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".
我觉得有点小浮夸，不过喜欢这个设定，其实设定挺好的，地球线也挺有真实感觉的。
要求不要高，疫情期间在家打发个时间还是可以的。
“但这次我试着把它写成三部曲，我想如果我拍续集，我会让它更像《星球大战》的原作，第二部会有巨大的悬念。”听听罗兰·艾默里奇的野心！脑洞是开得够大了，从地球飞上了月球，可惜逻辑和表现力都跟不上。视觉特效的确壮观，不过由于《后天》和《2012》珠玉在前，故并没有引起震撼。
可视作赘婿的番外篇，本来营养不多，是典型的屌丝逆袭爽片，而番外则更用力在「情」上，经商爽感削弱不少。
一般，十几年前的拯救套路，套上个科幻壳而已。
男主表演可以，女主也没有掉线，节奏有些拖沓，只能快进 主题营造还是不错的
支持下主创团队，其实是那么简单纯真的理念：“世界看不起我我就要努力证明自己，而成功与否似乎不那么重要，在向前的过程中，我还是和依然是咸鱼的自己和解”，但还是能感受到十足的相信，十足的相信之外还有几分成功学的算计，气质又蠢又灵，憨态让人摸头，这就叫做天真功利的成功学吧。
带着看灾难片的心情去看这部电影实在是失望，剧情尬出天际。 74th with Tao. ——2022.03.26 @朝阳门博纳
额，设定还是有点。。扯了吧。。视觉效果还是蛮好的~ 好久没见过哈莉贝瑞啦，曾经的暴风女好怀念啊~~ AI设定其实过于扯淡了。。。都特娘的星际殖民了，居然被自己的AI干掉了。。你说可笑不可笑？？不要拿现在的认知去揣测未来的人嘛。。
没有郭麒麟和宋可爱的赘婿番外。仿佛看到了互联网人特别是电商人的freelance：带着行话拍电影。开玩笑啦开玩笑啦，隔行如隔山的。
在互联网巨头眼里，专利权算个p，抄袭更是家常便饭。
个人英雄主义的把其他人和机构搞成负值了，讲不通。但我喜欢帕特里克。
4星献给致敬的光晕 普罗米修斯 和林奇先生，还有魔兽世界《What Makes Us Strong》0343
对于月球的想象还是有点意思的 但整个剧情逻辑也太随便了（（（
在互联网巨头眼里，专利权算个p，抄袭更是家常便饭。
纵观该导演的特效灾难大片，从《独立日》的初次尝鲜，到《后天》的炉火纯青，再到《2012》的登峰造极，什么大场面都见过的观众，导演现如今却只拍出一部中规中矩的《月球陨落》摆在观众面前，就有点略显尴尬和保守了，剧情走向和人物互动平淡无奇有点老套，AI人工智能和人造月球的设定尚可。3⭐全给特效，毕竟灾难片就是冲着特效来的，别整那么多无关痛痒的人物剧情拖时间，撞就完了！感觉国产《流浪地球》都比它强一些。
剧本是按需现编的吗？玩笑一般的松散，荒唐，无序。
挺后悔没去电影院看的，这片子的剧情那是比智障还智障，演员表演比木头还木头 可是特效算是这两年我看过最满意的。月球撞地球的那个特效真的是每一帧都很美。熬过前一个小时弱智的剧情可以看到很美的特效。
最后总有一个人选择牺牲自己保存大家，保存地球，保存文明与希望。
幸好Carl Sagan看不到这片子，不然会被气死。
