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".
DC现在真就超英古龙，拿几个“黑暗”“反英雄”IP就能炒一辈子的单元剧，低魔超能力（或者叫“低能”？）对标李寻欢们不见首尾的神功，但并没有古龙那种写意短句和复杂故事的威力。我的评价是，不如《末日巡逻队》
这系列看疲了，整体观感一部不如一部，追忆篇完全是剑戟片外壳的爱情片，主旨完全服务于剑心和雪代巴的恩怨情仇，非常无聊，而且这俩在我看来毫无cp感。剑心的面瘫脸配上如同瞎子一般的表情，传说中精彩的武术并没有太多篇幅。
作为整个系列的前传，算是填补了绯村剑心的背景故事，虽然和原漫画相比，肯定要进行一些删减（比如没有古收留剑心的剧情，比如关于白梅香的整体删除），部分人物也进行了一定改编（比如桂小五郎在人设上更加的政治化），也少了一些经典的内容（比如对于剑鞘的比喻），但是故事本身还是很优秀的，尤其是女主不但贴合漫画，而且人设与故事延伸都十分不错，在最后为了剑心而牺牲一切时，也十分令人触动，最后的名场面唯美又很凄凉，就连打斗也进行了去高潮化，唯一的问题可能就是最后那些打斗中，好几个人都死得有些尴尬，尤其是明明是要诱惑剑心进入陷阱，结果却完全没等对方入瓮就拉炸弹炸自己的，真的是……不过整体来说完成度相当高，写实而悲壮，也更能凸显男主的无力感。
这又是大时代下最波澜壮阔的一段历史，新撰组、池田屋事件、桂小五郎与高杉晋作等历史事件或人物相继登场。
第一部分开头与第五部的结尾遥相呼应，第五部也是对前四部的补完
当初就是为了村花看的。。。从头到尾才看见村花。。。
唯一的缺点应该是女主...头大得像戴了假发...
《追忆篇》完成了对绯村剑心形象的补完，他的不恭与自在，脱胎于血与火的摧残以及永逝挚爱后的大悲。
幕末时期，长州藩与萨摩藩组成萨长同盟，为讨幕运动的中心。后来的明治维新时期，长州藩政治家形成了藩阀政治中占主导地位的“长州阀”。吉田松阴门下：伊藤博文、木户孝允（桂小五郎）、高杉晋作、山县有朋。时至现代，长州山口县出身的政治家仍长期把持日本政府。例如岸信介、佐藤荣作、安倍晋三等，山口县出身的内阁总理大臣达9位，居各都道府县之冠。
在我看来整部浪客剑心就是为了塑造雪代巴这一个角色。动画电影版无可超越。
而这一次是真的再见了。
对日本倒幕时期的历史了解主要来自于银魂，所以背景看得不是太明白…好在电影主要讲的是主角的爱情故事，出道时的剑心砍人真暴力。
就很像银护，每个人都半瓶子水咣当，但是都狂拽酷炫吊炸天，但是脑子又都不太好，但是又都走狗屎运，但是也都好可爱，包括派大星。口感非常不DC，但是足够上头，但是又显得扎克辛德就非常土包子了。
看第一部的时候一直觉得佐藤健的剑心有点扑克脸，不够还原原漫，结果到完结篇的时候也看得热血沸腾，追忆篇更是开场就鸡皮疙瘩，虽然少了第一次看动漫版时的震撼，但依旧是最强漫改中的最强篇。
应该是看过最好的漫改真人电影。
海星死前看到的是自己以前在太空中漂浮看到的星星，它觉得很快乐😭
恶趣味大爆炸但挠得很爽，前半段的笑话有点太干了，但后半段大爆发就在线了，请继续往这条路努力DC。
不得不说，这么多年期望已经放的很低了，打斗场景拍的实在太好了，也算是给自己年轻时追过的漫画一个交代吧
真·DCEU目前最好电影，露JJ露MM，脑浆四溢，少儿不宜。剧情好看，音乐好听，坐等OST。血腥搞笑反套路，搞怪中透着浪漫，每个角色都很有特色。最后想知道哪里能领养一只鲨鱼王！！！！！
某种程度上说雪代巴重塑了剑心的信仰，一直被当做工具人的人终于醒悟，可惜是以爱人的死为代价，最后一战很惨也很美。转眼砂糖都30+了，演剑心还是毫无违和感啊 现在电影不管中外画面都要这么暗吗，看得好累。
