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".
故事就那么回事，在哪拍的景这么美，加半星，3.5
导演的审美比较在线，怪物的设定也比较新颖，雾蒙蒙的灰色调画风和小男孩的演技撑起了前半部分，但剧情较弱，结尾也太敷衍了，实属高开低走
【C+】质感类似于《黑森灵》，但是其内容却十分匮乏。没有内涵的故事，没有深意的对话，也没有推进的动力，只有空洞的摄影和「惊鸿一瞥」的怪物设计还可圈可点，如果放在分段式恐怖片中的话应该还是很不错的。
男孩一家本来就是食人魔?那触发变身的原因呢？
所有的恐怖和惊吓元素对我来说都是极度过时与无效的，这种好莱坞传统恐怖类型片已经走到墙角了。
卢卡斯和茱莉都好惨，不仅父母都死了，卢卡斯弟弟也死了，茱莉的哥哥也中招了。都没有调查清楚这个东西会不会传染就去救人，真的会杀敌一千自损八百的啊……
1425【谷阿莫】這種長著鹿角的巨型怪物，喜歡寄生在人類體內，再狂嗑生肉來撐爆人體2021《鹿角》#暖冬电影季##金牌解说#
no 大失所望 光有怪物没有好好讲故事 然后那么大BOSS就凭女主光环解决了
恐怖片导演永远有着足够惊艳的视觉审美 然而这个本子连三流编剧都写不出来这么俗的 求求不要什么人类 动物都开始丧尸化了 我要看鬼 单纯的活生生的鬼
题材不错，画风也比较喜欢就是太暗了，这个剧情和运镜哦...
五分吧，就是那种藏着掖着不让你看怪物，试图遮遮掩掩为了体现怪物有多可怕，任何人碰见都要死。偏偏被没有任何经验的女主和小孩一次杀死。
在豆瓣要本着三星恐怖片要多加一星的原则。。
太过于珍惜鹿魔的形象设置，迟迟不肯正面呈现，试图在最后一刻给观众以有效的视觉冲击，可惜由于本身的设置并非多么震撼，这么做既无法给到观众应有的刺激又失去了前期恐怖氛围的营造。剧本漏洞颇多，想当然的部分也很多。牺牲品可以被一击毙命，主角们则可以化险为夷，轻松反杀，这种水平的剧本实在是令人嫌恶。｜4.0
怪物没出现的时候，还挺有氛围感
一星给景色。衰败的矿区，晦暗的天空，半山腰上的雾。
制毒贩毒的一家 vs. 被性侵的圣母bitch，知道导演想说堕落的地方被毒品搞的人不是人，但也太磨叽了
……..预告片好有气氛的样子，可是正片实在太无聊太无聊了……
怪物的造型和场景氛围很好/海报设计好，剧情崩，基本符合我的心理预期。比较让我消化不良的设定是，这个故事里的魔不是一个可以被摧毁的具象的物体，也不是一个可以造成传染的变异病菌，而是一个抓不住的神话，一个宿主被摧毁，它会马不停蹄地去寻找下一个。对我来说这个设定不是高光点，而是败笔，因为它让我无法对这个故事产生合理的想象或者期待。
黑糊糊的镜头减弱了血腥感，鹿角人脸怪兽有点想法，但跟环保扯上关系太刻意。女主比男人还猛的人设略夸张。
幽灵公主里边那个神和这个是一回事儿？这是要复制一个异形1的女性主义英雄套路。ps ：buck110是把除魔好刀
