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".
一般。小马这个IP的生命力来自角色自身的魅力，但至少从电影来讲，没有看出有什么让人印象深刻的形象。
反转突兀，整体完成度不错，暗黑版《领居的窗》。
这片的内在逻辑链条我没搞懂，尤其自杀那里。心理学课堂的短暂听讲经历告诉我，这种爱好者可不是suicide人群分布集中区。
独角马，陆马，飞马，三合一的女主小马很可爱！
“小马宝莉·新时代”这部电影很精彩，我最喜欢的角色就是小伊，她性格开朗，喜欢冒险，我最喜欢的是主人公在寻找魔法的途中，还遇到了🦄️和两个飞马，几位朋友克服困难，找到了三块宝石，并让他们和谐相处，结局很美好，我很喜欢
三大种族的友谊故事在剧集里也讲过，没故事可讲了吗？
制作上看起来还可以，并不显得网大质感，也能看出导演想法还挺多的，除了套用《后窗》，像拍照、监听、窥视与被窥视者的身份互置这些元素，很容易让人联想起《放大》、《凶线》、《对话》这些影史经典。可惜这个剧本为了强扭反转，基本算是写崩了，越往后崩得越厉害，视听上也比较平，结尾关于隐私危机的那番侃侃而谈，更像是强行归纳主旨，总之这片子的观感既松散又牵强，无论视听密度还是内核表达，跟那些珠玉在前的杰作相比显然不在一个位面，到头来最有看头的还是情色元素。话说回来，女一女二是真的都很好看。
看到有sydney和刘承羽就决定看一看 确实不错 就是前面有点拖沓 一个半小时长度应该正好 之前看亚马逊的夜曲就觉得sydney不错 没想到这个片子还是亚马逊出品的 ps突然觉得刘承羽特别像亚洲版的blake lively
很难相信孩之宝拉上EONE和netflix就做出这么个玩意儿，它存在的唯一意义就是证明了小马四代的成功就只是个happy accident ！！
不知道是不是因为G4的世界观已经被九季动画榨干了没什么新东西可写。虽然G5的世界观构建略显粗糙，这部电影的剧情也过于套路、强行，但我还是觉得非常有意思，起码有希望部分地跳出G4的条条框框看一点新奇的设定和故事了。（以及Hitch这对小动物的亲和力是fluttershy转世吗）
就是可爱....上天的可爱，歌也好听。看完舍不得的程度
😭
画面、人物、拍摄手法都很美，但最后为了反转而反转实在是画蛇添足，毕竟女主真的没有什么值得可怜的地方。
justice，is that the best straight voice you can do？ not good enough🥲
偷窥悬疑片，女主有这样的结局也属自作自受，结尾反转失真，演员长得美有演技，so hot
非常差，除了画面和音乐，真的都很差。这个剧情毫无新意、纯低龄向，几次矛盾和转折都猜的一清二楚——不，甚至不需要猜。而且人物的感情也不够圆满，形象也不够鲜明。非常差！
视听效果很不错的，角色塑造很立体。就是后面俗了，，可惜
剧情神马的一塌糊涂，西德妮·斯威尼是唯一的看点。
我说真的会有人看完这部电影不喜欢小马宝莉的吗没有吧
两小时太长了，这种片就得压缩到90分钟以内，20分钟的剧情，楞是磨磨蹭蹭的一个小时还没看懂女主到底想干嘛？前戏慢的叫人犯困，加上男主每天阳痿，这片到底是来折磨异性恋男观众还是异性恋女观众的？
