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".
最后老邓孤身走在无人的街上，配合那句Who will love you now, Dumbledore太虐了
Even if we make mistakes, we can try to make things right, and that is what matters. Trying. // Do what is right, not what is easy. // You have something most men go their entire lives without; a heart that is full. // Love, arrogance, naivety; pick your poison. // Things that seem unimaginable today will be inevitable tomorrow // the fact that everything didn't go precisely to plan was precisely the plan. // dangerous times favor dangerous men.
太尬了，和第2部基本是同样的问题，节奏缓慢，剧情空洞，全片两个多小时，实际只有一个小时有剧情发展，三星评分都很勉强了
For the greater good.
没仔细看，关键剧情有点意思，但反正……will anyone else love you？这句看的有点想哭…
看看彩蛋，看看裘花，其他没啥。倒是希望将来有个仙侠世界和魔法世界的融合，法器和法杖的对决
Tina没出现的理由也太牵强了……更牵强的是英国魔法部傲罗司负责人在德国失踪或被非法拘押居然没有成为国际事件……
“邓布利多站在空旷的街道中央看着这白雪皑皑的世界，那一刻是真实能够感觉到他的孤独。”
逻辑很多不能自洽且节奏剪辑很有问题，但还不错
麻瓜在柏林打架那段睡着了，中间勉强睁眼几次，发现眼前的电影没我梦精彩，所以含含糊糊睡到麻瓜逃离柏林和小雀斑带着哥哥躲过大蝎子，接着就去布丹了。布丹的景确实好看，几个影分身追逐戏也好看，可是各路精英汇聚在布丹干这事儿…是不是有点儿戏了啊……神奇动物的戏份都让小麒麟给占掉了，然后小麒麟也没几个镜头；普叔不再出演老邓头的爱人也是大遗憾。哎，魔法世界这次有点败下阵来了啊。
首映人挺多的。文戏为重的片子。主打观众是魔法粉。精彩的地方都在台词和表演。还是挺喜欢的。因为JKR被……，多给一个❤️。ps：最后和麒麟什么，还是挺傻的……
告诉我，神奇的动物在哪里？在预告片里吗？
九成九的镜头都是平庸愚蠢到无以复加的铺张浪费，真就不愿意多花点功夫让视听变得有那么一点点意思嘛，时隔六年再看这个系列发现还是那么难看，宽心了。邓布利多和格林德沃打到一半突然互相同时袭对方胸的时候，脑内自动播放唐可可语：「真爱，这是真爱啊！」
从暮光之城到神奇动物，叫Jacob的男人总是有特别的魅力打动我。
我真是想不开带妈妈去看男同分手片。除了男同很绝外，其他就是垃圾堆里挑点能看的，从剧本到摄影一无是处，比儿童文学差远了（咱们儿童文学现在也不搞纯纯善VS邪了，更不会鼓励原始型election了）。我跟别人不一样，我可以接受纽特的故事和老邓情史、魔法世界大事件扯在一起，作为普通观众我确实想看这些刺激的，但作品的执行非常之差，三部下来越看越差，有点像埃兹拉米勒演艺生涯/克雷登斯arc——你知道他很有潜力，他高光的时候真的很棒，但最终又是真的不行。哎。ADGG看爽了就是，男同戏好妙啊，就是我无法跟家长解释，为啥他俩要互相摸心【还有谁会爱你】，老邓那句【从今天起以后的每天都不一样了】更是戳心😂
各路角色都是纸片般单薄，这系列能在故事信息量越来越少的基础上做得越来越闷也是奇葩
如果一开始就是麦斯演格林德沃的话，感觉应该还行……但是相比之下就显得口齿不清目光呆滞，像急功近利的民营企业家……神奇动物相比哈利波特明显更成人向，有很多可以表现的内容，人和动物的关系、麻瓜和巫师的关系、少数和多数的关系、共存派和民粹派的关系……然而电影偏偏要聚焦邓布利多和格林德沃的关系……然而麦斯和裘德洛面对面又是真的一点火花都没有，堪比第一炉香里的马思纯遇上彭于晏
能写出这种靠某种信物来决定谁是天选之人的老掉牙剧情，真是让人无比尴尬，关键是现场居然有两个人“达标”，这也太廉价了……
我就是来看GGAD的，无脑四星吧！所以最后邓布利多的秘密到底是什么呀？？他家的那点事以及他和老相好的那点事，大家不是早就都知道了吗？？
在聚散之间 有一劫宿缘 是无常善变；
