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".
笨贼碰到蠢警察，加上斯德哥尔摩症候群，无语。。。。。。
简单的故事 几个学生组个乐队 从不受欢迎到上新闻头条 其中还有内讧和好谈谈恋爱的戏码——真不知道这样的电影要怎么拍才能不好看！哇！太激动了！摇滚真是个很有魅力的东西！特别看到Hunter最后乐队争霸里那段电吉他solo 真让我鸡皮疙瘩起之余我也跟着飞起来！当然Kevin的鼓也是帅 婚礼那一段还有自己在音乐室练习开始穿黑衣服的一段也是极其的燃！Emily其实挺美的 皮肤又白眼睛又大 动不动就发火扔东西骂人我一开始就想这性格还不重金属吗哈哈哈哈 她把乐队名字改【Fucker】改为【Flower】这个创意超级棒拍手叫绝！还有另外那个乐队的主唱也超级甜人又好（Hunter说输给他们没所谓他们是好人那一刻我感觉到了其实美国学生也很友善的ww）总之这样质量的音乐青春片拍多少我都愿意看！
Hunter长得好好看😂三位成员颜值高业务能力又好，最后的演出一点不失望😂 重金属元素的青春片就很对口呀，又酷又搞笑，产后看的第一部电影，没选错片，虽然只能控制音量在6-8观看😂 ps : 如果我在初高中就听过重金属，那些无处安放的情绪就有发泄口了～
真年轻真可爱啊skullflower哈哈哈
好可爱的一部电影，果然重型的鼓手是其他乐队最向往的乐手了哈哈哈哈哈哈哈
恐怖分子太有道义了，但凡狠点可能都结果不一样
如此小清新的重金属乐队？hhhh用大提琴玩摇滚真得帅爆了
小丑回魂正太长大中分的样子看起来好像年轻时的Michael Pitt，长发男二好像年轻的Ezra Miller。。。
女主出场也是很帅气呀～
1、自由的代价就是一条血路；2、威胁到主体的白人也得死；3、真实事件改编。6分。
男孩子上学时候还是得靠体育和音乐来好泡妞 得有一技之长
在年轻的时候，为自己想做的事而努力，可能这并不是想做的事，只是刚好遇到了可以努力的事
当青春遇上重金属，那蹦发的能量，相当rock，就是不敢带着孩子一起看，相对于中国文化，多少有些超纲，演的还行，音乐元素不太够，有些转变太快了，比如说打鼓技能，哪可能提升这么迅速……略显儿戏了，别的没毛病，及格吧
裹扎这重金属音乐外衣的青春剧。青春，躁动，热血，中二，活力十足。
上周末看的，看完扒了他们乐队铅笔写的那歌儿的大提琴前奏，开始有模有样练大无，然后准备再扒一下war pig里面的大提琴。我觉得鼓手war pig那段儿打得帅飞了！演员好努力，看得出来有正经学鼓学琴。pep band也超级relatable，虽然从来没有见过那么爆裂的黑管哈哈哈。故事就非常普通，但是是our zone，所以值得大说特说😬👊🏻👊🏻
三观很正，重金属摇滚非常热血，叛逆中又有一份可爱
挺有意思的，虽然但是最后没有人不为金属乐疯狂的哈哈哈！
除了音乐种类小众外，每次这样内容故事都差不多剧情。。
威胁白人至上的白人也得死，好讽刺
关于救赎和自我救赎的电影，好看，娱乐性很强，看得很开心。
