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".
南韩男女偶像团体成员大型再就业现场，好歹把持住了颜值。作为短片集显然不及格，故事老套，特效廉价，十个短片毫无特色，边吃边看毫无压力。如果《怪奇宅》值三星这片子也就一点五星。
隧道爬出皮箱女，红连衣裙老同学，一人迷藏吃掉你，四眼变态爬出柜，隔壁艳遇异空间，牙虫入脑变丧尸，塑料模特多一个，密室逃脱堆骨骸，自拍整容裂嘴笑……创意点和关联性都为零的老梗合集，远不如导演前作《韩国都市怪谈》
没头没尾的一惊一乍的故事组合。不过这电影让我感觉到韩国老龄化问题一点都不严重😂
有几个特别好的主题，被糟烂的表现手法拉垮崩盘。毫无记忆点的鬼魂设计，浮夸的惊吓套路，使得以城市为主题蕴含的都市怪谈在一惊一乍的表现中完全徒有其表，就如同棒国没有历史长河积累沉淀的文化基底一样，这些鬼故事怪谈也如同廉价的快餐寡淡无味。
1.8 资料馆 经历过拆迁 算是有些感同身受了
十个剧组的会操练兵，也不错，精气神都挺足的，至少喊的不错，牙医变异时抽搐那几下也很像样，科技特效感再少一点就更好了。
一共120分钟，塞进去十个故事，齿虫，密室逃脱等可以好好扩充一下，应该会不错。
有些刻意的诡异和老套的剧情，唯一的好处就是短篇形式了，让人可以没有负罪感地开倍速。期待很高，但是看完之后只想说两个字，就这?
好闺蜜死后用约定咒语召回然后互换了
一堆零碎老故事， 不吓人看着也乱。有几个极其无聊。
纯粹的吓人
PYIFF2021，很私人的拍摄视角，有些镜头比如最后的手持感觉可以找到更好的角度，情绪很满。其实没有带着期待，但还挺喜欢的
就一个牙科那个能看。2022-5-22 17:13:19

由没头没尾一惊一乍不明就里的小学生才会人口相传的10个小故事串联而成。 各个故事应该分别叫： 1. 男精神病 2. 不知哪得罪人了就突然嗝儿屁 3. 丧尸穿新衣 4. 不知为啥自我了断但舔个脸又要复活 5. 打酱油的漂亮女邻居 6. 男变态 7. 我国巫术走出国门 8. 女精神病 9. 莫名其妙但是还行 10. 莫名其妙也不咋地 还有谁也是被人体模特那张宣传海报骗进来的。有这俩小时，出去吃顿烧烤好不好。
救那个大命，本来觉得《齿虫》章节还行的，结果又变成了丧尸片。和之前的《韩国都市怪谈》大同小异，每一个故事发展得都挺让我意外的，呃，是意外的俗烂那种。刚开始有点好感，结果又给结局憋回去了，这么一对比感觉《怪奇宅》都顺眼多了。现在的营销号也是，怎么连这种质量的电影都要炒作。。。。
看多了就免疫了，一般吧，模特那个还凑合，够怪异。其它没什么新意！
我还挺喜欢都市怪谈的，不过这一部感觉没有之前出的怪奇宅好看
好烂好无聊，我都能猜到它要怎么吓我！！(但是帅哥美女看着挺养眼
主要是想看看柬埔寨的城市风貌，没想到是这么私人化的影像表达。看起来没法不困。
