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".
小熊猫太太太太太太太可爱了，我十分羡慕美美的同学，花钱就能rua到熊猫，这是我多年来的夙愿！而且追星也拍得很还原，是我本人。
追星少女好闺蜜。色调我挺喜欢的，看着很舒服。做饭那一段也不错。思春期女孩的暗恋。互相扔球的游戏是不是太危险了？这个家是女人说了算，妈妈做决定，爸爸没有话语权。演唱会让女孩成为女人？母女和解。
小熊猫飞跃的样子太萌了😭可能因为太过有共鸣，导致全程哭了好几次，尤其是最后一刻钟。认识自己，接受自己，与家人和解并脱离他们的束缚，是我们成为真正女人的开始，然而我自己还没有成功。有一部华人亚裔女性主导的动画片还是蛮值得鼓励的。
2.5 这算不算华人的刻板印象？
在“蜘蛛侠”之后看这个，有一种神奇的感觉
六个红熊猫扯着一个大熊猫的尾巴，女孩们在B-Box，戴着翅膀的男Idol在飙高音，人群在尖叫——谁能告诉我为什么如此诡异的画面会让我泪流满面......
“你走得越远，我越是骄傲。”多希望我妈能明白这一点
太好看了！终于有这么好看的动画电影了！必须满分！
8.0/父母对自己的和解 很重要 对他们自己也很重要
真的觉得好好挼！“这都是为你好。”“以后你就明白了。”窒息。至于你内心的想法需求，what?
成长，认同，好无聊。人物仿佛只是带着面具，没有灵魂，硬拗的可爱，连没有具体故事的玲娜贝儿也比不上。
可爱可爱可爱可爱可爱可爱可爱可爱可爱可爱我要说一万遍！亚裔+女性导演的正确打开方式，不卖弄不刻意不抹黑原原本本地展示就是最吼的！姐妹淘天团贴心到肝颤！！
六个红熊猫扯着一个大熊猫的尾巴，女孩们在B-Box，戴着翅膀的男Idol在飙高音，人群在尖叫——谁能告诉我为什么如此诡异的画面会让我泪流满面......
太好看了！女性导演的独特视角和细腻情感，青春期女孩躁动心理和奇幻变身的绝佳隐喻，中西方元素巧妙融合。母亲在演唱会变身一场戏简直是要绝倒，那一刻如同看到月圆之夜变成的金刚在西城男孩的演唱会上被道教做法。不知道有没有受到玲娜贝尔意外出圈的启发，红色小熊猫类的萌物，是否会成为新的流量密码？
7.5分。理想化的嫖客与理想化的性工作者。仿佛做了一个多小时的心理咨询。
To me this is more about extended mental illness produced by hereditary and environment.
Stereotypes 太多了，吴珊卓加一星
仿佛看到了初中的自己和同学，追星的中二病时期，每天放学后打打闹闹，有说有笑地结伴回家，过于关心保护、严苛要求子女，行事专断的家长大概都或多或少经历过。真的很羡慕美美，拥有三个真正关心她、理解她、尊重她的死党朋友，另外姑娘们真是搞钱小能手啊，自食其力，行动力超强！
就问这么软fufu的小熊猫谁不想rua！！
而我一直保持了红熊猫的样子 成为了家里的异类
