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".
竞技体育电影要素都有了，连带一些亲子教育意义，2022春节档的佳片了
“热爱你所热爱的”
3D和背景差着点
不过整体的霓虹画风看的我眼睛酸不拉几的，喜羊羊那霓虹眼珠子走夜路都不用开灯
喜洋洋与灰太狼之筐出未来，看了点映，因为是看动画片灌篮高手长大的，所以对这种剧情不太感冒，觉得还是春节档熊出没热闹点。
运镜，动作流畅。台词稍微有点问题，如动物世界里面没人类，关于中心的几句话表达太过于书面。
故事还是太仓促，南十字和队长的纠葛，男主守护孩子和岛上核弹的秘密完全没说。整个战力，南十字全队王牌打不过一台破扎古。骡子打不过男主，最后秒杀压制男主的队长。还有白色木马废物三人组。希望GTO可以借此机会继续拍下去。
好看，没想到是我过年档最好看的一部电影，竟然是陪小孩儿看的动画片儿
有瑕疵但是我还是好爱好吗
陪儿子看的，他自己已经反反复复看了几遍了……我不评分
喜灰继续加油，期待生肖电影系列的上映！可惜这次阴间排片没能去成影院，等下一部的生肖电影一定！
“喜羊羊，我们认识多久了？” “大概五千多集了吧！ ”童年啊
挺好的，每个人都给了高光部分，最后一场比赛挺燃的。没有丑化任何一个对手这点特别好
让我想起来高中我可是很迷艾弗森
质量上乘的全龄向动漫，没有植入没有暗示，简单欢乐热血的故事，很适合新年放松看。
故事还算流畅，节奏也比较轻快，当然从一个成人视角来看，剧本的抄袭痕迹还是比较严重的，无论是拍摄手法和剪辑特写，都与灌篮高手高度相仿，同时对这几个动画人物的角色刻画也几乎完全照搬了灌篮高手的原班人马：喜洋洋-流川枫、沸羊羊-赤木、懒洋洋-三井寿、美羊羊-宫城良田、灰太狼-樱木花道、村长-安西教练……当然喜洋洋系列尽管早已令人审美疲倦，但其成功之处在于其通过故事讲道理的水平还是比较取巧的，即便是关于梦想这个亘古不变的大道理，在小朋友眼中，那一只只可爱活泼的小羊就是正义的化身，梦想的代言者，所谓授业者，投其所好，攻其不备，染其所念，动其所思！
如果有1000分我都给你，喜洋洋与灰太狼在说偏见，在说热爱，在说梦想，在说鼓励，在说做自己！明年春节见！
真好看，在保留了各种炫目的动漫化特效处理的同时，也比较翔实地还原了篮球的战术配合和技术动作，甚至还有对艾弗森、安东尼和科比等球员的致敬桥段，主创团队真是太懂了。
虽然还有卖胶气息，但也确实是安彦老师给高达粉的一份总结式回馈。这部OVA实在很高达，优缺点皆然，优点方面，最大限度的贯彻了富野和安彦做真实系机器人动画的理念，MS战斗自不必多说，人物的反应、矛盾的展开都以一种几乎现实情况的逻辑来展现，早年的高达动画正是为展现这些却被制作拖后腿，显得剧情沉闷，缺乏编剧必要的铺陈与人物动机，经历了后来的几部高达洗礼，本作可以说是目前最大限度展现0079——高达创作原点动机的作品，特别是最后高达将扎古举过头顶，以一种献祭的仪式结束战争的象征感非常强烈。但是，看多了宫崎骏、押井守作品之后，你又不难发现同一主题安彦良和相比宏大的象征主题，在细节刻画、对人物的理解和动画必要的趣味性上着实不足，本作的很多处理还是太陈旧，遑论痞子和今敏了。至于卖胶，只要诚意至此，不冲突不冲突。
