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".
2021大怀旧时代，但同样题材（和类似的毛病）还是挑人的。森山未来的自我沉溺触景生情比苏打能让人感同身受，伊藤莎莉演文艺女青年也比村花有说服力多了。此外这片其实比起《花束》不算报菜名，对城市时空间和文化符号的处理显然更具体。只不过这种走马灯式的闪回确实只是和表象绕圈圈罢了。
跳跃的倒叙 // 和90年代女友的感情线有点那花束版般恋爱的意思。以及想体验一下那个仿宇宙星空夜幕的爱情旅馆。
以为平平无奇度过的那些人生正是自己现在向往却回不去日子
不是无法成为大人，而是这样稀稀拉拉长大，也算大人么？
四星+。我觉得剧本有问题，有的地方很矫情。然后没有强关系就不要搞来回的时间线，这倒叙着实没必要。。。但觉得拍得真的很好很好，如果他就简单正时间线拍评分会好很多很多。。。打算再看一遍，到时候再来改评分。是最近难得喜欢的片子。
完全能明白北美为什么大卖，超级热曲，超级明星配音，超级欢乐，超级热闹合家欢。相比于第一部更加drama，非常稳的接住了第一部的情节，太欢乐了。可惜啊可惜，国内无法享受这样的快乐
为霉和U2加一星，结尾的那场show完成度还是挺高的
大人不是主动变成大人的，是不再有使孩子气的特权时才变成大人的。是脆弱、不讲理、难过、大笑无处施展了，这样的你不会有人接住了，那一刻，就开始被扔在成人世界里流放了。
p2『她们都老了吧，她们在哪里啊？』
高潮戏的歌舞并没有很惊艳，有种历尽艰难结果整出了平庸之作的遗憾。
剧情转折都不能用生硬形容了 但是听歌曲大串烧还是很开心的
3.7 it's alright 不太够劲
怎么说呢 希望我们都能与自己和解 撕去歌颂不普通的外壳（总觉得男女主每次说普通的时候都是在隐藏自己的害怕 自卑那种）顺利的长大成人！
开头剧情有点无聊，来家里玩的2个小学生（一年级和高年级）都不怎么感兴趣，感觉一直在唱歌，6号下午自己看的，后面还行，就是哈士奇不管她爸了，我有点介意，U盘放不下了，13号下午一边做其他的事手机又放了一遍，虽然歌曲也挺多的，但不像看完第一部那样去下载片中曲，感觉看完就过了，结尾大白狼被警察抓走时，助理心碎地喊出 I love you，就跟前不久误杀2里面市长被抓时秘书长的表现有异曲同工之处，讲真我看网文都从来都不磕上司和秘书这种cp，毕竟打工人各种内心吐槽上司才更真实，不懂
俗套但好看，合家欢永不过时，剧情比第一部稍弱，另外我好喜欢那只炮灰老虎
『君の身体にも成仏してない言葉が詰まってるよ、きっと』
《欢乐好声音2》延续了第一部的励志故事与追梦主题，在插科打诨、欢天喜地的热闹情节中，也多了几分安静与传统，这也是该系列动画与时下其他动画的最大不同之处。
摄影挺好，主题也很棒，就是剪辑和叙事手法有点欣赏不来……
“为什么这么说？每个人都会死啊” 丧感十足
欣赏moon的执着不放弃，有股项飚说的认命不认输的“傻”劲儿。名副其实的贺岁片，电影院坐的全是小朋友。音乐响起：I have climbed the highest mountains, I have run through the fields, I still haven’t found what I’m looking for… 我又泪目了。
