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".
然后希望像动画片那样，当我们长成大人，都还记得自己曾经是小孩吧。
救命 我真的吐了 完全就是炒冷饭 一点新意也没有 特别是霸王龙口号给我看的尬死了🤮
两星给情怀。。。完全就是电视剧重制，三分之二的内容与原版一样都看过了我还以为是我搞错了看到大家感受都一样就知道了，最后也许是想搞个关爱老人主题升华?抱歉没有搞到。这应该是靠情怀圈钱了真没意思何必呢
被欺骗的感觉，太失望了，真的。
冷饭也好，照搬也罢。我愿意去看图图就算是为个情怀，想想近年牛鬼蛇神的动画片，我愿意花钱洗洗眼，回忆往昔不忘初心，我们也是有好看动画片的！加油！
【平遥影展展映】柬埔寨电影。以居民楼拆迁事件中的一家人为故事背景，构筑并诠释了民宅建筑、社区邻里与人的关系。记住了影片中两处如梦幻般的场景：加油站出现一模一样的分身、废墟走廊里穿西装的父亲。分开的朋友再也不能一起跳舞，拆掉的楼房和父亲被截掉的腿一样无法复原。两星半
哈哈哈哈超喜欢胡图图，虽然调皮，可他是一个听爸妈讲道理的乖孩子，有自己的神奇想法，总能给爸妈创造小惊喜。❤️ ❤️ ❤️
就当给童年美好的回忆买一张票吧，图图的一家就是千千万万中国当代家庭的缩影，这不就是我的家庭吗，所以对大耳朵图图就会有极强的情感带入。
把以前的剧情重新拼凑出来的 没有美食狂想曲惊喜
#PYIFF2021# 本以为是个闷片，但没想到还挺喜欢的，和其他东南亚那种气质燥热走神秘路线的片子不同，这个故事挺写实的，应该是融入了导演自己的个体经验，好友的接连离开，家园的坍塌消失，自己内心留守还是出走的抉择，通过主角的视角，基本上在较短的篇幅内把情绪表达出来了。从开头的俯瞰，到结尾的摧毁，整体都维持了比较统一完整的美学体系。有没有科长昔日的影子暂且按下不表，但至少那些人们搬离后废屋的空镜头让我想到了泰国的纳瓦彭的风格，时间在流逝，温度痕迹尚在，却已不见踪影。就是三段式的结构划分稍微有点没必要。给三星半。
我的童年都献给言情剧了...那时候就应该多看些热门动画片啊
午后的静态，废墟里的人像。摄影上乘，但三个片段没有很好地组织起来，更像是各自独立，各自成为市景的一个侧面。金边这个城市，名字有落日余晖的味道。
剧情老套,抓不住孩子的心，看了半天儿子问啥时候演完呀
一部动画片的好坏，自己看了就知道。
可能是我老了，当初报着期待的心去看但是我觉得这电影不咋地 没什么心意 很像是圈钱的片子 也没有重新创作，就是把动画片里的内容加长
然后希望像动画片那样，当我们长成大人，都还记得自己曾经是小孩吧。
这部动画片已经不是从前的这部动画片了，00后也不是曾经的00后了。总感觉觉电影没电视剧那般好看。可能长大后看以前的动画片，有点那个的感觉。
陪孩子看的，孩子看的非常开心，在场的小朋友都非常开心电影结束都在边唱边跳霸王龙，我看的很无聊所以综合一下四星⭐毕竟孩子是真的很喜欢
十岁的小孩都看不进去，剧情十分无趣！一分给国产动画鼓励！
很多片段动画片里都有，但我永远喜欢胡图图❤️
