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".
牛逼！就这样一部扬我国威的优秀电影被傻der们冲成那样！你们啊！食屎啦！
一部自带争议的7分电影，2亿票房的《雄狮少年》舆论大战比31亿票房的《八佰》、57亿票房的《长津湖》还大。
在广州看了一部关于广东舞狮的电影也算是非常奇妙的经历，场景真的太美了，有在好好讲故事，开篇的小猫和结尾的雄狮呼应，挺感动的。推荐！
心有猛狮，然而梦想终究高于现实，人总能在追求梦想的道路上慰藉到自己
前半段五分水平各种碰瓷周星驰，中点过后影片开始爆发，把极致的燃渲染出来了。总体来说整部片子虽然套路化严重，但在调动观众情绪的方面来说是很成功的。能把一个五分的题材做到八分的水平可见团队的功力还是很深厚的。
一枚早已写在尽头的句点，一段再无归期的旅程，我是垂暮之年的传奇，踏上末世的无依之地。
饥馑里忆丰年，末日里说希望，有童心童趣，但也不过是个小品。虽然背景是废土，说到底还是撒糖。
汽车和宠物，一个美国人在世界末日的标配。做减法的电影，虽然内核依旧是无底线的“爱”，但有让人看下去的欲望～
年底的惊喜，废话不多，就是燃，就是热血，就是好看！希望大家都去看！
带了一点期待去的，前半场观众笑得我有点自我怀疑，特别是旁边女孩子的声音完全入侵了我的观影体验，甚至想到雪崩的时候没有一片雪花是无辜的，所有让我对这部片子抱有期待走进电影院的人都有责任！不过没想到能在电影院听到有几年都没听过的九连真人
如果能在电影院看这部影片，那就能在电影院完整听一遍美国馅饼，那会多么幸福。一位将死之人培养一个机器人照看自己的小狗，这是一种什么精神？这是无害化处理宠物需要学习的精神。
一部末日片在主角死后，突然变成一厢情愿的儿童片
这是个讲述梦想与现实的故事。剧情燃爆，画质也一流。从各方面看都超过了大圣和哪吒，良心国漫，能不去支持吗？
看完觉得男主帅爆了！优缺点都明显，但绝对值得买票去影院观看。票房这么拉胯是我没想到的，为它意难平，所以我多打一星……天台舞狮那一段堪称完美。狭路争锋时配乐用《今夜无人入睡》简直灵性，坐我旁边的几个小孩乐得不行。难得有这种水平的现实题材动画，怎么大家都不知道珍惜，唉。希望它不要亏本太多吧。
牛逼！就这样一部扬我国威的优秀电影被傻der们冲成那样！你们啊！食屎啦！
吐槽一句，这种科幻公路片难道不比《无依之地》看着舒服？
2.13 早点有粤配的话分会不会跟高一点，到广州后好看不少，看到芳村地鐵站簡直夢回十幾年前。小狮子眨巴眨巴的巧可爱
Finch.2021.1080p.ATVP.WEB-DL.DDP5.1.Atmos.H.264-TEPES
不仅仅是一部动画效果上乘、制作水准精良的热血番，对传统文化从形到神都拿捏把握地异常精确，有皮有骨，有血有肉。剧本扎实，后半段渐入佳境一气呵成。
这类电影就属于那种感觉没什么剧情发生，但是看完了又能被细节深深打动的电影。
