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".
受限于成本，场景不大，属于箱庭式的格局，但表现出的场面不小，再加上动作顺畅，观感还是不错的，打光和场景设置都不错，有质感。一个小时左右的时间正好，不多不少。
浪费了这么好的题材，卢靖姗的身上有很多可以被挖掘的细节都没有展现，更多的镜头给了潮汕地区的风土人情，而没有和剧情更紧密的联系，妈妈这个角色是不错，但也只是前半段比较好，后面有点塌下去，导演再加油吧。
问一旁的我妈"你能接受我娶外地而且离过婚的回家？""接受不了""那你还说人家封建？"
之前看到评价说很直男啥的，还有些担心。看完发现是多虑了，男主的确挺直男，但整部电影的气质还是真诚细腻的。而且感觉男主在整部电影中并不重要，只是文化冲突的边境和支点，是婆媳关系的催生者。映后送的周边红糖肚脐饼真的很好吃！
初看潮语电影，稍稍尬住几分钟后渐入佳境。没有硬尬的剧情，表演可圈可点，很街头巷尾，看不出“演”的痕迹。演“妈妈”的素人演员演得真好，完全能hold住。
故事虽然不是特别差，但也绝算不上好。费用有限，质感在网大里中等偏上的不多。可惜了谢苗，泥潭里打滚，一身功夫，只不过演了两集《长安十二时辰》体量的丐版张小敬。
很简单的一部电影，没有什么剧情，也基本没讲什么东西。但是看得我好感动，眼泪哗啦哗啦的。可能是“妈妈”太过自然太过真实了
谢苗又又又又来了。
开头的「十步杀一人 千里不留行」，对应了结尾的「事了拂衣去 深藏身与名」，导演读懂了李白《侠客行》的浪漫。居然只有74分钟，一气呵成地看完。网络大电影里的难得佳作，运镜台词和服化道算是用心、再加上谢苗一身干净利落的真功夫，一点都不输现在动辄就大制作的武侠片。捉刀人，顾名思义就是江湖人士替州县代缉法外之徒以求悬赏，捉到办事 用命换钱。「目中无人，心有公道。」一身好武艺的捉刀人成瞎子一心为帮酒铺灭门案的酒娘报仇，既是为了答谢她喜宴的一坛美酒之恩、也是为了秉持心中的正义。虽然故事情节简单 但少了些阴谋论的弯弯绕绕、反而看得非常畅快。从当年《新少林五祖》里的小洪文定 到现在的侠客硬汉，谢苗像电影中饰演的捉刀人一样，一直默默地在做自己觉得对的事，他的成稳低调不应该成为他被淹没的理由，期待看到他更多的好电影。
张彻内核的复仇武侠片，有座头市的影子，故事简单，一路杀杀杀，可以说是网大制作天花板了。
算是了解到了不找外地人的潮汕文化，接地气。拜老爷，唱戏，很有意思。简单不做作的故事。
包容接纳，对于一家人来说是和美的唯一至关重要
“以后叫你去看电影就容易多啦”
功名无趣，坛酒散千金；
预告片不错，有点盲侠和带子独狼的味道。谢苗适合演这种亦正亦邪的角色。擦擦擦 占满银幕的硕大汉字片名 盲人剑客的设定，好熟悉的风格。 有可能的话出前传吧。一定捧场。
目中无人，正义心中存；
故人一杯酒，万里相揖送。风雪夜杀人，白刃血纷纷
在娱乐片冲刺着流量面孔，浓妆艳抹的影视中，该片充斥着真实感，事件，人物，习俗，爱情等与现实接近，这一点很难得。
这个电影告诉我们，电影的简单制作并不难，符合基本的文学戏剧规律、美术音乐服化道团队正常到位，就可以。依然能获得网友好评。只有当团队完全为了规律以外的东西、毫不在意侮辱观众尊严这件事而操作时，烂才开始没有边际。
盲眼“捉刀人”的设定真的很戳我，正所谓“侠之大者，为国为民”，成瞎子眼盲心不盲，怀揣一腔孤勇，凭借一身绝技，守着心中侠道，践行人世正义。一瞬间，竟让我感觉那个武侠百花齐放的时代好像又回来了。世间多心盲之人，笑侠者蚍蜉撼大树，但幸好还有成瞎子这样的侠者存在，他们在，公道就在。敬江湖，敬侠者。
