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".
主题很好，也格外配这个时代，就是太刻意了。整个世界观好好讲完全能做出个三部曲，压在120分钟里就成了无脑爽片= =整个人设你细品：黑人小女孩救赎了中年老白男= =另外不理解为什么主角红海兽的设计最简单粗暴= =【好像是第一次在美国主流动画电影里看见真血】
剧情转变有点生硬啊
。。。海兽版驯龙高手，所有情节都不出所料，但世界观和细节做得很好，对之后的故事还挺期待，如果有的话
海上版《驯龙高手》，一开始看着人类穷追不舍地追杀Red就觉得很莫名其妙：人家在自己的地盘（海洋）生活，人类自己跑去人家家里攻击人家，事后还把锅全扣人家头上，真是服了。结果看到后面…发现果然就是这样。
驯龙高手全套照搬，虽然肯定会拍三部曲，但结尾也太随意了。全片高潮全在开场打小绿了
儿童向，内核是成人向。书籍、统治者、军队。
一部好的影片总能带给人以正确的价值观，海兽猎人这部影片就将人与自然的关系和矛盾通过人类与海兽之间的战争表现出来，而揭露的是人性的罪恶与贪婪，面对来自自然的威胁时，我们应该学会反思，或许是我们做错了什么。儿童片？我不这样认为，真正有价值能引起人反思的动画应是给所有人看的。
总体来说还是挺好看的，部分地方处理的比较仓促，阎魔海兽为何就那么顺利成章听主角话？带他们回到的那个怪兽岛有何特别的地方？女巫对船长说要拿走一切，她到底拿走了啥？
浓浓的迪士尼画风，却是网飞的片子，故事主题也是老生常谈的人和自然如何和谐相处，全片看完，总觉得方方面面都缺少点新鲜的东西。
一个永恒的悲剧故事，比Toolstoy的〈战争与和平〉要简单，也比战争与和平的〈histoy〉要复杂。
故事极其老套，结束的也很仓促，这种相同情节的已经不知道看过多少部了，部分地方逻辑都有点问题，比如那个小船晚上还有灯，镜头一转灯又没了
这部电影简直就是巨物恐惧症+深海恐惧症的双倍福利！虽然中心主题是与自然和谐相处及反专制皇权，但种族平等、性别平等的元素还是清晰可见的，像女猎人、女将军，甚至是雌海兽都是很有魅力的角色，影片整体偏套路化，但是海兽都还挺可爱的，尤其是小蓝[我也想要一个.jpg]！
制作上完全算的上精良，故事非常老套，但是放在动画上也勉强能接受
四颗星给小红，女孩，小蓝（开窗那段萌到了），女大副。只有女孩关心小红身上被刺伤留下的武器，为它去除。TA们在海中穿过水母群的那段。撒谎和挑起战争的皇室，虚假的历史，残忍杀害地球上其他生物和猎巫的人类，这不是很真实吗。这种童话至少比长发公主等和野男人私奔的童话好很多
动画片中长的丑萌的怪兽肯定是好怪兽，故事剧情主题总觉得很像《驯龙高手》，顺着这个思路第二部接着抄就行了
这部电影简直就是巨物恐惧症+深海恐惧症的双倍福利！虽然中心主题是与自然和谐相处及反专制皇权，但种族平等、性别平等的元素还是清晰可见的，像女猎人、女将军，甚至是雌海兽都是很有魅力的角色，影片整体偏套路化，但是海兽都还挺可爱的，尤其是小蓝[我也想要一个.jpg]！
是的，如你所见这部电影具有一切海上冒险题材所需的元素：神秘、怪异、险恶、喜剧、动作，精彩的配乐，外加媲美皮克斯的精致画面。剧情紧凑，高潮迭起，让人全神投入直到片尾字幕滚动。
[视]卡通风CG，衣服材质，水面纹理，外墙花纹细节到位，画面信息量不大，经费花在刀刃上。故事简单低幼向，情感和戏剧冲突薄弱，主人公黑白配大叔萝莉，有萌有唯美，两栖怪兽戏份充足，怪兽造型设计偏简单，有巨兽对战，克系元素，一些镜头有壁纸级的构图
于是我去找了电影解说，看完解说后稍微明了了一点，但我依旧没有明白男主为什么对不要成为普通人有如此大的执念。
莫名充满了亚洲风情，制作人名单一堆韩国名，原来如此。
