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".
還好啦……[屁咧 大白天還不敢放全屏看的] 內在邏輯掩埋得深了一點，看了影評才理解到。高讚短評裡的“收復台灣”是什麼鬼，憑這個就多加一顆星咯……
一星给营销。本来想看一家人激情泼shi ，然而和原案件不能说一摸一样只能说毫无关联。情节拖沓，桥段平庸，手法老套，强行感人，毫无代入感。
中式恐怖做到这样挺顶的了，要不是我看的心不在焉估计也被吓个半死
当然打高分啦～虽然有点拖沓但有几个惊吓点很新不重复，值得表扬。不懂晦气在哪，这不是早都普遍的一种跟观众互动的恐怖片方式吗since午夜凶铃开始？
由于害怕被下降头所以刷了太多手机导致没有看太懂
热搜一直不断，一直说冒犯观众，期待值拉到满，结果就这？！这种低级的冒犯观众的恐怖片手法，国外都玩遍了。前段时间看的烂片《地狱之门》也是这么搞，国外无人care，真心感慨华语电影之落后，都玩些国外玩了几千遍的东西，还以为自己多有创意？ 全程jumpscare，玩得也不高级，都看困了，这几年玩jumpscare玩得最恐怖的还是《女鬼桥》。 主题还搁这“母爱”呢，能换个有新意的主题吗？
个人不太感冒搭桥场外观众的病毒式传染渲染恐怖，遗憾伪纪录片的镜头真实感较少，正片有迹可循的答案跑到预告透露太多。
（无剧透）9分！要比中邪更加的有代入感，也可能是因为中邪经费和为了迎合国内院线的原因，导演拍的很大胆，将符号和咒语贯彻全片，伪纪录片本就能给人带来最真实且恐怖的体验，配合诡异的音乐及演员优秀的演技，这样生猛的国产恐怖片错过了下一次不知道要等到什么时候了！
惊了，还真有这么多煞笔因为觉得自己被诅咒了给差评？
女主是六年前就被佛母看上了吧？所以她身边的人都死了，是她故意把诅咒分享出去救自己？直到没啥人能分享了，于是想起把女儿接回来，拍视频剪辑给网友，欺骗大家是为了救女儿，利用大家的同情心祝福女儿，其实是在骗大家分享诅咒。然而她发现自己慢慢爱上女儿了，而且佛母开始放弃她，盯上她女儿了，所以她才要去献祭自己释放佛母救女儿？
就冲反复让你记住的那句咒语和让你想最亲近的三个人，诈骗岛的气质一览无遗。

我的建议是千万不要看，《咒》就拍了个这？臭鱼烂虾片
看伪纪录片形式的恐怖片，过程免不了像吃辣子鸡：挑了半天辣椒，才发现一块鸡肉。抱着这种低期待去看，发现插叙的叙事手段等所制造的迷惑和神秘不安氛围很到位，佛像突然倒装的画面在影院看一定相当震撼。但是很多情节没有解释清，没头没尾。

群里有人转片源，手贱打开了，麻蛋开头就被吓到了，一身冷汗。不是欧美或者日本似的突然出现个鬼脸的吓人，是相信神秘力量的人，来自深渊的恐怖
看恐怖片目的是增加自己的情绪波动 这片做到了 万谢
又臭又长，无聊透顶。这恐怖片拍得跟过家家一样。
《咒》的故事其实没有太多创新，并且包裹起来的“母爱”内核也是恐怖片中最常见的表现形式——高明的恐怖片最终应该关于作为人类的我们自身，而非鬼怪和神明。虽然还是脱离不了常见的类型片方式，但是《咒》的氛围烘托绝对是近十年华语恐怖片里出类拔萃的，并且利用类似《昆池岩》里的手机拍摄、直播等屡见不鲜的手法，不断地撩拨着观众紧绷地情绪，“狡猾”地试探着起观众们的社交欲。当我们在网络里对这部电影差评的时候，导演柯孟融和团队可能在一边数钱一边暗自高兴。
