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".
看到很多提前预警，加上一向神烦布拉纳，没打算看这片来的，但是毕竟久未远行了，想在大银幕上看看埃及，知道是做出来的视效，也还是想看。布拉纳当然一直那么爱现，但比在东方快车里的超级过度表演还是略有收敛的。剧本改得呀，简直了，每个人的出现都那么牵强，尤其波洛居然会去帮操纵欲老母亲暗中考察儿子的女朋友，而且波洛居然会和那样没出息的妈宝啃老富二代成为好朋友，这都是不可接受的设定啊！最后活下来的，一个个儿出身纯正，肤色性向天然政治正确，快赶上文革时候的出身论三突出了。还是再看一遍78版吧，那是真埃及，真阿婆啊。
给波洛加什么二战前史的做法，简直太狗屎了，Kenneth Branagh也是过分自恋，这演的根本就不是我们波洛！
这部电影的眼神都给神奇女侠和古埃及了，案件实在简单，没有任何惊喜，但比《东方列车》好看点。阿加莎的本格故事经典有余，悬念不足，其实适合拍连续剧。
完全没看过原著和老版，所以我的四星既给小说也给电影。没啥让人眼前一亮的点，但也十分值得一看。虽然时代感在廉价的背景渲染中消散殆尽，但优秀的故事从不挑剔舞台。可惜的是推理部分过于平庸，甚至可以说毫无悬念，完全靠精彩的情节撑起故事。总体观感和有趣程度高于《东方快车》，可惜选角溃败。 肯尼思大叔不愧是话剧界的天王，拍戏手法如此古典，可以说完全不给人留一丝期待了（参见豆瓣《贝尔法斯特》条目）建议您退休之前还是回到话剧舞台吧，争取退休前整个爵士头衔。
请迪士尼速速放弃这个系列like how you gave up X-Men，莫要再当福斯的冤大头接盘侠。
真诚希望Kenneth Branagh可以别再演波洛了，也希望他别再导电影了…我承认可能是我对他有很大偏见，从去年贝尔法斯特到这个我真的蛮无语的。他的野心真的很大，他的导演作品和演技都给我一种在不停炫技的感觉，有一种强大的自恋型人格笼罩着这部电影，可能真的只是我个人偏见吧，但是我真的不是很喜欢，真的太难受了，以及那个胡子，我的天啊，真的要命！！！
比东方快车的翻拍，多那么一点看头。加朵作为人人得而诛之的受害者，没演出坏来。黑人姐姐很会撩，但跟波罗毫无化学反应。劝导演早日悔改，不再自恋，不要再继续翻拍了
关于波洛在一战的前情也让人摸不着头脑
想吐，不是因为画面血腥而是伪纪录片的拍摄手法画面不停地晃动，晃得我头晕眼花😵💫上一个有强烈“想吐”感觉的电影是娄烨的《冼村》，看完以后堪比晕车。可能晕车体质的人对晃动的画面比较敏感……第二个片段的机械人是唯一的看点，比较有意思
导演太自恋了，跟第一部的毛病一样，波洛毫无侦探特质
爱情使人疯狂，当你拥有太多财富的时候，你可能失去所有朋友。阿加莎的故事都一个套路，原著三星，电影改编不功不过吧。
终究是拍了一出好莱坞春晚。金碧辉煌的日光衬着爵士乐不说还以为是《一步之遥》，整个剧作跟前作一模一样。吹了半天的胶片机拍摄结果CG感爆表。盖尔•加朵闯荡好莱坞那么多年还是没突破作为演员的瓶颈期，比老“琳内特”在《007之太空城》的气质尚差得远。至少加朵贡献的表演很难让我相信这个琳内特是一个扬言要买下整个埃及的富婆。如果没有肯尼在视听语言上的那些小功夫，只会更折磨人。
我真的觉得，当年选肯尼斯布拉纳演吉德罗洛哈特非常合适，他真的太自恋了吧？而且怎么又有黑豹她妹妹，演技那么差还老演聪明绝顶的人？？布鲁斯我从来没有像今天一样觉得那么聒噪。
整体来看中规中矩，第二个守灵的故事挺有氛围，第三个机械实验的故事也是有这意思的，第一视角有游戏的爽感。
有人众筹把这个波洛探长丢进尼罗河里吗？我出十块，不能再多了。
虽然一直在剪切但还是感觉节奏太慢了。那应该是叙事的问题了
反转挺有意思，一切都展示给观众了，但是需要一点儿化学或者美术知识才能注意到。遗憾之处在于请了盖尔加朵，但是既没有展示她的力量感，妆容也没有展示她的美。另外感觉前中期有很多环节不完整，是因为时长缘故被删减了吗？
可以但没必要系列。演杰奎琳的那个演员明显就是制片方本想请玛格特·罗比但钱没到位找的备胎吧哈哈哈！最后推理巴啦啦讲这么快是生怕我们看过原版吗？！
阿加莎·克里斯蒂和她的《尼罗河上的惨案》，在推理界的含金量不言而喻。我已经几乎忘了幼时读《尼罗河上的惨案》的细节，索性就当一次非原著党 重新跟着阿婆来一次埃及探险吧。据说，1933年她和女儿、丈夫沿着尼罗河旅行，成为了《尼罗河上的惨案》的灵感来源。看了一些原著党的评论，其实故事整体框架没变、杀人手法和细节也没变，但即便如此，也无法改变这是一部平庸的推理电影。看完之后并没有通快到要拍大腿的感觉、更没有对案件或人性揭露的惋惜遗憾，很平静地花了两个小时看完，然后轻呼了一口气：「It’s finished.」一艘行驶在尼罗河上的豪华游艇，原本承载着一趟充满亲友祝福的蜜月之旅，可未曾想却酿成了一场连环杀人案。船上的每个人看似都有杀人动机、但似乎又有巧妙的不在场证据。排除了所有的不可能，剩下的无论有多么荒谬 都是真相。
其实作为看柯南长大的人来说，各种作案手法、作案动机基本上都看得差不多了，尼罗河这个推理故事能留下来的原因大概是因为爱情，毕竟人心是最难测的，当然这都要归功于原著。
