，等待着既定时刻的发生。画面与配乐都是顶级。
配乐满分，特效满分，沙虫满分，甜茶地道普通话+1分。
沙漠的褶皱上，是人类渺小的盘旋；绚烂的导弹下，是受欢迎的人招致当权者的猜忌和攻击。殖民者继承科学，与自然做着最后一秒的斗争；土著部落隐忍地下，年复一年地积蓄力量。权利依旧阴冷和迷蒙，资本却是永远的肥硕和贪婪。 音言控制的了意识，却控制不住未来；未来之子梦见了未来，未来却早已经发生了变化。整个故事如厄拉科斯的全貌，看似一览无余的单调，地下却还隐藏着上百个新的世界。
保罗给人们讲故事，有一个渔人被淹死了。
ten thousand years later women still only cry, black people still watering white people’s plants, and Chinese people do mysterious medicine
能看到未来时你会怎么样地去迎接你的命运？…Denis Villeneuve又创作了一次“降临”，用了“阿拉伯的劳伦斯”的背景。
3.结尾主角弱鸡苍白的身体是如何贴身肉搏战胜另外一个强壮战士的？女主不相信关于他的预言，为什么还把祖传的匕首借给他？
画面很美，很有史诗感，很不理解评价此片“殖民主义”云云的人，难道脑子里除了社科大词之外一无所有吗？
那时，人们不需要再穿着笨重的蒸馏服，不需要回收死者的水分。
制作当然很精良，但这难道不是这个时代商业片中最廉价的东西之一吗？
大量留白的镜头，陌生的宇宙星辰和世界，在人物表情和空旷的天地之间任由我的想象来填充。看多了酷炫密实嘴炮不停的科幻电影，“我们的征途是星辰和大海”，这样的表达在2021年是不是已经过时了? 还有人在拍这样的电影，真好。
