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".
看完之后连吐槽的欲望都没有，抛开原著来说也是每一部分都做错（更何况不可能抛得开）。布拉纳真是好自恋哦，而且他一个英国人还封了爵，怎么一股子美式暴发户审美。艾米锤在戏里又肥又油又老，让年轻美貌的富婆一见钟情有任何可信度吗？？
阿加莎的书我毫不夸张的说我看过全套，这个故事我也看过n个版本，我不知道是谁突发奇想想要尝试一些改变，但是敢打波洛胡子的主意，how dare you???
看原著前不要看！！！除了关键诡计基本都被魔改得毫无气质可言。Simon选角太失败了，好难看好脏，汗味突破屏幕了，完全不“孩子气”。演热烈的爱情跟演porn是两码事。GalGadot毫无新意，EmmaMackey小惊艳但戏份少。最后一幕原著是浪漫且决绝，电影是仓促而狼狈。少了原著那些细腻的情感表达和缜密的逻辑推理，只剩下埃及神秘瑰丽的视听影像：风筝在金字塔边缘飞舞，巨石自神庙轰然落下，尼罗河水悠悠向天边铺陈。
黑妹让人很出戏，现在美国电影不放几个黑妹就不能拍了吗？
一个严肃的时代缩影，被改拍得像是儿戏，就像在金字塔上放风筝一样毫无意义
罗马Space，比东方快车好看，也是交通不畅状况频发的情人节啊。
警惕前任，无论爱还是不爱，前任在眼前，身心有危险。
3.5 2月19日去看的，鉴于没抱什么期望，所以反而也没什么失望。电影整体而言，除了波洛不是波洛，改编程度太大之外，倒基本也没感觉到什么缺点，艾米·汉莫的演技挺好的倒有点出乎意料，可惜出现在了这么一部作品里面，其实快一个月过去看了个什么我基本忘了，阿婆原著里的波洛可是很有魅力的，这个改动实在是显得毫无魅力，其他人物我更是没留下什么印象。
啊，肯叔叔的频谱果然和我完全对得上。我对这版改编非常满意！人物情感逻辑合理多了。艾玛妹子好棒，将来一定会有大出息的。汉莫锤真是“合适”的选角呢。PS：比起新东方进步了不止一点点，老头果然是活到老学到老。又PS：看完好想去埃及，这是旅游宣传片啊。
但就冲着导演给波洛塞的感情戏私货和自作主张的胡子设定，这电影就足以承受来自全世界粉丝的辱骂。
部分场景好看，感叹当代电影制作比旧版高超太多，但部分场景又充满五毛塑料感。删减人物和推理过程、乱改人设 磨平了原著中很多必要的矛盾冲突和犯罪动机、连关键台词都不放重点，实在太败笔，不知道咋想的，要是想搞成这种重新整合人物关系的破案片，还不如直接拍成利刃出鞘那种架空新编，还重拍阿加莎干嘛？本想着肯尼斯布拉纳的电影一贯突出戏剧风格，独树一帜有舞台感也不错，结果又塞满了大脸特写。不符合预期，比较失望。林内特选角严重不符，感觉她端个加特林把全船都突突喽还差不多。罗萨林选角不错，但本应装出来的神经质又太欠缺。服装设计失败，没有时代感。全程爵士配乐不错，回头找原声来听听。这要是普通探案片能给三星半，但这本应是阿加莎啊，结果拍的跟阿加莎有啥关系吗？两星不能再多了。
Gal一点也没有可恨可爱的感觉，Armie倒是有种蠢到连杀人方法精神构思不出来的感觉。
第一部东方列车不怎么好看，这次纯粹冲着盖尔加朵去的。结果比东方列车好看多了，场面阵容表演角色塑造都不错，节奏也比较紧凑。作为一部侦探片的缺点大概是推理部分太弱，角色一出场就看到头了没啥悬念，“每个人都有动机每个人都可能是凶手”的紧张气氛没堆叠起来。
汉莫不值得加朵和艾玛争抢orz 魔改好严重，对波罗的胡子来历真的不感兴趣，加的感情戏也真的没有必要
画面和音乐超美。故事上，氛围烘托不错，但作为悬疑片，几乎从电影的三分之一处就完全猜到结尾，尤其给手帕的特写实在太过刻意。而且最后的揭秘除了没有惊喜感，对于逻辑推理的演绎也实在是有些过于简单。比如说指出是表哥去撬开了神庙大石头，hello？请问男主角是有天眼吗？表哥居然还当场就认了，实在是有些侮辱观众。
其实第二个故事也不错，又搞笑又惊悚～
20220221 查了下 上一回是在4年前看的 对于谁是凶手竟然一片空白 为自己白痴而重新获得观影悬念大大点赞
改到我差點沒想起來原著是什麼樣。艾米錘和加多在公共場合play我想插我雙眼
几个故事的口味都特别重。爆头，挖眼，解剖样样都有，跟第二部差不多。但是第三个故事的真实性比较低但是创意不错，像是恐怖版的《硬核亨利》。喜欢恐怖片的可以看看，，，
经典推理片怎么还变成动作片了呢？？我真是如坐针毡，昏昏欲睡！！毁我经典MD
