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".
要什么男朋友，请给我一只Jeff相伴到老。以及，人类怎么还不毁灭，太阳耀斑你搞快点。
没看过，看到这么多刷高评分不爽，生活中也没见过几个眯眯眼，到动画全部都是了
爱狗人士即使到世界末日也要纯手工打造一个机器人并且把它的心变成狗罐头开罐器。汤姆汉克斯现在接得戏，大有不屑与人类演对手戏的架势。
一段陪伴的结束，另一段陪伴的开始。这只小狗，有最爱他的两个人，芬奇和杰夫。
基本是套了个后末世的概念重演《荒岛余生》，斯皮尔伯格的心，泽米吉斯的壳，尽管潦草，万物爱最大。
真的太喜欢这部片子了。喜欢到一时间简单的几句都难以概括它每一分每一秒带给我的那种仿佛经历了一生一般的触动。PS 一只啥也干不了的笨狗狗只要学会在情感上控制人类完成寄生，就能在末日活下去。
就剩下图片式的画面了……懒得费唾沫加一星给狗子好了。
莫名想到星爷《功夫》。不是我杯茶，看得有点无聊。为传统文化和动画制作加半颗星。为什么现在这些粤语配音就是没有以前看的tvb演员原声粤语听起来自然呢。
终于亲自看上了！场景做得真好，无论广州还是顺德都几乎可以乱真……情节很多日漫元素显得尴尬，跟本土文化格格不入，剧情有些过渡不好的地方也是硬生生糊弄过去了，主角也是莫名其妙开挂，但……看到木棉花，听到振奋的鼓点，如何能不被打动呢//感谢木头姐给看了！五星！！必须的五星！！！
卖得一手好萌，机器人都续航无限了人类能被一个uv就干成废土，毁灭吧赶紧的。
太美了，第一次看见动画里有不轻飘飘的，让人believable的中国村子，城市，天空，树，人，烟火。扎扎实实的有真实感的角色，鼓点打在心上，好想去佛山看舞狮。可能是国产动画top5 //igc
Used to make me smile
最后那部分给我整感动了。忽然就感到一种巨大的孤独压迫着你。人的生命是脆弱而短暂的。把自己带入到那个机器人身份，看着自己熟悉的人离开，放眼望去，只剩下你，还有一条狗，从此连个说话的人都没有。
抱着去看看的心情去看，一开场的女孩子舞狮就被惊艳到了~ 两人踩单车在巷子里乱窜的片段大爱，非常有那种老城的生活气息~
太喜欢了，这个片子太合适合我了。看似简单，但是细节一流，情感率真。Jeff，尤其他那双手，想知道是不是模型，好想捧在手里自己亲眼看看，赞爆了的复古机械美。
平等地对待生命的社恐天才。汉克斯真的是忠厚老实脸。
呜呜呜汤姆·汉克斯人类代言人forever！
PS：这种国内流媒体引进也挺好的，不用专门去找，电视上一打开就看了，方便。
童话故事了，不需要和其他人类拼命的废土科幻能有什么意思。但公路旅行永远浪漫的，世界末日也要压着双黄线一路向西，再忙也记得给自己搞件大衣。
5/10。放到爱死机第二季里都是不及格水平，短片的体量撑成长片的必然结果。一人一狗一机器人末世求生，完全是国内可以拍的题材啊为什么没有呢？廉价的眼泪，看开头知结局的故事，这才是马丁批判的游乐园。
