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".
仅仅孤独、痛苦是不够的，对于拍电影而言。同样，仅仅真诚。美也是不够的。
谢谢索伦蒂诺给了全部谜底，应该是第一次拍得这么平易近人了。所有元素和《绝美之城》全部对应，作为看者，是少年版。
机器人已经代替手机成为孩子们社交和连接的基本工具，但巴尼的这台却因为故障变得行为异常。《天赐灵机》讲得就是巴尼与故障机器人间友谊的故事。
有佳句无佳章，很喜欢电视放马拉多纳连过五人的那段 3.5
友情向电影永远的神啊啊啊啊啊！！！！太好看啦😭！！我永远喜欢谈友情的作品！！！妈的，Ron太可爱了，特别是他的那个微笑，妈的，治愈整个世界，可爱到宇宙爆炸😭。很喜欢主角的配音，完全就是十五六岁还没变声的小男孩的那种声音，可爱死了。意外的也很喜欢Ricky这家伙也好萌😭。妈的看的我可激动，友情是双向的哇！电影的插曲也很好听😭那个混音的家伙匿名鼠3笑死我了，完全就是死老鼠5吧🤣。电影不是特别好看，有点乱乱的感觉，但是也不错！话说其实我觉得这还是有点恐怖片的。。让我们断开网络，去现实世界拥抱真正的友情吧😭。
如何成为朋友
颜色：7
整部影片真诚动人，节奏舒服，群戏精彩，年轻的菲利波·斯科蒂的表演配得上第78届威尼斯的马塞洛·马斯托依安尼奖。
宏大的大數據世界也有失效的時候，我們難以單憑社交平台結交朋友，放下手中的電子產品，重新發掘世界的美好。
还是经典套路结构。
我严重怀疑这片子夹带私货，在说某些收集私人数据的公司。这片子我觉得还能展开说说。最后，ron变成了一种攻壳机动队里笑脸人的存在。结尾曲也很不错。
《绝美之城》姊妹篇，少了一些浮华，多了一些性感
又是展现科技时代人与人的关系，与机器人相处的段落拍的还挺有意思，到后来必须强行出现反派然后拯救世界就没什么意思了，但又不得不存在。看个欢乐，想象力还不太够
1、只有离开，才能长大，家乡是这样，过去也是；
宏大的大數據世界也有失效的時候，我們難以單憑社交平台結交朋友，放下手中的電子產品，重新發掘世界的美好。
3星，片子低龄低幼，但整体流畅度不错，充满童心的娱乐感。 意思就是不要被网络数据所迷惑，多关心一下身边的朋友，付出才有回报。
很难决定今年最恐怖的电影是这部还是《主流》。
好莱坞平均每过几年就会有一个动画公司出来做一部电影教你该怎么去交朋友，本片基本上就是一个换皮的《驯龙高手》➕《超能特攻队》，不过剧本还算规矩，除了前面铺了半天的哮喘钩子后面没用上之外。
哭了哭了 两人一起逃跑进森林 太快乐了 也太悲伤了 用贴纸和输入信息联结成的code 感觉像是alive 当你心情不好的时候 我就会回到六英尺范围之外 来自代码的可爱和悲伤 程序的单纯对位情绪的复杂
漫长又痛苦的观影体验（两个小时的文艺片真撑不住），前半段温暖而琐碎，后半段冷峻又孤独，这也许就是一个人的成长过程吧。喜欢导演在影片中的创作论，拍电影起码是有话要说，而不是去到另外一个陌生国度为了表达而表达。另外，哥哥长得太像凤小岳了，出戏。
