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".
“最后我要感谢我的九年级数学老师，他曾经告诉我我会一事无成，而现在他可以kiss my ass.”，很可爱的儿童片，叙事结构和角色设计非常经典，狗狗很可爱，但loser的英雄故事实在是my favorite，Emily她叔叔很有Roy（in it狂人）的即视感。其实情节有个很大的bug：Emily就养了狗狗不到一天就决定豁出自己的公寓啥啥的去救狗狗，I can get it but it’s quite weird?
大红狗戏份太少了，年幼的小朋友无法长时间保持观看热情。
听歌脑补的剧情都比这入时，是泰鸽又负我吗！
开头的设定把我期待值拉满了，老先生的流浪动物收容所简直是梦境王国xxx结果看到反派出场，突然意识到后面剧情逃不脱低配版帕丁顿熊了🥲果不其然...人物感情转折啥的真的没扑够。作为儿童向勉强合格吧。小白厅中间有一段演得回归本性给里给气xxx
动画做得好差 一看就很假 毫无代入感（因为一些个人原因PTSD）笑不出来
商业片和故事片的巧妙结合，门外汉也能沉浸其中，特别喜欢"斗器"和"认爹"两场戏，没有花里胡哨的剧作设置，只有简单纯粹的的古董探险。每个人无一搭边，却一人一色演绎出其特色，最后情感的落脚点也很好。在许一城的年代，或许没有是非黑白，一些隐藏之下的灰暗，是我们该深刻反思的内容。佛头是真是假，人的双面皮是黑是白，真相是何，都不重要了，笑过，哭过，来过，明白过，探索过，感受过，就足够了。
那个佛像底座的地道笑死我，还用得着解密吗？生推也推开了。整部电影不算无聊，不能较真吧。
成人会无聊，特别低龄向，但是不知道小孩子会不会觉得好看
低幼化的童话故事电影。所以才这么和谐，温馨。。。现实里，只会引起恐慌与麻烦。不管狗主人声明一万次“它不咬人”。。。
适合小学生看的温暖合家欢，这个狗子在欧美好像挺有名的，坐教培的时候，教国画的老师在教室里一整面墙画了大红狗和他的朋友们，巨可爱！
国产片一如既往的软趴趴，就靠段子和煽情撑满时长。
挺治愈的一儿童片，再度让魔法和奇迹同时降临到纽约这座城市~用一个可爱的故事讲了个简单的道理：尊重个体差异性，并要不断让自己变强大。最后Emily在公园当着众人演讲的样子，真的很有魅力！
就… 适合跟小朋友一起看 寓教于乐。大红狗一出现，脑子就自动跳到前段时间看的那只红熊猫去了… 相对来说，更喜欢红熊猫呢。
局中有局，是不是很有吸引力？整体剧情和《盗墓笔记》有些类似，表演上都还是不错的；被认为是汉奸的古董大家藏了两招，一招欺骗日本人，成功了；一招欺骗本土的贼人，也成功了；做好这两个局，再把这个局的谜题答案通过血脉和摩斯密码、古文化来传递给自己的子孙，也算是用心良苦，一石三鸟了。逻辑很复杂，表演很真诚，很赞。
红色大狗到底是什么样的想象力盆地才能有的产物哦，不过拍成动画电影应该会更好吧。
电脑动画逼真，喜剧家庭温情感人！此类电影比较适合少年儿童！超大红狗很可爱，现实中估计要吓屎了！不知道超大藏獒大战金刚可行？
看见欧文他爹在上海拥有一套大庄园的时候我真的很想给他做后母🥲
修giugiu给满分了💯，终于是个可爱知性的小女孩作为主角，而不是劲儿劲儿的gossip girls了
狗狗很可爱，比较适合小朋友看
只能算勉强及格，李现还是回去演偶像剧吧，别嚯嚯电影了
