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".
太抓马了，但是感觉里面的三观输出真的和我们不太是一个层次的。
感情是流动的，爱是永恒的。你真幸福有这么多人爱着你。
共同的经历和情分造就了人之间的联系。但我还是很不喜欢 出轨是两个人造成 的说法。
温暖 有趣 真实 爱情之上有个孩子真的不一样 7.75/10
（不喜飞叶子那部分，但青少年也正常）
現實是會和解的家庭太少太少了，Paolo怒吼Leone的時候只覺得如果每個孩子知道自己遲早要面對這些傷痛，會不會寧願沒有來過這個世界？（另：弟弟太好看了，Leone你確定不用再深度探索一下自我？
好看。你們拍電影的要是想不到拍什麼就寫個好的同性戀劇本套個大家看膩的異性戀模式就好。
灯塔之后A24那股神秘的灵性似乎就被榨尽，风格独特的黑白画面再现也无法弥补经典改编的平庸之罪，科恩夫妇联手丹泽尔也不过是维持中规中矩的古典感，而值得赞美的仅剩女巫登场时压迫感极强的妖异表演，以及作为招牌摄影的迷雾填补消散与白日-大地的转场切换。最后不得不感叹黑泽明那座蜘蛛巢城已经成为后来所有麦克白改编时被迫直面的不可逾越之山脉。
家庭乱炖果然是意大利的天赋技能啊！但抓马的剧情中有很多值得思考的地方！
相较于“西方”，意大利还是有很不一样的文化传统的。出轨和分离拍的这么drama，不是撕心裂肺，而是啼笑皆非的闹剧，一切都是淡淡的，也挺好的，闹完吵完还能相见，而不是非得痛苦反思，从精神上榨取出点东西出来。
同性也好异性也好
这片的开放程度，同性恋，代孕，同性婚姻，出生证，出轨，中学性，出柜，大麻，处处是禁忌，到底是社会进步文明了，还是社会复杂多样了，但丝毫不影响温情爱情亲情的体现！
👨👨👦👨👨👦👨👨👦coming soon⋯⋯沒有血緣的親情也可以千絲萬縷糾纏不斷，即使選擇了最後的分道揚鑣，也不能否定曾經有過的溫情陪伴。
我喜欢这部电影~我们国家什么时候能有如此景象呢，虽然这个希望很小很小，但每次看到这样的电影心里还是会有一点小小的期待……
3.5，极简+小景别的大段独白+超大景别的“心理空间”，这种结合加强了戏剧舞台感以及人物内心感受，打算在形式上、风格上的建树反而被大段台词束缚，科恩有些想法却没出新意，比较像早期《奥赛罗》的风格，但光影、场景转换利用等技术上的处理以及台词是很精致的。
这是非常理想化的结果
好喜欢这种80s打扮的意大利少年，小男主可爱演的也好，意大利喜剧虽然总是过度抓马，但是因为是意大利人那种语速和手势的表达就觉得合理了哈哈哈哈……
近来看的笑的最大声的一部电影，最微妙的就是几场电影场景里眼神交汇后流露的剧情走向与脑中想象的情节发展一致时，感觉到一种满足的契合感。
人生充满意外和惊喜（惊吓），无一例外。7.5
适合随便打发一下时间，这种廉价的意大利抓马剧，还是能看的。把奈飞青春片和意大利家庭剧杂糅一下，价值观和主题都与时俱进，同志夫夫开始出轨闹离婚争夺孩子的抚养权了，一出鸡飞狗跳无比热闹的大戏。
