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".
建塔和爱情选择之间的两难拉扯没有拍出来，整体中规中矩。开个玩笑：为了抚平爱人的伤痕，将铁塔设计为平顶是不是更合理？
风pon鼓掌的时候，配合音乐我鸡皮疙瘩都起来了。如果下次到了束手无策的时候，就鼓掌吧，鼓掌的话妖精们可以不用死的话，那我也是愿意鼓掌的。然后到大饼说出既然如此就应该让两个人在别处相遇，这样两个人就能获得幸福了。我才明白为什么要写这本小说，忍不住站立鼓掌，而我鼓掌多半是因为遇到了超出预期想象的结局了~
“埃菲尔铁塔的形状像字母A” 这个承载我无数浪漫向往的建筑背后的浪漫故事
埃菲尔铁塔，讲了20分钟的塔，120分钟古斯塔夫埃菲尔爱情故事，感情戏看得我好尴尬，他们抠床单，我用脚趾抠出一座铁塔。（1.5，多出来0.5给温柔的女儿，爱了爱了）
时空交错，循环，驱魔，鬼屋探险，宗教等各种元素揉在一起，又有细节，音效和妆容加持，其实蛮出彩的。
给4星。因为它有鬼！！！而且隐含的太多了，搞得我懒得去仔细挖掘，还是看看其他大神的解析比较好。韩国还是敢拍敢想的，就是驱鬼能力不行~~
剧情《两个月亮》+《昆池岩》+《怪奇宅》。混乱的空间，昏暗的老楼，致命的追杀，恐惧的呻吟，真的是视觉享受。
5.几的评分确实太低了，该影片氛围感拉爆，你总期待着男主和学生们能一齐找到出口出去，没想到所有人都死了。单纯的惊吓恐怖之余还有一些循环设定，相对废脑，更有趣。女鬼纯情面相真的很容易被理解成是乖巧可怜的受害者啊，没成想是大boss 。那句“你知道从哪里开始循环的吗”，互动感特别强烈！惊喜！题外话，韩国人的大嗓门和哗众取宠的发音方式真的有些做作，波浪声结尾
當初提著高跟鞋也應該爬完1652階台階的，而不是累了改乘電梯。沒看這片之前一直以為Eiffel Tower設計成鐵三角就是為了求穩固。直到快看到片尾突然福至心靈，難道因為「A」？！論為「愛」瘋狂，還得看法蘭西人民！絕了～～～
3.5星，剧本不错，可惜拍烂了，想必原著应该很精彩！
战士被法系刺客放风筝的故事。用了双线叙事和时空循环的概念，但不是很出彩，有点杂乱，基本都是jump scare，只能说中规中矩吧。
镜头一直是在头部，基本没有全景，一直是背景虚化，看着头疼，建造塔的部分好看，爱情感觉线混乱，然后女儿的出现完全不知道是在干什么（没怎么讲啊。。。）。。。
埃菲尔铁塔是我心中最向往的旅游圣地！我对电影唯一不满的是影片缺少了铁塔最后落成的镜头，哪怕是用动画做出来也算呀！最后的那个A更增添了浪漫的意味！
开头有点无聊，中间开始有点意思了，但总体还是属于拼接体，没什么惊喜，结尾还可以
我太爱19世纪末了所以加一星，Romain Duris演傻呵呵的理工男好像啊哈哈哈哈哈哈哈
感觉最后男主并没有出去，而是也死在了那座楼里！！！
以为是纪录片，来看塔怎么建成的，谁知道看了个埃菲尔的浪漫野史……爱情故事有些老套，可是男女主的眼睛真的太很会说话，公开场合没有台词，却依然勾魂摄魄，那场舞会跳得简直比滚床单还要性感，而且青年和中年的处理和把握都非常好，男主在马车上抬头就泪目的镜头真是难受了。
明明是模仿泰姬陵。沙贾汗为纪念老婆的爱情建成泰姬陵，埃菲尔因失去情人的爱情建成埃菲尔铁塔。
每一位死去的灵，都被困在一段死前的时间，并不断重复着死亡的整个过程。
故事讲的还不错，就是故事本身看完没什么感觉，是该惊叹小说家的逻辑思维能力呢，还是该感叹绿帽丈夫的心胸呢...本身是奔着卡司来看的，不得不说藤原龙也这次的角色还行，总算摆脱了咆哮帝的角色，土屋太凤的角色就很失望了，实在太花瓶了
