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".
BJIFF2021-07，今年北影节最后一场，也是最疲累的一场，这就是当今的“沉浸式”探洞嘛，一次无趣的直播。
绑手play加强制内射！果然变态只能在二次元，好好的脆皮鸭涩涩请么多么多，就别非给受安上小妞新娘这类的称呼吧，狠下头……
是如此悲傷 卻如此美麗』
（虽然觉得真的不是太懂日剧的逻辑，感觉两人都是受虐狂😂😂😂
即使我完全不相信它。
没有以前那么甜了 但是画风提升。毕竟电影 很难在短时间表现出来
不可复制的观影体验。声音做得太好了，细微而丰富，风声和着牛铃声，洞里的水滴和回音，奇妙而悠远。全片没一句对白，也没什么复杂的剧情，但探索地心本身就已经足够动人。
作画处于感觉崩了又没完全崩的状态…剧情也有点无趣……能把doi场景画得那么没有世俗的欲望也挺厉害的😂
剧情片就算了吧
探险世界第三深洞，消减叙事让位于纯粹的画面表意，以及绝美的风景和狭窄深渊的高难度摄影。并行探险队探测和当地牧羊老人，进入-远观-探索-苏醒-呼唤-接收，在自然雾霭中实现交流。沉睡的自然洞穴被外来者唤醒，正如电视机里的流行文化成为通向世界的唯一窗口，和“洞”一起成为相互探索的连接点。
依然是甜度爆表 但是船戏差点意思 都放去跳舞和表白了
（虽然觉得真的不是太懂日剧的逻辑，感觉两人都是受虐狂😂😂😂
这太纯粹了我没办法了。。。完全唤起了童年时候每天翻我爹那些水文地质教材对世界充满好奇的心情。结尾时雾中传来的号声，是对探险者的祝福。
整体来说要是没肉会好很多，肉每次出现的时机都太糟糕了把攻活生生刻画成发情野兽…前期老缺点和动画没两样，其实我最想看的剧情是西条在某方面击败了准太，你强我也强感觉才带感，特别是中期救命我知道bl女想整点刺激的但地摊文学都不搞大荧幕强制爱了而且还是ppt版本 更何况是街道野合救了老命了……柳橙那段开始剧情稍微好了一点，但整部动画还是穷，对比一下海边的异邦人 在跳舞画面是真的贫穷（p.s 是樱日老师原作还是剧场动画原因，肌肉真的画得蛮别扭的
看动漫的时候深觉东谷淮太在PUA，结果剧场版好多了，除了看不懂的舞步
有点乱，但是还是很香，如果能一直拍下去。我能一直看下去。太香了，片尾曲也好听
这部电影总体来说还不错吧，就是时间太少了，里面有些清洁也比较尴尬。
不太尽如人意，这车戏不就是PPT吗，结尾那段不错但是又太短了，我摊牌了我看bl不就是为了看两个人多一点甜蜜互动吗，这个剧情也不太行，当然感情是好的，片尾曲不错。
#BJIFF 最后一部，也是本届北影节的top3。直到片尾字幕出现前都怀疑是修复后的纪录片。摄影太牛逼，真正做到了无情绪——云比山大，树比牛大，牛比人大，人和羊差不多大。花两个小时跟人探洞，无对白，无配乐，无提示，只被最后一丝探索欲（以及看看摄影还能多牛逼）牵动着，一种提纯到极致的观影体验。对情节和情绪的期待降到最低之后，最后一幕，顺着密林翻滚而下的白雾，蝼蚁般的一点人被完全笼罩，伴着死去老人的一声呼喊，屏幕一黑，仿若天启。（在那一刻被震在座位上，获得了一丝接近《镜子》的心流）
蠢太和高人的爱太好哭了。正番里未被仔细刻画的高人之于蠢太的特殊意义，“看见世界的色彩” “走出重复既定轨道的火车” “打开世界对我的隐形隔膜”， 再次阐述了蠢太对高人的义无反顾和执着渴望源自于何。剧场版其实更注重刻画高人终于愿意表露对蠢太的占有欲，吃醋，在乎。“为了我们能白头偕老的走下去，我们不能总是呆在两个人的世界，我一定会回来；你也要回来” 成为彼此最脆弱和软肋和最坚强的铠甲。结尾曲响起的时候也忍不住为纯爱哭了。虽然肉不多 依旧感人！五星好评
