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".
之前某大厂员工加班跳楼的，猝死的，社交媒体都给你封锁，保安都维持秩序不外露。
个人觉得2021年最佳影片之一。很喜欢导演的剧情设置，超市关门，拒绝大婶的爱，最后的画…。比《驾驶我的车》更有张力和说服力
空白是指父女之间感情的空缺，父亲脾气暴躁，对女儿关心太少，直到女儿过世太逐渐悔悟。海报太丑，乱入的热心大婶有点不知所谓。
选材很讨巧 注定了这故事的深思 喜欢父亲道歉那场戏 也许这就是人性中的善
7分。一开始没想到会有人向我推荐这片子，但实际看下来的观感倒还挺不错的。儿童片该有的一应俱全，各种战斗场面完全就是为了大银幕而生，国产动画能拍成这样我是挺满意的了。各种致敬哏，谐音哏，还有歌舞，战斗，爆炸，春节看个热闹的话的确不错哦~~~
和小朋友一起去看，他看进去了，还哭了，觉得童年是这样。
和解有的时候确实不是一件容易的事。
留白很多，涉及到家庭教育，社会舆论，学校教育，尤其是社会舆论对于普通大众的杀伤力其实很大，普通群众觉得自己是正义的化身，可对于当事人来说可能是一辈子都迈不过去的坎，联想到现实社会，感触满满，愿逝者安息！可以看出电影想表达的东西很多，但是都没有太深刻的挖掘，留了许多空白
3.5吧，额外为古田新太。其实直到最后，我们也不知道真相到底如何，生活继续，回不去
老生常谈人类是无法互相理解的，但也许会有转折可以稍微理解一点了
校方踢皮球，媒体瞎剪辑，渔民变牛郎，不懂少女漫，热心大婶之吻，失传超市便当，透明指甲油，天上海豚云，但最绝望的还是葬礼上的母亲道歉，太苦了，所有人都好苦
车祸毁灭的绝对不仅仅是逝者的家庭，而是所有与之有关的人，除了卡车司机外，所有相关人都被毁灭了。影片还做到了一点就是人怎么会轻易选择原谅呢？就算有愧疚。最让人动容的是选择自杀的司机西山的母亲的一番话，女儿无法面对懦弱的选择了逃避的方式，将由母亲来继续承担责任。而另一方面店长多次面对花音父亲确没有选择直面沟通，而是不断逃避，让误会加深。同时影片也批判了媒体无良，为了热度流量不惜选择性的播报导致真相扭曲。结尾父亲的不断努力也最终和女儿建立了链接和共鸣。
熊出没系列第一次涉猎科幻题材，还是一个环保主题，嗯，格局大了，不愧是每年稳定收割票房口碑的春节档电影
各种超英、科幻片的大融合
《熊出没》越来越有钱的，一看这个制作就知道没少花钱。
为了达成冲突及事件后的反应，剧作太刻意了，以及大货车司机之后全程不在场，显得非常奇怪不连贯。
在失去花音的时间里，老父亲开始弥补那些本该属于她的空白……坂本桃李好像一直演不开心的角色……
本片描述的是坚硬的东西如何一点点被洗刷和变软.
不得不说老演员们演技真的是恰到好处啊，桃李又接这种阴沉的剧了。一开始看所有人都是坏人，到爸爸的道歉，店主打电话道歉，妈妈哭着求原谅，最后的海豚云和闪闪发光的海边女儿的身影，大人们最终要学会和自己和解然后继续向前。嗯还有从头到尾都好好的藤原季节。
有点俗的故事不过剧情设计得比较巧妙，节奏也把控得不错，但回想起来它并没有提供更多解读的可能性，每一处好像都指向唯一的答案，结尾的空白也完全是单向度的。日本社会的罪感文化确实恐怖，可惜导演太直白和用力了，且大部分人物都是扁平的。 @2021-12-12 00:56:03
