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".
姐弟俩都没问题，那个住客渣男太渣了，甚至于男主的老师虽然非好感但最后哭那里，让人觉得他们的孤独，女主独立自强很好，在那个国家那个年代，都不容易。
还能再扯淡一点吗 这不是个娘们 这是个壁虎
印度版call me by ur name，画面很美，非常做作，可是又浪漫得不得了，在河边接吻做爱睡了一觉，早上醒来发现身边有一只大象，妈呀这样做作的戏码超符合我口味，满分可以二刷
性少数群体和女性在印度面临的困境，本来是可以好好挖掘的题材，偏偏要东施效颦去学Call me by your name，然后就搞得很做作很小家子气。不过喀拉拉邦风景真是太美了，疫情之后想去旅行。
Beckett.2021.1080p.NF.WEB-DL.x265.10bit.HDR.DDP5.1-AGLET
小成本影棚绿幕拍出的惊悚片，攀岩过程中的对决还是蛮有看头，虽然题材老套了点。
租客走后的剧情我还蛮喜欢的。 租客的有些观点也挺好的，但伤害人这部分除外。
看完之后觉得爱情的部分并不是很动人 甚至不是本片的重点 在印度这样的父权社会 女人和同性恋的命运都不能掌握在自己手上 甚至还通过Michael Jackson这个形象符号来表现男主和世俗的对立 通过与同一个男人的爱恋 姐弟俩觉醒了自由的意识 姐姐更加坚强去追求梦想 弟弟也终于写出了自己的小说 都逃出了封建家庭 表现手法很艺术 构图很美 但叙事让人看得不太舒服
3.5🌟整个故事的节奏还蛮好的，影像风格写实中又带着些许欧洲文艺范儿，小屁民因为一场意外女友死了自己被卷入阴谋一路追杀，要我我也干他全家，坎妹真心打酱油
个人评分6分（主观影评、不喜勿喷）
如何把一句话能讲清楚的故事水成一个半小时的惊悚片？
只不过其中一段经历碰巧与CMBYN重合，而同缘不同命的结果又让人分外遗憾。在被歌舞元素轰到麻木后，终于有一部电影让人想起印度也曾经拥有泰戈尔。电影里的诗歌都是导演自己写的，真心不错。
这个女主颜值好，身材辣，过程还蛮惊心的，很喜欢～还8错～推荐一下。
这片子节奏太差了，开篇就很拖沓，24分钟，弃剧。
很久没看动作惊悚了…我是越来越喜欢john david了，爱屋及乌
从头到尾都有不合理之处，不修细节的老派逃亡片，可是“老派”同时也很勾人，从配乐出现的时机，摇移镜头巧妙的暗示，到讽刺意味浓厚的文本构成，都让故事更富魅力与余味，削去一些主角光环会更好，至少是能够容忍bug的程度。
讲述了女主惊觉闺蜜被反社会男宝所杀，男宝召集伙伴穷追不舍试图消灭证据，最后因内斗降智被女主反杀逃出生天的故事。
生肉啃完，唯一能看的只有中间那段白天的攀爬戏，反派全程智商为负，明明可以慢慢耗却急不可耐接力作死，夜间特效太假，求婚那段没有感人只有搞笑
那一夜男主辗转反侧，跑到那一个男人的床前看着他，在镜子前亲吻自己，抚摸自己的身体。还有两人骑着自行车，在湖边做爱。这两个片段特别美。
最后也不能说这是抄袭…从小说的出版年份来看，钴蓝爱恋比cmbyn还要早一年，碰瓷了吧属于是。
