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".
给孩子看比较好。前面大部分都很套路，后面歌颂母爱和与自然和谐相处挺好的。
excellent！剧中表达的母爱非常深刻，不只是对自己孩子的爱，也是对特洛堡的人民的母爱，Hilda 妈妈寻找女儿的部分和小男主的妈妈，全片把母爱诠释得很好，就算是使用交换魔法的巨魔也有好好照顾Hilda，好喜欢这个剧集，Hilda的冒险故事永远不会结束🥲❤️
看前没读简介（先看前两季）的下场就是我：没看进去。
还是好可爱……😭以及最后我的乖女怎么长大了
喜欢Hilda! 里面的每个女孩子都好勇敢好自由！
【剧透】剧情简单但结局很温暖，原来是因为不想伤害地面上的人类，所以石头人的母亲满怀思念在地底沉眠
呜呜呜是漫画里最完整的一本了我永远喜欢hilda
最后五分钟的结局，愿世界如这般美好。山丘之王这个角色挺复杂的，是用变回来诱骗希尔达的骗子囚犯，是主张进攻Trollburg的激进分子，也是用母爱来安慰希尔达的暖心山王。
为什么结局每年让巨魔进城一次就是happy ending了 做动画的还是以人类为自我中心，蹩足地表达和谐共生的主题
个人认为母爱只是电影的一部分核心，也暗含了一些政治隐喻。如果拒绝沟通和了解，一味给某些群体下定义贴标签，最后假的也可能成为真的。
适合低龄小孩，剧情简单的过分，结局为什么人类不移居，每年一次和母亲相聚就是我们最大的宽容了吗？
在这个一切仿佛都可垂手可得的幸福世界，人们失去了迫切的渴望，也就失去了表达，哎。
虽然剧情很怪，但是真的很喜欢这个结局，剧版不知道还有没有第三季
没看过tv版，直接看的这个电影。感觉还可以啊，说实在话动画电影做成这样我很有好感。适龄8-15岁吧，挺好的啊。母爱，友谊，真诚，善良和勇敢，这都表达的挺好哇。
真的很好看了。希尔达就是一部单纯的动画，很纯粹，有一些很神奇的脑洞，画风也很舒服。这部电影强烈建议在看完前两季之后再看（因为有很多前两季的内容）但是应该不太影响主线。我是觉得豆瓣的评分低了。不用那么拘泥于表达主题，就是看一个故事好了，就轻松一点。这个故事也不是很强烈地要告诉我们什么母爱无私伟大，人类自私自利什么的，你可以自己去理解发散。一个好故事本就可以有很多解读。网飞还不错的作品
拥有绝对力量但还心怀天下的巨魔，我也想成为，嘻嘻
因为没有看过任何前作稍微有一些接不上的陌生感，但还是能从单独的一部作品里感受到希望人类与自然中的其他生物和谐共处的渴盼。Troll们的妈妈为了保护人类没有坐起来和自己的孩子们相聚，她舍弃了很多，但从未远离。每年一次团聚日是不是太少了！Baba小小一只好可爱。
Baba母亲为了保护孩子，甘愿承受骨肉分离；Hilda妈妈在巨魔环绕的夜晚坚持外出寻找Hilda；巨魔母亲为了城市与孩子，甘愿一直被埋在地下……啊～互相理解换位思考的母爱真是美好而让人羡慕
最后结局的升华很加分，超越物种的大爱和包容，温暖你我。
看之前没想到是一部母爱电影🥲hilda和妈妈太感人了。另外，阿尔伯格没死真的很可惜。期待第三季!!
