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".
副cp怎么样了我真很在意。
出来一看票根 这竟然只是保护级（6+）的电影🥵6岁以上儿童真的可以在家长陪同下观看这个电影吗🥵虽然算是隐晦 至少也辅12或者辅15吧
把tv动画里下巴阴影给改了太好了，之前看的时候就感觉不习惯，歌很好听，剧情一般吧，但是两个人好配好甜！还多加了点原作没有的H，开心嘿嘿😁感觉电影就是粉丝向吧，应该没有路人误入吧😆
没有用华丽镜头展示自然奇观，而是将摄影机客观平静地对准自然物质，当探险队深入洞穴，便开启了万物之灵性。在洞内的摄影机设置令人想起《同志之谊》在矿井下的obstruction美学，在此，这种去除辞藻的限制性体现出超验感，与对物质的尊重。对历史的纪录式搬演，又隐藏起叙事，最终完成一首纯粹关于人与自然的赞美诗。
太美了，太喜欢了。用镜头写成的细腻优美的散文，简直想起立给导演和摄影师鼓掌！1）绳子和生命：老人和驴的绳子，洞内和洞外的绳子 2）人物以各种动线在固定的镜头中移动，光和火如同追光，老人的眼神如同镜头 3）外来者：寂静偏僻的村庄出现了探险队，无人踏足的深洞留下了未烧尽的肯尼迪和一个足球 4）洞穴学家从一颗石头开始探索混沌，又在山雾中回归混沌 5）景深的巧思太打动人，画面太完美 #BJIFF2021#
现在的漫画真的有点脸盲 每个主演唯一的区别就是发色不一样 没看过这部漫画的 愣是串不起来谁是谁 更何况这剧情也不咋地 根本就没有让人想深究下去的欲望
*说“美则美矣”短评那个人没看懂，无语😓
换汤不换药 没有什么惊喜其实emmmm
想看更多的感情戏哈哈哈，play太少了，脖子下的阴影没了，再多一点甜甜的戏份就好了，还出现了副cp，动画版更趣味一些，剧场版更纯情一些。
救命，真的会被这个剧场版温暖死甜死。
感情细腻的佳作，高人终于从那个一直被动接受爱意的一方变成了努力表达爱意的一方，蠢太还是那个纯情大狗狗好可爱哦，监禁那一晚吓死我了，以为又要像上次“高人被绫木睡了，蠢太对他说你要是下了这张床我就再也不追你了”一样，还好这次两人没怎么闹别扭。
今早起来照镜子面容白皙透亮，睡眠不足依旧神采奕奕，这就是BL的力量！
2021北影节最后一部。和第一部都在学院南路深影巨幕厅。
两条线硬要联系只能用隐喻，整个探索的过程慢慢就没重点了
制作还是好PPT但是抒情部分竟然共情了……最近真是……
真实的心意，一定要好好传达才能被知悉。遇到了特别的人，便有了属于自己的唯一选择。剧情挺好的
这故事是非常想快进的，坚持只因为高人还是那么好抱
BJIFF2021# 8.5 杜比的音效和色彩有加分，前面一直都没get为何探险队对洞穴的下探过程和洞穴旁的一位老人的最后生命状态要做平行，直到影片过半后的一组平行镜头恍然大悟。洞内下探到后半深部，从底部镜头给到强光手电照向洞底水潭，木屋中医生用手电照射老人的眼睛确认生命的状态。探索即是生命之源，外寻天地之边界，内探生命之无穷，用追求纯粹的影像和声音将二者结合是一次极其超验的生命深度探索之旅。
剧情好尴尬 画风突变就注定是所有剧场版的命运吗
家人们我看完后脚趾头都抠断了，这剧情和动作尬没边儿，整部全靠颜值和18r撑下来的，五星是为了情怀。
