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".
和“好看”两个字完全不沾边，偷盗题材，你哪怕依葫芦画瓢抄个《罗汉》这样的经典，也不至于这么难看。全程没有一处体现团队的智慧，几个金库不费什么力气就全部拿下了，而且最高潮的开锁戏份展现得太平淡了，根本没有表现出困难性和紧迫感。全片唯一惊喜的就是弥桑黛的几个造型还都挺好看的。
确实一般般，前期设定很有吸引力，但并不太喜欢这种英国夸张式表演风格，另外，导演选演员的眼光真不咋滴，尤其是女主。
剧情有其可取之处，开保险箱和尼伯龙根的指环拉上关系还是让人感兴趣的，可惜，也就只有这些了，毕竟娱乐片关键还是要节奏，而且还是在男女主角本身魅力还不足的情况下。

比起女主，我倒是更喜欢女二那种独特的俏皮，整个故事行云流水，又不失紧张感，非常棒！
但是整体故事很弱，神没有，偷一点。
支离破碎的剧情 人物性格和关系也不太有特色 门的设计还可以 以及像是狼叔和小雀斑的组合hhh
作为商业动作爽片还是可以的，全程都想往下看，尤其是男主开锁的那种感觉，享受啊，当然浮夸哈
主要是串起全剧的动机太过于没有说服力了，显得全剧都非常像小孩子过家家
除掉我的扎粉滤镜，其实正传《活死人军团》毛病非常多，剧本时而反智，角色之间情感描写无比生硬，剩下的也就个动作戏我认为保持了扎导一贯水准。
动作戏好 不女流 剧情烂，还以为一路爽呢，总看你两很尬的样子
由于是导演+主角，就给自己设定一个从无名小卒到大师的苦情戏。情节及傻，银行抢得也不专业。最后一大师的作品就随随便便找上你一个无名小锁匠，毫无信服力。
比《活死人军团》好看，各方面都好看；作为类型片就很一般了，不说和《XX罗汉》比吧，和《瞒天过海美人计》比都要差一点。
为啥要份上下部？(இдஇ;) 原来是前传😓
女主颜值高，男主智商高。希望再拍一部僵尸军团的后传
还行，因为没看前作所以觉得整体还是不错的～但就是这个不拍第二部了吗？诸神黄昏啥的不破了？
扎导变僵尸了所以是僵尸版扎导用僵尸脑子拍了这部电影嘛？还有尼古拉斯凯奇和布莱克皮特意淫出来的小孩为啥像金刚狼？
就是爽片，看到最后没进度条了我想这还有一个保险柜没打开呢来不及了呀。看了大家的评论才明白了，那个是前面一部的内容，但是我看过都不记得了。就像我为啥要写一堆啰嗦话，是我过一个月就不记得了，但是我标记一下就能想起来我看过
男主的表演太有穿透力！看的时候别喝水，不知道什么时候就会呛到你……和前几天看的【失控玩家】一样，都是讲的小人物大梦想的故事。导演很聪明，充分收获了小人物的大市场。初识女主是在权游龙妈的身边，这次的霸气不再侧漏，而是直接喷薄而出，好看！伤感的结尾深刻地描述了爱的基础是相信……为了最大化的票房，里面没有一个18禁的镜头，这才是成熟商业片该有的姿态！扎克施耐德讲的故事，不错！尽管痛恨剧透，还是忍不住想透露一个“小鹿斑比”的梗……有哭有笑的好片！期待续集！
还算不错，剧情比较老套简单，好在演员颜值不错，演技在线。最精彩的是保险箱内齿轮转动，层层机关契合而推进的场面，华丽流畅，比起剧情更加吸引眼球，为这个多➕一星。
