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".
P.S.2005年的阿娟18岁，那么2021年的他，已经34岁了，三十而立的阿娟，还会时常在心中听到那一声咆哮吗？祝愿他一切都好…
陈旧的科幻片文本，无味的公路片旅程，人物无弧光，AI无成长，还套用了相当偷懒的商业片人工智能模板，就是那种数据库里明明什么都能知道还非要装傻充愣让人类教他做人，明明比人还懂事可遇见篓子还照样捅那种，总之你也弄不明白这AI到底啥程度只需要100%回应编剧遥控器可傻可精就OK了，全片从头到尾就是个大顺拐的故事，末世背景也浮皮潦草，科幻层面更是没有深入可能，就剩下汉克斯倚老卖老的行活表演
真真正正的雄狮觉醒了，国漫终于不靠IP靠原创也走出了一条自己的路。现实主义题材和传统舞狮文化也能融合的如此高燃、热血与感动。小人物的成长，大时代的发展，边缘人的故事与传统文化的结合相辅相成，少年人一跃而起，攀上的不止心中的大山，还有不屈于命运的怒吼。彩蛋好评，2D好评，在一个有星星的夜晚，阿珍爱上了阿强，以及李白说的都对。
确实只适合拍成短片，末世题材太老套，了剧情上也没有特别大的亮点。可能是汉克斯太老了，跟《荒岛余生》差的不少。
片头水墨画绝了～画面剧情不错，虽然有一些剧情很尴尬，但是是很令人惊喜的片子～阿猫阿狗可以当主角～留守儿童，小镇青年也要继续上山！城镇的田园乡村山水风光是进城青年的童年记忆，最后佛像闪光奇迹或许出现～阿珍爱上了阿强这也是彩蛋吧，强哥～片尾曲毛不易唱的歌词很扎心呀～

人设造型上，初看男主是有些不适，后期把西瓜头剪成寸头，看着清爽多了。
童话故事了，不需要和其他人类拼命的废土科幻能有什么意思。但公路旅行永远浪漫的，世界末日也要压着双黄线一路向西，再忙也记得给自己搞件大衣。
为了修狗写了一套程序 创造了一个机器人 只是为了自己死后有“人”还能照顾他 太浪漫了 我好爱
止于概念，过于传统的内核稳健地带出荒凉中残存的温暖，也不可避免地略显无趣；当然，若是那个时代仅一个工程师就能单枪匹马地靠废铜烂铁造出这等强人工智能，那臭氧层消失可能根本不是人类生存的最大问题。
无按头说教
2小时的时长但剧情的确只有短片的体量，感觉作一部电视剧的首集比较合适，可以慢慢讲述末日里失去主人的狗和机器人如何开启他们的冒险旅程，拍成一个短剧。但单独作为电影感觉有点太空了。
和《绿皮书》一样让人恶心的作品。无论是白人对黑人、还是人类对机器人，两部电影里所描绘的浓厚感情不过是源于对方的忠诚和付出罢了。把一个能够产生自己思想情绪甚至梦境的机器人仍然塑造成忠诚、无条件付出和憨厚可爱的像一条狗的形象，只能说明这部电影的导演和编剧对人类身份自视甚高的优越感和过于贫乏的想象力。更遗憾的是，在这部电影里，如此高级的机器人连条狗都不如，他产生和存在的意义，不过是为了一条狗。吐了
没有谁比汤姆汉克斯更适合这种孤独的独角戏了。一人、一狗、一机器人，配置像极了《我是传奇》，拍出了末日恐惧，也拍出了一抹温情。
食之无味，Don McLean歌好听，临终关怀何必苟活我大概会查“无痛苦自傻”吧 Jeff只是另一个汉克斯，连脸都一样长
除了被人诟病的的人物造型（可能前期太多人上图骂，我反而看惯无视了…），总体色彩难看是它的最大短板（又烂又脏的配色，绘画大忌），令前面的剧情加倍不吸引人～
实在太喜欢这类末日下独自生存的电影了，即使剧情再简单，或者干脆没什么剧情，依然会看得津津有味，氛围最重要，最后真的让人泪目啊
机器人和狗子怎么可以这么可爱！隔着满眼的泪看觉得更可爱了妈的！😭
公路片的主线剧情都不会太过复杂，但如果故事讲得巧、演员表现好，则可以撑起丰富的内核。《芬奇》可以看做是同样是汤姆·汉克斯独自秀演技的《荒岛余生》的B面。在片中可以看到许多公路片前辈的影子，诸如《艾利之书》、《史崔特先生的故事》、《我是传奇》及科幻钜作《人工智能》。末世背景只是个外壳（亦或是影射元宇宙与人际孤岛并存的时代），故事的核心则是关于责任、成长、信任、爱与传承。工程师与机器人拥抱，似乎感受到了对方的心跳（最后看来是开罐器，当真是个温柔细心的理工男）；狗子捡回了球交给机器人，达成了信任与传承的契约。感情不需要言语上诺言与书面上的协议，他只需要两个人：一个能够信任的人，一个愿意理解的人。生活中最大的幸福，是坚信有人爱着你。爱，即是希望（这个很“阿甘正传”）。
The dog outlived Finch and Finch long lived through Jeff, with hope and believe. 最后才懂第四定律中的“absent”是什么意思。泪目啊。
