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".
故事是父子情+灾难救援，徒手攀岩和跳直升机不太真实，让人感动的是朱一龙和黄志忠细腻的演技。
从头到尾就是专业的人不干专业的事.....隧道工程师最后跑去徒手攀岩，山间跑酷？
如果特效真一点，父子感情不那么尬，男主能够肉体凡胎一点，攀岩的时候能带上装备，我可以打4星
单位组织去看的 有可取之处 但突显的还是个人英雄主义 bug太多
1.演员表演无可挑剔，很有影响力，很有共情
挺感人的也挺动容的，但就感觉在编排上差点意思，每次情绪快到一个点的时候马上就会被打回来，看的又感人又堵心
这部剧对于注意力不集中，时不时唠会嗑，看会手机的人非常友好。因为整体剧本和专场流畅性是有问题的。铁道部支持的剧跟红海行动，烈火营救一类的片子一样得到了老戏骨的加持，客串的演员整体提升了演技，主演演技也没有拉胯。配乐还行，中国技术还是无法支撑起绿幕的真实性，所以实拍和绿幕是完全不同的两种观感。主旋律节奏在可接受范围内。整部剧最大的问题就是剧本，其实可以从一个引言分出几条故事线洪翼舟的探测，女朋友的救援，工程部爆破等等交织在一起，共同并进最后再会聚在一起，但明显在叙事和转场上有割裂感。东西太多，太杂，很多人物是不丰满的，灾难片如果想多线叙事，把故事铺垫好最好还是需要接近三小时的时长，要不太多太杂的东西只会让人感觉莫名其妙。
前半段剧情紧张，人物形象真实，特效给力；后半段就有点拉胯了，剧情也好，特效也罢，还有人物表现都开始有点莫名其妙的没在一个水准上，有点可惜。不过作为半个火车迷，还是很惊叹这个构思的。打了十多年才通的火车隧道，摆在轨道边的集市，都很有云南特色。
这年头山体落石也能人体描边了，我怀疑这车没装安全气囊；自行车三轮车对撞是有多大冲击力啊，还能往两边飞穿越护栏的；看朱一龙表演下雨天徒手单手爬峭壁，爸爸突然出现在峭壁上除了闪现我想不到别的方法了；乔振宇死得好快，天妒红颜
# 78 Venezia # 背景补充（每天四部排片坚持到第四天就会出现一个精神低谷期，所以此时看到的影片评价都会体现出非常强的偏差性，恰巧这部片就赶上了这个低谷期），因此虽然这是一部高质量具有各种业内讽刺梗的佳片，我却完全没有get到，因此给了三星是最保守的评价，克鲁兹和班德拉斯其实都发挥的特别好，需要院线上映后二刷
带儿子一起看的iMax版，难得小子也认真看完了。国产灾难片拍成这样很难得了，有几个地方感动得泪目了，中国铁兵和建设者太伟大了。
整体还是不错的歌颂为人民的主旋律，主角Buff加持严重，突降暴雨山体那么滑 ，我们的主角仿佛指腹有吸盘徒手就能攀爬本事不小！特效方面要是再逼真点就更好了！低于预期了哈！#电影 #峰爆
一般般吧，有几个镜头确实挺震撼的，但后面特效太差了，最后明明要累得死去突然一个鲤鱼翻身给吓到了，这逻辑吗，不吧。再给一次选择，去不去电影院看，不了吧
向可敬可爱的铁道兵致敬！
剧情单薄，但演技是真的很好，为了我们伟大的铁道兵，希望大家去看看
豆瓣网友都这么严格吗……除了特效水平实在有点差，其他各种意义上都算是不错的片子。
在主旋律这个范畴下，不比战狼2差。（一个是战争片，一个是灾难片，只能横向比较）
中规中矩，强行煽情，有些情节挺尬的，灾难场面还是少了点
2.制作就更不用说了，震撼人心
第一时间看了点映，全程高能，特效牛逼，朱一龙演技炸裂让我刮目相看了。只是女主线有点多余了，两个人在一起的对手戏还没有朱一龙跟小陶红的多……
