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".
剧情改得太牵强，整体节奏也非常跳脱很难带入情绪。凯尔莫罕的毁灭本可拍成更为壮美的悲剧的，本片看起来却更像是一个被猎魔人毁掉童年的女术士闹别扭引发的大乱斗，说实话维瑟米尔的形象也没太立得起来。但打斗还算好看，与青梅竹马多年后再见依然坚贞的爱情与月光下的那一吻还是很动人的。PS.法印加强太多，猎魔人都要变术士了
反派死于自大+迟疑，血腥版的史密斯夫妇，很cult的大爽片，very eye-catching。
事实证明，只要拍的好大家也就没那么介意吃书不吃书了。把那种选谁都是错的无奈感拍的这么到位，可以说是巫师味儿十足了。
十分优秀的动作设计和剧本
这里的猎魔人强得没边了，游戏里只能发小火苗的伊格尼法印在这里都能毁天灭地了。相比之下亨利版的gay骆驼真的弱啊。
猎魔人前传
年轻的维瑟米尔比白狼还要帅，那场在游戏、小说中被无数次提起的凯尔莫罕大屠杀也展现得非常精彩。
挪威人真会玩！血浆乱飞，黑色幽默，结局脑洞大开，哈哈，真是春节假期看的最有趣的一部电影！！就是男主弱鸡，一直吐槽一直吐！！
这剧本就算拿到CDPR的游戏里当一个DLC也是相当不俗的剧情了。故事充满了猎魔人系列一贯的忧伤和美感。仇恨的锁链一环一环，彼此紧紧咬合，牢不可破。最终属于旧时代的一切的都将消逝，精灵、怪物、猎魔人…最后轮到人类。
想来也是很多年没有看过如此cult的片了。并且好像不排斥并且还挺享受。导演的一些梗埋得挺有意思，老爷子真是霸气王者风范，人生就该如此吧。
剧本和真人TV版同是Beau DeMayo……所以这个维瑟米尔的主要重心是跟杰洛特一样遇到怪物解决事件，并且找到怪物的真正来源，光有怪物事件只是普通的支线（这个真的十分普通，虽然杀杀杀，却缺乏原著和游戏描绘杀戮中各方冲突的复杂原色），然后填上很长的闪回来挖掘维瑟米尔的童年，用一定篇幅展现了培养猎魔人的青草试炼，这些可能会让原著和游戏Fans感到兴奋。说明了维瑟米尔如何长成势利轻浮的猎魔人之后，故事进行中很多地方看得出节奏不好，还有跟原著设定有相矛盾的时候，比如说，维瑟米尔其实比凯尔莫罕还老，后面才有法师带领一群憎恨猎魔人的人血洗凯尔莫罕，维瑟米尔因为不在城里才成为狼学派最后的大师……不过无所谓。从另一种角度的故事看待The Witcher世界非人怪物和扭曲人类以及不是东西的猎魔人还是可以的。
作为原作和游戏党，对此表示相当愤怒和失望。比电视剧集还要烂，这是什么狗屁作画，既然你不还原人物和怪物，不遵从原作和游戏设定，这就已经不再是猎魔人，只是一部乏善可陈的超英动画。网飞一贯的只会飙血和残肢的视觉效果，让我更加腻味。人物设计上已经到了可以震怒的地步，光头杰洛特，贝克汉姆客串维瑟米尔，真有你的啊。
后半段真的是开始好看了，前面各种桥段后面都有对应，看着又疼又欢乐
各种屎尿血浆乱喷还蛮带感的，不过这光头也太耐打了点，还是应该让女主也承担一点伤害啊~
如果你能接受美漫的那种画风，真的是一部很好看的剧场动画。内容很像前传风格，猎魔人的起源跟诞生。
艹……最后那个光头小孩居然是gay骆驼……太艹了太艹了
最重要的是完整复现了游戏中从一而终的气质，Witcher的世界没有好也没有坏，只有无常的命运和无法逃避的遗憾。
艹……最后那个光头小孩居然是gay骆驼……太艹了太艹了
白狼前传。老头还是纯情少年。交手太果断了，一刀断头。好久没玩游戏看见个妖灵水鬼都觉得亲切。
不太喜欢这个故事，猎魔人制造怪物给自己杀这个思路还是太诡异了，如果怪物没了要赚钱大陆上想买他们服务的人可不少，别说他们打破各种禁忌都不能打破不介入政治的禁忌
