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".
1.剧情上其实没太大问题，就是有点平淡。2.服化道水平肉眼可见的缩水（毕竟德普3000万美金白给）3.拔叔的格林德沃真的相比德普差太多了。4.傻逼华纳！！
3.5，整部影片就像数学公式一样，情节展开及求证过程，结果都很一目了然，但仍是美丽的，就像数学一样，其它任何学问都是如此。
一部电影，表达了国家、社会、个人三个层面的羁绊，结合的还不错，就算是成功了!
完全沦为《哈利·波特》彩蛋电影。麒麟要向邓布利多下跪大败笔。格林德沃在甄嬛传里大概活不过前十集。大卫耶茨手上是有华纳什么要命的把柄吗快点离开魔法界吧求求了。
我们ggad这对老给子在建中互联网惨失出柜权_(:з」∠)_
喜欢这种丑萌丑萌的小动物。用动物影射人，有一定的意义。
丑陋版马达加斯加；
画风超级可爱，非常适合心情不好的时候看，推荐观看
说它不是澳洲人拍的吧，各种元素用得是真溜…… 说它是澳洲人拍的吧，能解救cane toad也不知道是怎么想的……
看到互摸心脏那里我还以为在看同人。。。看得出来罗阿姨也在嗑，剧情都不重要了
不过还是有很多现实意义的。关于动物。关于美丑。关于生命的不同。
做正确的事，而不是容易的事。大人没有魔法世界。
数学是真的有意思
一般韩影会仅仅局限于前半截“打鸡血”，会草草地讲一个“扫地僧”跟贫民子弟结缘、贫民子弟成绩一路飙升最后拿下“毕达哥拉斯竞赛”金奖的故事，了不起所有观众一起亢奋一番，表现并不会比印度早期励志片更出色，总之，止于“鲤鱼跳龙门”的阶层跃升，不会深入分析身份设定的细节、亦不会质询数学天才落难的事由，很多支线浅尝辄止，唯恐把摊子铺太大。本片不一样。本片是良心叙事、没有放弃任何一条支线：“何以脱北叛逃”的意识形态之争、教育系统内部腐败的利益之争、资源分配不公的贫富之争以及数学与艺术之间的共通性等议题的探讨无一不是好的观念的回响；“欧拉公式”之美、巴赫乐谱之美以及钢琴所演泽的常数之美是主客体交互中自由流运的抽象之美，一切又是人对客观事物的观照，足以见其人文、人本精神。相比制造一个奇观，本片更关心人的本身。
·神奇动物在哪？在哪啊？
国外搞BL又不犯法，既然神奇动物拍不出什么名堂，既然卖点都在GGAD，老老实实就拿他俩当主角拍个系列不好吗？好歹剧情给我整明白咯，别硬要塞个神奇动物点题最后搞成个四不像…魔法世界选领导就这么儿戏，血盟在前作里说得很像回事儿似的结果莫名其妙就打破了，Credence也完全是工具人，那个卧底更是让人摸不着头脑…最后，剧情都拍成这样了，就不能找青年组那两位救个场让我圆个梦吗啊椰子？？？好吧全片唯一亮点互摸心跳…以及护树罗锅和麒麟还是蛮可爱的…
开头是场约会诶（还被删了一句），🤔感觉全篇都是工具人/动物，有点冗长但能接受。※还能和朋友们一起出来看首映~知足了
thank you regal 4DX, it’s been a torture. 特效不错，小哥挺帅，仅此而已
如果是罗琳写的小说，我觉得会解释得很清楚。之前哈利波特电影也有类似的毛病，后几部越来越长设定越堆越多，改编电影会有大量删减，如果不是看过原著可能会一头雾水。这次主线挺清晰的，但是伏笔回收得太简单粗暴了，就各种一言难尽吧。
很好，就是华纳怎么还不死啊
