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".
这部惊悚感削弱不少，不知道是不是铺垫不够，人物动机，行为逻辑也有问题，地下室逼老头出现那段，按照正常思维，老人一出现，恶人必会先开枪，还有时间允许你近身肉搏么……，主角光环也不能乱来吧。影像设计，视听语言上还是了些功夫，但并没有给片子增添可看性。
更喜欢第一支职业球队的教练说：命运，只属于弱者--强者是主导命运的。
看了男主20分钟，越看越眼熟终于记起踏实雷霆沙赞啊！女主更是眼熟看了演员表才想起来，是X战警里和狼叔一起的带电的小姑娘…这才几年啊，感觉他们俩这变化都还挺大的，片尾出现了传记原型就比男主还帅，哈哈哈，总体来说拍的还不错呢。
其实这不是一部励志片 这是一部家庭亲情片 平凡而真实
真实传记，所以没有太多意外，好在各位都演技在线，不尬。
开了金手指的瞎子,全程无敌关键还一点都不爽
这类续作通常会让你看的时候热血沸腾，但又会很快忘记它到底讲了一个什么故事。
很high很带感，这个系列走的就是这样的镜头风格和故事内容，而且小萝莉表演真的到位，老头依然牛批。。。
Zack continues to defy all the odds.
拍摄制作离得前作那么久也就算了，还直接塑造成硬核动作片。动作设计场景有点东西，但故事内核呕。
没有了第一部狭小空间猎杀的压迫感和窒息感，剧情开始落入俗套，只是单纯的血腥暴力复仇套路，不符合“屏住呼吸”的四字主题，而且和第一部没什么联系。这个系列的特色就注定只有第一部惊喜，后面再拍都是烂尾，总不能到了第三部还是退伍老兵家里闯入一帮不速之客的剧情吧。
1、制毒师这么珍稀的？这比什么几十年的传统老手艺人都难得吗？那么多人就没有一个学的会？
看了看导演的几个作品，都和福音电影有关系，但这部电影拍的不咸不淡，没有福音的话是一部不错的电影，如果要拍福音的话，拍的不突出，反而弱了一些。
小姑娘惨！实惨！被变态老大爷抢去做了假女儿，又被老爸老妈抢回去要她的心脏做手术，各种心塞啊。最后可怜的还是两只狗狗，一个莫名被害，一个被残忍抛弃。老爷子虽然有点变态，也死得其所，但是对女孩来说他是真心爱她的。
传统的叙事风格体育传记，但是拍的很稳，非常稳健，所以也是难得一见的好片
"Life is not about what you can achieve. It's about what you can become."
摄影很牛逼，瞎子的动作戏不好拍，全靠镜头的转换！上一集记不清了，最后不是把女猪脚抓住给他生孩子了么？！怎么这一部孩子还是别人的？！虽然没第一部好看，但依然是一部佳作，第一部属于恐怖片，这一部其实是动作片！和连森大叔救女儿差不多的情节！不会有第三部，大爷死了，最后也忏悔了，他就是悲剧，退伍军人，女儿意外死了，他为了继续有女儿的日子，终于把自己葬送了
个人评价：
2021年第255部：老头眼瞎是怎么看到电线的？这些人是要救女孩还是杀女孩。。
"Life is not about what you can achieve. It's about what you can become."
