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".
当透纳成为了人肉监视AI，当稻草人张开怀抱保护飞鸟，当猎枪砰砰不及打脸的耳光响亮，那，就是漂亮！
单就作品而言，其以传记片的形式意图赞美一“不自由毋宁死”的态度，但戴安娜本身却时常显得幼稚且病态，固然可以说是扭曲的皇室造成的恶果，但她最初，是有选择权的。这就使人难以对王妃的行为产生充分的同情，甚至说她在坐拥钱权的基础上索要自由，这是否是一件不公平的事情？导演其实也意识到了这一点，他将戴安娜的形象游离在巧妙的边缘位置，再加之女性、同志、自由这些普遍正确的命题，一个看似正面的形象被塑造出来，迷惑住一些视线。
十足的别扭，已经分不清是剧本有意强调戴安娜在压抑束缚的皇室生活中产生的别扭情绪的延伸，还是小k略微夸张的表演和娇柔的台词功底引发的别扭观感，只能说小k并不适合这样的角色，对戴安娜的演绎具体如何有待探讨，但她自带的少年气很难让人相信她同时还在扮演一位母亲。
首先要明确的是缩脖子含胸驼背并不是表达痛苦迷茫无所适从的最好和唯一方式。奇怪的咬字和重音，用气声并改变说话节奏，都是非常表面的演绎神经质的方法。漂亮的衣橱，香奈儿秀场，一生都与皇室格格不入，黛安娜个人的悲剧，没有任何跳出主流视角的故事。导演的品味高级，摄影精美绝伦，配乐渲染情绪，这三点三颗星。
挺好看，这部传记片的风格是心理电影路线，大胆的加入了很多幻想，比如吞食珍珠、与16世纪的安妮·博林王后神魂相遇，尤其是濒临崩溃边缘那段MV式蒙太奇，拍出了枷锁桎梏的压抑，也拍出了希望。
把《Spencer》划入传记片的门类恐怕并不恰当，毕竟这只是对戴妃短暂人生中一个剖面的截取，并用无休无止的管弦乐和茫茫白雾来向那个时期的戴妃投以后人的猜测。她不是那个漂亮而优雅的戴安娜，而是脆弱的、深陷恐惧的、几近崩溃的，渴望突破钳制并回归自我的斯宾塞。这样的戴安娜只存在于后人的话语中，没有图像没有记录，模糊不清却又令人心碎，于是我们看到的只有意识，而非故事；如果这是传记，那它不止是一个人的传记—它诉说的是所有为婚姻所钳制的女性最深处的恐惧。
封建社会真的擅长吃人，especially in吃女人。令人惊讶的是评论区里对戴妃和女演员的情绪要求，你们这样也是在要求她做你们想要的那个人，这样和the👑有什么区别我看不出来。
小K大型时装秀，人是美的，但演技真的很扭捏很做作。
海报展示了这电影的一大亮点就是服装设计啊，小K表演压抑和情绪变化其实不错，但是故事好平淡诶，如果不知道背景故事&很难理解人物的内心0
小k拿影后！（不管怎么样，KFC和羽绒服已经赢了
虽然看得出来kk尽力了，但看她演戏还是永远一直费劲的感觉哈哈哈哈哈，这就是每个国家花旦的命运吗
呃……搞不清楚皇室和那個比，究竟哪個更滑稽。
AMC Mercado 20 | 喜欢 影院观看沉浸体验极佳 看完了才发现是绿木配乐！小K脑残粉表示全程时装秀+怼脸非常满足 圣诞夜烛光中的母子角色扮演温暖感人
越努力模仿越偏离，努力不代表成功，《王冠》近年网飞出的质量最强剧集之一，可以说任何电影想拍出及格的王室剧情，先超过《王冠》为目标吧。两个小时的观影无非是吐槽某一事件，不可否认对戴安娜的心理塑造，道具符号等细节对心理的暗示都是优点，这剧情是外包给外行三流编剧写的吗？
演技太糟糕了，这是戴安娜嘛？无时无刻不让人想起她演过的琼杰特，爆发时刻，崩溃时刻，乃至歪嘴笑的时刻。戴安娜王妃哪有这样缩脖子猥琐颈的体态？王室成员该有的仪态都不对。
小K演的很棒，但是她演的是欲戴皇冠，必承其重的戴安娜王妃，而不是突破重重枷锁，寻求释怀与超脱的Spencer。比起隔壁劳模姐棱模可分的神婆Tammy·faye，她就已经在后半段破功了。
四不像电影 对话听得也特别难受 不光是表演的原因 也是台词的过于重复和琐碎 导演想做一种风格却很难贯彻 但总体还是剧本问题 到底想表达什么？三天descent into madness?那不如像lighthouse那样拍；还是人物最终做出选择的过程？那请把过程讲的更清楚；只是心理描写？可你又脱不开周边的人和事；文艺片？这是人物传记，导演还能大于主人公不成？
由情绪构成的影片，一点都不客观不冷静，某种程度上也考验观众对人物真实历史的了解程度，但是即使不了解背景，不理解里面一些内容，也能被影片的呈现（小K的表演、音乐）很好的带入情绪之中，传递到位，质感佳。看到黛安娜走进围猎场要带儿子走那里，一下就哭出来了，美人可怜，爱、笑、勇气多么可贵。
符号不会比人更生动，角色也未必就比现实中的人更鲜活。第一点是意识问题，第二点依旧关乎意识但更多则是技术问题。这部第一点做的还可以，第二点就离生动鲜活相去甚远了。
好好一个戴安娜王妃，全片儿整的，就几件首饰。
